Somatic LKB1 Mutations Promote Cervical Cancer Progression
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the etiologic agent for cervical cancer. Yet, infection with HPV is not sufficient to cause cervical cancer, because most infected women develop transient epithelial dysplasias that spontaneously regress. Progression to invasive cancer has been attributed to diverse host factors such as immune or hormonal status, as no recurrent genetic alterations have been ident...
متن کاملLKB1/STK11 inactivation leads to expansion of a prometastatic tumor subpopulation in melanoma.
Germline mutations in LKB1 (STK11) are associated with the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), which includes aberrant mucocutaneous pigmentation, and somatic LKB1 mutations occur in 10% of cutaneous melanoma. By somatically inactivating Lkb1 with K-Ras activation (±p53 loss) in murine melanocytes, we observed variably pigmented and highly metastatic melanoma with 100% penetrance. LKB1 deficiency res...
متن کاملAnalysis of Stk11/lkb1 Gene Using Bioinformatics Tools
Aim: The STK11 gene, also known as LKB1, encodes for a serine/threonine kinase with growth-suppressing activity, such as inhibition of cell cycle progression, cell growth retardation, apoptotic cell death, and cell polarity control. This study aimed to investigate some properties of the STK11 gene and its product, such as the homologous protein sequences in different species, the common transcr...
متن کاملAMPK potentiation by LKB1 isoforms
Cells must finely tune their metabolic pathways to face variations of nutrient fluxes. This dynamic maintenance of homeostasis is a fundamental requisite constraining all cellular processes. The serine/threonine kinase LKB1 is a hub of a molecular network monitoring the cellular energy charge via the phosphorylation and activation of the AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) [1]. In conditions of metabol...
متن کاملTumor-derived osteopontin reprograms normal mammary fibroblasts to promote inflammation and tumor growth in breast cancer.
Breast tumors are characterized by an extensive desmoplastic stroma, abundantly populated by fibroblasts. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) support tumorigenesis by stimulating angiogenesis, cancer cell proliferation, and invasion. CAF also orchestrate tumor-promoting inflammation in multiple tumor types, including breast cancer. However, the mechanisms through which normal tissue fibroblasts...
