The PTEN tumor suppressor protein inhibits phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling that promotes translocation of Mdm2 into the nucleus. When restricted to the cytoplasm, Mdm2 is degraded. The ability of PTEN to inhibit the nuclear entry of Mdm2 increases the cellular content and transactivation of the p53 tumor suppressor protein. Retroviral transduction of PTEN into U87MG (PTEN null) glioblastoma cells increases p53 activity and expression of p53 target genes and induces cell cycle arrest. U87MG/PTEN glioblastoma cells are more sensitive than U87MG/PTEN null cells to death induced by etoposide, a chemotherapeutic agent that induces DNA damage. Previously, tumor suppressor proteins have been supposed to act individually to suppress cancers. Our results establish a direct connection between the activities of two major tumor suppressors and show that they act together to respond to stresses and malignancies. PTEN protects p53 from survival signals, permitting p53 to function as a guardian of the genome. By virtue of its capacity to protect p53, PTEN can sensitize tumor cells to chemotherapy that relies on p53 activity. p53 induces PTEN gene expression, and here it is shown that PTEN protects p53, indicating that a positive feedback loop may amplify the cellular response to stress, damage, and cancer. 相似文献

Inactivation of the cellular p53 gene is a common feature of Friend virus-induced murine erythroleukemia cell lines and may represent a necessary step in the progression of this disease. As well, frequent loss or mutation of p53 alleles in diverse human tumors is consistent with the view of p53 as a tumor suppressor gene. To examine the significance of p53 gene inactivation in tumorigenesis, we have attempted to express transfected wild-type p53 in three p53-negative tumor cell lines: murine DP16-1 Friend erythroleukemia cells, human K562 cells, and SKOV-3 cells. We found that aberrant p53 proteins, which differ from wild-type p53 by a single amino acid substitution, were expressed stably in these cells, whereas wild-type p53 expression was not tolerated. The inability of p53-negative tumor cell lines to support long-term expression of wild-type p53 protein is consistent with the view that p53 is a tumor suppressor gene. 相似文献

Loss of the tumor suppressor phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) has frequently been observed in human gliomas, conferring AKT activation and resistance to ionizing radiation (IR) and drug treatments. Recent reports have shown that PTEN loss or AKT activation induces premature senescence, but many details regarding this effect remain obscure. In this study, we tested whether the status of PTEN determined fate of the cell by examining PTEN-deficient U87, U251, and U373, and PTEN-proficient LN18 and LN428 glioma cells after exposure to IR. These cells exhibited different cellular responses, senescence or apoptosis, depending on the PTEN status. We further observed that PTEN-deficient U87 cells with high levels of both AKT activation and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) underwent senescence, whereas PTEN-proficient LN18 cells entered apoptosis. ROS were indispensable for inducing senescence in PTEN-deficient cells, but not for apoptosis in PTEN-proficient cells. Furthermore, transfection with wild-type (wt) PTEN or AKT small interfering RNA induced a change from premature senescence to apoptosis and depletion of p53 or p21 prevented IR-induced premature senescence in U87 cells. Our data indicate that PTEN acts as a pivotal determinant of cell fate, regarding senescence and apoptosis in IR-exposed glioma cells. We conclude that premature senescence could have a compensatory role for apoptosis in the absence of the tumor suppressor PTEN through the AKT/ROS/p53/p21 signaling pathway. 相似文献

We are particularly interested in testing the principles of cell proliferation and apoptosis in the microenvironment of human lung cancers with respect to the cell survival protein Akt1 and PTEN2 . Akt is a cytosolic protein which promotes cell survival by phosphorylative inactivation of targets in apoptotic pathways. Akt has been found to play a role in the survival of experimental cancer cell lines in breast, prostate, ovary, lung and brain tissue. PTEN is a tumor suppressor gene whose protein product is expressed in inverse proportion to phosphorylated Akt in endometrial and breast cancer cell lines. No studies of the diagnostic significance of Akt and PTEN in human lung cancers have been reported. 相似文献

The constitutive activation of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and mutation of the p53 tumor suppressor are both detected in human cancer. We examined the potential regulation of JAK2 phosphorylation by wild-type (wt) p53 in human ovarian cancer cell lines, Caov-3 and MDAH2774, which harbor mutant form of p53 tumor suppressor gene and high levels of phosphorylated JAK2. The wt p53 gene was re-introduced into the cells using an adenovirus vector. In addition to wt p53, mutant p53 22/23, mutant p53-175, and NCV (negative control virus) were introduced into the cells in the control groups. Expression of wt p53, but not that of p53-175 mutant, diminished JAK2 tyrosine phosphorylation in MDAH2774 and Caov-3 cell lines. Expression of wt p53 or p53 22/23 mutant did not cause a reduction in the phosphorylation of unrelated protein kinases, ERK1 and ERK2 (ERK1/2). The inhibition of JAK2 tyrosine phosphorylation can be reversed by tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, sodium orthovanadate. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1-B levels increased with introduction of wt p53 and may be involved in the dephosphorylation of JAK2. These findings present a possible p53-dependent cellular process of modulating JAK2 tyrosine phosphorylation in ovarian cancer cell lines. 相似文献

Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) is a tumor suppressor commonly inactivated in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), but the prognostic significance of PTEN remains controversial. Here, we demon- strate significant prognostic value of combined PTEN mutation and expression for the survival of patients with GBM on the basis of analysis of large-scale cancer genomic data. PTEN nonsense mutations associated with sig- nificantly shorter disease-free survival and overexpression of PTEN protein linked to shorter disease-free and overall survival of patients with GBM. PTEN nonsense mutations correlated with decreased p53 and Gata3 protein levels and increased genomic instability in human GBM tissues. Expression of nonsense PTEN mutant decreased p53 and Gata3 levels, producing increased DNA damage both in vitro and in vivo. Mice carrying xenograft tumors with nonsense PTEN mutant displayed significantly shorter survival. Our data demonstrated the prognostic value of combined PTEN mutation and protein expression for patients with GBM and highlighted distinct biologic effects of nonsense and missense mutations of PTEN. 相似文献

In this study, differential gene expression between normal human mammary epithelial cells and their malignant counterparts (eight well established breast cancer cell lines) was studied using Incyte GeneAlbum 1-6, which contains 65,873 cDNA clones representing 33,515 individual genes. 3,152 cDNAs showed a > or =3.0-fold expression level change in at least one of the human breast cancer cell lines as compared with normal human mammary epithelial cells. Integration of breast tumor gene expression data with the genes in the tumor suppressor p53 signaling pathway yielded 128 genes whose expression is altered in breast tumor cell lines and in response to p53 expression. A hierarchical cluster analysis of the 128 genes revealed that a significant portion of genes demonstrate an opposing expression pattern, i.e. p53-activated genes are down-regulated in the breast tumor lines, whereas p53-repressed genes are up-regulated. Most of these genes are involved in cell cycle regulation and/or apoptosis, consistent with the tumor suppressor function of p53. Follow-up studies on one gene, RAI3, suggested that p53 interacts with the promoter of RAI3 and repressed its expression at the onset of apoptosis. The expression of RAI3 is elevated in most tumor cell lines expressing mutant p53, whereas RAI3 mRNA is relatively repressed in the tumor cell lines expressing wild-type p53. Furthermore, ectopic expression of RAI3 in 293 cells promotes anchorage-independent growth and small interfering RNA-mediated depletion of RAI3 in AsPc-1 pancreatic tumor cells induces cell morphological change. Taken together, these data suggest a role for RAI3 in tumor growth and demonstrate the predictive power of integrative genomics. 相似文献

Promoter analysis of tumor suppressor gene PTEN: identification of minimum promoter region 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Mutations of PTEN, a tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 10, which encodes a protein-tyrosine and lipid-phosphatase, are prevalent in various human cancers, including glioblastoma. Despite extensive characterization of PTEN mutations in human cancers and a relatively good understanding of the molecular roles of PTEN in the control of cellular processes, little is known about modes of PTEN regulation. To understand the regulation of expression of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN, we isolated a 2212 bp fragment from the human BAC clone 46B12 DNA. The 3' end of this fragment starts at the Not I site of -745 relative to the first translation codon ATG (+1) and ends at the Sal I site of -2957 at the 5' end. Using classical 5'RACE and primer extension techniques, nine start sites were observed between -817 and -984 upstream of the ATG start site. We located a 137 bp fragment (-958/-821) as the minimum promoter region using promoter deletion and luciferase assays. A 704 bp fragment (-33/-737) downstream of the 2212 bp fragment was also cloned. As indicated by luciferase assays, the data show that this region possesses no promoter function. Interestingly, a p53 binding sequence is located within the 599 bp fragment (-1344/-745), although p53 expression had a minimal effect on PTEN, demonstrating its insignificant role in PTEN gene expression. 相似文献

Alterations in the cell division:cell death ratio induce multiple autoimmune and transformation processes. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) controls cell division and cell death in vitro, but its effect on the function of the cellular immune system and on tumor formation in mammals is poorly characterized. Here we show that transgenic mice expressing in T lymphocytes an active form of PI3K derived from a thymic lymphoma, p65(PI3K), developed an infiltrating lymphoproliferative disorder and autoimmune renal disease with an increased number of T lymphocytes exhibiting a memory phenotype and reduced apoptosis. This pathology was strikingly similar to that described in mice exhibiting heterozygous loss of the tumor suppressor PTEN, a lipid and protein phosphatase. We show that overexpression of PTEN selectively blocks p65(PI3K)-induced 3T3 fibroblast transformation. Moreover, the early development of T cell lymphomas in p65(PI3K) Tg p53(-/-) mice indicated that PI3K contributes to tumor development. These observations demonstrate that constitutive activation of PI3K extends T cell survival in vivo, affects T cell homeostasis, and contributes to tumor generation, supporting a model in which selective increases in one type of PTEN substrate, the PI3K-derived lipid products, induce tumorigenesis. PI3K thus emerges as a potential target in autoimmune disease and cancer therapy. 相似文献

NEDD4-1 is a proto-oncogenic ubiquitin ligase for PTEN 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18

The tumor suppressor PTEN, a critical regulator for multiple cellular processes, is mutated or deleted frequently in various human cancers. Subtle reductions in PTEN expression levels have profound impacts on carcinogenesis. Here we show that PTEN level is regulated by ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation, and purified its ubiquitin ligase as HECT-domain protein NEDD4-1. In cells NEDD4-1 negatively regulates PTEN stability by catalyzing PTEN polyubiquitination. Consistent with the tumor-suppressive role of PTEN, overexpression of NEDD4-1 potentiated cellular transformation. Strikingly, in a mouse cancer model and multiple human cancer samples where the genetic background of PTEN was normal but its protein levels were low, NEDD4-1 was highly expressed, suggesting that aberrant upregulation of NEDD4-1 can posttranslationally suppress PTEN in cancers. Elimination of NEDD4-1 expression inhibited xenotransplanted tumor growth in a PTEN-dependent manner. Therefore, NEDD4-1 is a potential proto-oncogene that negatively regulates PTEN via ubiquitination, a paradigm analogous to that of Mdm2 and p53. 相似文献

Cell cycle arrest by the PTEN tumor suppressor is target cell specific and may require protein phosphatase activity 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

PTEN, a tumor suppressor commonly targeted in human cancer, possesses phosphatase activities toward both protein and lipid substrates. While PTEN suppresses gliomas through cell cycle inhibition which requires its lipid phosphatase activity, PTEN's effects on other tumor types and the role of its protein phosphatase activity are controversial or unknown. Here we show that exogenous wild-type PTEN arrests some, but not all human breast cancer cell lines in G1, in a manner independent of endogenous PTEN. Unexpectedly, the G129E mutant of PTEN selectively deficient in the lipid phosphatase activity still blocked the cell cycle of MCF-7 cells, while the G129R and H123Y mutants lacking both phosphatase activities were ineffective. These results suggest that PTEN's protein phosphatase activity likely contributes to its tumor suppressor function in subsets of tumors and that elucidation of downstream targets which dictate cellular responses to PTEN may have important implications for future cancer treatment strategies. 相似文献

The tumor suppressor PTEN controls a variety of biological processes including cell proliferation, growth, migration, and death. As a master cellular regulator, PTEN itself is also subjected to deliberated regulation to ensure its proper function. Defects in PTEN regulation have a profound impact on carcinogenesis. In this review, we briefly discuss recent advances concerning PTEN regulation and how such knowledge facilitates our understanding and further exploration of PTEN biology. The carboxyl-tail of PTEN, which appears to be associated with multiple types of posttranslational regulation, will be under detailed scrutiny. Further, a comparative analysis of PTEN and p53 suggests while p53 needs to be activated to suppress tumorigenesis (a dormant gatekeeper), PTEN is probably a constitutive surveillant against cancer development, thus a default gatekeeper. 相似文献
