AMPK: a contextual oncogene or tumor suppressor?
The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) functions to monitor and maintain energy homeostasis at the cellular and organism level. AMPK was perceived historically primarily as a component of the LKB1/STK11 tumor suppressor (LKB1 mutations cause the Peutz-Jegher cancer predisposition syndrome) cascade upstream of the TSC1/2/mTOR pathway and thus likely to be a tumor suppressor. However, AMPK has r...
متن کاملTumor suppressor protein kinase Chk2 is a mediator of anoikis of intestinal epithelial cells.
Resistance of carcinoma cells to anoikis, apoptosis that is normally induced by detachment of nonmalignant epithelial cells from the extracellular matrix, is thought to be critical for carcinoma progression. Molecular mechanisms that control anoikis of nonmalignant and cancer cells are understood poorly. In an effort to understand them we found that detachment of nonmalignant intestinal epithel...
متن کاملCHK2-BRCA1 tumor-suppressor axis restrains oncogenic Aurora-A kinase to ensure proper mitotic microtubule assembly.
BRCA1 (breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein) is a multifunctional tumor suppressor involved in DNA damage response, DNA repair, chromatin regulation, and mitotic chromosome segregation. Although the nuclear functions of BRCA1 have been investigated in detail, its role during mitosis is little understood. It is clear, however, that loss of BRCA1 in human cancer cells leads to chromosomal ...
متن کاملSIRT1, Is It a Tumor Promoter or Tumor Suppressor?
SIRT1 has been considered as a tumor promoter because of its increased expression in some types of cancers and its role in inactivating proteins that are involved in tumor suppression and DNA damage repair. However, recent studies demonstrated that SIRT1 levels are reduced in some other types of cancers, and that SIRT1 deficiency results in genetic instability and tumorigenesis, while overexpre...
متن کاملThe tumor suppressor CHK2: regulator of DNA damage response and mediator of chromosomal stability
Author manuscripts have been peer reviewed and accepted for publication but have not yet been edited. Author manuscripts have been peer reviewed and accepted for publication but have not yet been edited. Abstract CHK2 represents a multi-organ tumor susceptibility gene that encodes for a serine/threonine protein kinase, which is involved in the response to cellular DNA damage. After ATM mediated...
