RASSF1A Is Part of a Complex Similar to the Drosophila Hippo/Salvador/Lats Tumor-Suppressor Network
The Ras Association Domain Family 1A (RASSF1A) gene is one of the most frequently silenced genes in human cancer. RASSF1A has been shown to interact with the proapoptotic kinase MST1. Recent work in Drosophila has led to the discovery of a new tumor-suppressor pathway involving the Drosophila MST1 and MST2 ortholog, Hippo, as well as the Lats/Warts serine/threonine kinase and a protein named Sa...
متن کاملCellular senescence as a tumor-suppressor mechanism.
Organisms with renewable tissues had to evolve mechanisms to prevent the development of cancer. One such mechanism is cellular senescence, which irreversibly arrests the growth of cells at risk for neoplastic transformation. Recent findings have revealed the complexities of the senescence phenotype and unexpected possible consequences for the organism.
متن کاملClinicopathological Significance of Large Tumor Suppressor (LATS) Expression in Gastric Cancer
Purpose The aims of this study were to evaluate the expression of the large tumor suppressor (LATS) genes LATS1 and LATS2 by immunohistochemical staining of gastric cancer, and to evaluate the clinicopathological significance of LATS expression and its correlation with overall survival (OS). Materials and Methods LATS1 and LATS2 expression in a tissue microarray was detected by immunohistoche...
متن کاملStructure, expression, and chromosome mapping of LATS2, a mammalian homologue of the Drosophila tumor suppressor gene lats/warts.
We have cloned and characterized LATS2, a novel mammalian homologue of the Drosophila tumor suppressor gene lats/warts. Northern blot analysis showed ubiquitous expression of mouse LATS2 (MmLATS2) mRNA, whereas expression of human LATS2 (HsLATS2) mRNA was enhanced in skeletal muscle and heart. Immunoblotting analysis of fractionated cell lysates showed HsLats2 to be a nuclear protein. We mapped...
متن کاملWWOX, a new potential tumor suppressor gene.
BACKGROUND WWOX (WW domain-containing oxidoreductase) gene, located on chromosome 16q 23.3-24.1 in the region recognized as the common fragile site FRA16D is considered to be a tumor suppressor gene involved in various cancers: breast, ovarian, prostate, esophageal, lung, pancreatic, gastric and hepatic. The aim of this study was to describe (i) putative protein interactions of WWOX (ii) the mo...
