Restoration of tumor suppressor functions by small-molecule inhibitors
Over the last decades, accumulating data have advanced our understanding of the mechanism of action of tumor suppressor proteins and therapeutic strategies to restore tumor suppressor pathways have emerged as a promising approach for cancer therapy. Based on our recent findings on bridging integrator-1 (BIN1), we outline potential advantages and disadvantages of chemical activation of tumor sup...
متن کاملTumor suppression by small molecule inhibitors of translation initiation
Translation initiation factors are over-expressed and/or activated in many human cancers and may contribute to their genesis and/or progression. Removal of physiologic restraints on translation initiation causes malignant transformation. Conversely, restoration of physiological restrains on translation initiation reverts malignant phenotypes. Here, we extensively characterize the anti-cancer ac...
متن کاملEpigenetic reactivation of tumor suppressor genes by a novel small-molecule inhibitor of human DNA methyltransferases.
DNA methylation regulates gene expression in normal and malignant cells. The possibility to reactivate epigenetically silenced genes has generated considerable interest in the development of DNA methyltransferase inhibitors. Here, we provide a detailed characterization of RG108, a novel small molecule that effectively blocked DNA methyltransferases in vitro and did not cause covalent enzyme tra...
متن کاملImprinted CDKN1C Is a Tumor Suppressor in Rhabdoid Tumor and Activated by Restoration of SMARCB1 and Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors
SMARCB1 is deleted in rhabdoid tumor, an aggressive paediatric malignancy affecting the kidney and CNS. We hypothesized that the oncogenic pathway in rhabdoid tumors involved epigenetic silencing of key cell cycle regulators as a consequence of altered chromatin-remodelling, attributable to loss of SMARCB1, and that this hypothesis if proven could provide a biological rationale for testing epig...
متن کاملSmall molecule inhibitors of ceramidases.
The equilibrium between the pro-apoptotic ceramide and pro-vital sphingosine-1-phosphate is considered to be decisive for cell death or survival. The different ceramidases thus play key roles in cell fate and might offer attractive targets for pharmacological intervention. Although until recently only moderately active inhibitors have been described, first in vivo experiments suggest activity a...
