Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-(GPI-) anchored HSPG glypican-1 is strongly expressed in human breast and pancreatic cancer—both by the cancer cells and in the case of pancreatic cancer the adjacent fibroblasts—whereas expression of glypican-1 is low in the normal pancreas and in chronic pancreatitis. Treatment of two pancreatic cancer cell lines, which express glypican-1, with the enzyme phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase-C (PI-PLC) abrogated their mitogenic responses to two heparin-binding growth factors: fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2) and heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF). Treatment of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells with PI-PLC abrogates the mitogenic response to two heparin-binding growth factors, heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). Syndecan-1 is also expressed at high levels in breast cancer tissues as well as breast cancer cells by comparison with breast normal tissues. Temporary or permanent transfection of a glypican-1 antisense construct attenuated glypican-1 protein levels and the mitogenic response to FGF2 and HB-EGF. Glypican can be used to detect the carcinoma in vitro and therapeutics that either bind to (e.g., antibodies or drugs), remove (e.g., enzymes) or prevent the expression (e.g., antisense constructs) of surface of the extracellular domain of glypican-1 are effective in retarding the growth of glypican-responsive carcinomas.

The present invention relates to a therapeutic agent represented by the General formula (I), or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, or a solvate of the compound or the salt thereof:The therapeutic agent comprises a substance having the activity of inhibiting kinase activity of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (“FGFR2”). The therapeutic agent can be used for treating undifferentiated gastric cancer, and can also be used to treat organisms comprising a cell overexpressing FGFR2 or a cell expressing mutant FGFR2, or both. The present invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an FGFR2 inhibitory and methods of treatment therewith. The present invention also relates to a method for predicting the effect of an FGFR2 inhibitory substance on a patient.
