Cellular senescence limits the proliferative capacity of damaged cells and thereby acts as an intrinsic mechanism of tumor suppression. In this issue, Wajapeyee et al. (2008) identify insulin growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) as a secreted factor that mediates senescence induced by oncogenic BRAF in normal melanocytes. In addition, IGFBP7 triggers apoptosis in cells that have progressed to melanoma, suggesting a new approach for melanoma treatment. 相似文献

Since its discovery as the elusive tumor suppressor gene at the frequently mutated 10q23 locus, PTEN has been identified as lost or mutated in several sporadic and heritable tumor types. A decade of work has established that PTEN is a nonredundant phosphatase that is essential for regulating the highly oncogenic prosurvival PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This review discusses emerging modes of PTEN function and regulation, and speculates about how manipulation of PTEN function could be used for cancer therapy. 相似文献

MicroRNAs (miRNAs or mirs) are small, non-coding RNAs that bind specific mRNAs and decrease their translation or increase their degradation. miRNAs may modulate the formation and maintenance of tumors by regulating oncogene and tumor suppressor expression. For example, overexpression of a subset of miRNAs has been inversely correlated with certain tumor phenotypes, suggesting a role in tumor suppression. Pairs of oncogenes and the corresponding miRNAs that attenuate their expression have been recently identified. These miRNAs, or "anti-oncomirs," can act as natural inhibitors of oncogene function, indicating the possibility that they might be developed as novel therapeutics. 相似文献

Since its discovery close to twenty years ago, the ARF tumor suppressor has played a pivotal role in the field of cancer biology. Elucidating ARF's basal physiological function in the cell has been the focal interest of numerous laboratories throughout the world for many years. Our current understanding of ARF is constantly evolving to include novel frameworks for conceptualizing the regulation of this critical tumor suppressor. As a result of this complexity, there is great need to broaden our understanding of the intricacies governing the biology of the ARF tumor suppressor. The ARF tumor suppressor is a key sensor of signals that instruct a cell to grow and proliferate and is appropriately localized in nucleoli to limit these processes. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Role of the Nucleolus in Human Disease. 相似文献

The PIDDosome, a multiprotein complex constituted of the 'p53-induced protein with a death domain (PIDD), 'receptor-interacting protein (RIP)-associated ICH-1/CED-3 homologous protein with a death domain' (RAIDD) and pro-Caspase-2 has been defined as an activating platform for this apoptosis-related protease. PIDD has been implicated in p53-mediated cell death in response to DNA damage but also in DNA repair and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancer (NF-κB) activation upon genotoxic stress, together with RIP-1 kinase and Nemo/IKKγ. As all these cellular responses are critical for tumor suppression and deregulated expression of individual PIDDosome components has been noted in human cancer, we investigated their role in oncogenesis induced by DNA damage or oncogenic stress in gene-ablated mice. We observed that Pidd or Caspase-2 failed to suppress lymphoma formation triggered by γ-irradiation or 3-methylcholanthrene-driven fibrosarcoma development. In contrast, Caspase-2 showed tumor suppressive capacity in response to aberrant c-Myc expression, which did not rely on PIDD, the BH3-only protein Bid (BH3 interacting domain death agonist) or the death receptor ligand Trail (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand), but associated with reduced rates of p53 loss and increased extranodal dissemination of tumor cells. In contrast, Pidd deficiency associated with abnormal M-phase progression and delayed disease onset, indicating that both proteins are differentially engaged upon oncogenic stress triggered by c-Myc, leading to opposing effects on tumor-free survival. 相似文献

The role of PML in tumor suppression 总被引:37,自引:0,他引:37
The PML gene, involved in the t(15;17) chromosomal translocation of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), encodes a protein which localizes to the PML-nuclear body, a subnuclear macromolecular structure. PML controls apoptosis, cell proliferation, and senescence. Here, we review the current understanding of its role in tumor suppression. 相似文献

Autophagy was recently established as a novel tumor suppression mechanism, which stimulated a wave of investigations that were aimed at understanding exactly how autophagy prevents tumorigenesis, as well as to determine to what extent autophagy is implicated in human cancers. Autophagy might exert its tumor suppression function at the subcellular level by removing defective cytoplasmic components, such as damaged mitochondria. In addition, it might function at the cellular level by helping in the orderly removal of damaged cells. Previous studies indicated that autophagy is compromised in human breast, ovarian and prostate cancers. Recent research revealed that autophagy is activated by p53, a critical tumor suppressor that is involved in most, if not all, tumorigenesis. This study places autophagy in a broader context of human cancers. Future work elucidating the role of autophagy in the p53 circuit and p53 function might provide more insight into tumorigenesis and targeted cancer chemotherapy. 相似文献

Cellular senescence provides an intrinsic barrier to tumor development by preventing the proliferation of cells that are at risk for malignant transformation. In this issue, Krizhanovsky et al. (2008) report that senescence is an important player not only in tumor suppression but also in the response of liver tissue to injury. 相似文献
