RalB regulates contractility-driven cancer dissemination upon TGFβ stimulation via the RhoGEF GEF-H1
RalA and RalB proteins are key mediators of oncogenic Ras signaling in human oncogenesis. Herein we investigated the mechanistic contribution of Ral proteins to invasion of lung cancer A549 cells after induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) with TGFβ. We show that TGFβ-induced EMT promotes dissemination of A549 cells in a 2/3D assay, independently of proteolysis, by activating the...
متن کاملTension on JAM-A activates RhoA via GEF-H1 and p115 RhoGEF
Junctional adhesion molecule A (JAM-A) is a broadly expressed adhesion molecule that regulates cell-cell contacts and facilitates leukocyte transendothelial migration. The latter occurs through interactions with the integrin LFA-1. Although we understand much about JAM-A, little is known regarding the protein's role in mechanotransduction or as a modulator of RhoA signaling. We found that tensi...
متن کاملThe retinoblastoma protein is required for Ras-induced oncogenic transformation.
Most human cancers involve either mutational activation of the Ras oncogenic pathway and/or inactivation of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor (RB) pathway. Paradoxically, tumors that harbor Ras mutations almost invariably retain expression of a wild-type pRB protein. We explain this phenomenon by demonstrating that Ras-induced oncogenic transformation surprisingly depends on functional pRB pr...
متن کاملPhosphoproteomics Reveals MAPK Inhibitors Enhance MET- and EGFR-Driven AKT Signaling in KRAS-Mutant Lung Cancer.
Pathway inhibition of the RAS-driven MAPK pathway using small-molecule kinase inhibitors has been a key focus for treating cancers driven by oncogenic RAS, yet significant clinical responses are lacking. Feedback reactivation of ERK driven by drug-induced RAF activity has been suggested as one of the major drug resistance mechanisms, especially in the context of oncogenic RAS. To determine whet...
متن کاملKSR, a novel protein kinase required for RAS signal transduction
We have identified and characterized two genes in Drosophila whose products are required for activated RAS to signal with normal efficiency, but do not appear to effect signaling by activated RAF. One encodes the beta subunit of type I geranylgeranyl transferase, a prenylation enzyme essential for targeting RAS to the plasma membrane. The other encodes a protein kinase that we have named kinase...
