PIN1 is an E2F target gene essential for Neu/Ras-induced transformation of mammary epithelial cells.
Oncogenes Neu/HER2/ErbB2 and Ras can induce mammary tumorigenesis via upregulation of cyclin D1. One major regulatory mechanism in these oncogenic signaling pathways is phosphorylation of serines or threonines preceding proline (pSer/Thr-Pro). Interestingly, the pSer/Thr-Pro motifs in proteins exist in two completely distinct cis and trans conformations, whose conversion is catalyzed specifical...
متن کاملAltered adhesions in ras-transformed breast epithelial cells.
Introduction The adhesive interactions of cells, either with their neighbours or with adjacent extracellular matrix (ECM), influence many aspects of cell behaviour [1,2]. W e are interested in the organization of these adhesions and in their roles in signalling to cells. Many cells in culture display two types of adhesion that are linked to the actin cytoskeleton: adherens junctions, involved i...
متن کاملQuantification of regenerative potential in primary human mammary epithelial cells
We present an organoid regeneration assay in which freshly isolated human mammary epithelial cells are cultured in adherent or floating collagen gels, corresponding to a rigid or compliant matrix environment. In both conditions, luminal progenitors form spheres, whereas basal cells generate branched ductal structures. In compliant but not rigid collagen gels, branching ducts form alveoli at the...
متن کاملPost-Transcriptional Regulation of Connexin43 in H-Ras-Transformed Cells
Connexin43 (Cx43) expression is lost in cancer cells and many studies have reported that Cx43 is a tumor suppressor gene. Paradoxically, in a cellular NIH3T3 model, we have previously shown that Ha-Ras-mediated oncogenic transformation results in increased Cx43 expression. Although the examination of transcriptional regulation revealed essential regulatory elements, it could not solve this para...
متن کاملMechanical mismatch between Ras transformed and untransformed epithelial cells.
The organization of the actin cytoskeleton plays a key role in regulating cell mechanics. It is fundamentally altered during transformation, affecting how cells interact with their environment. We investigated mechanical properties of cells expressing constitutively active, oncogenic Ras (RasV12) in adherent and suspended states. To do this, we utilized atomic force microscopy and a microfluidi...
