Tumor suppressors: Linking cell polarity and growth control
The Drosophila tumor suppressor genes scribble, discs large and lethal giant larvae appear to act in a common pathway. Mutations in any of these genes lead to loss of apical-basal cell polarity and overproliferation of epithelia, revealing a close connection between cytoarchitecture and growth control.
متن کاملCooperative regulation of cell polarity and growth by Drosophila tumor suppressors.
Loss of cell polarity and tissue architecture are characteristics of malignant cancers derived from epithelial tissues. We provide evidence from Drosophila that a group of membrane-associated proteins act in concert to regulate both epithelial structure and cell proliferation. Scribble (Scrib) is a cell junction-localized protein required for polarization of embryonic and, as demonstrated here,...
متن کاملTumor suppressors and cell metabolism: a recipe for cancer growth.
Growing tumors face two major metabolic challenges-how to meet the bioenergetic and biosynthetic demands of increased cell proliferation, and how to survive environmental fluctuations in external nutrient and oxygen availability when tumor growth outpaces the delivery capabilities of the existing vasculature. Cancer cells display dramatically altered metabolic circuitry that appears to directly...
متن کاملNovel Bladder Tumor Growth Suppressors
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of human bladder cancer has revealedmany gene alterations compared with normal tissue, with most being predicted to be "loss of function." However, given the high number of alterations, evaluating the functional impact of each is impractical. Here, we develop and use a highthroughput, in vivo strategy to determinewhich alterations are loss of function in tumor g...
متن کاملEpithelial polarity and proliferation control: links from the Drosophila neoplastic tumor suppressors.
Mammalian epithelial tumors lose polarity as they progress toward malignancy, but whether polarity loss might causally contribute to cancer has remained unclear. In Drosophila, mutations in the "neoplastic tumor suppressor genes" (nTSGs) scribble, discs-large, and lethal giant larvae disrupt polarity of epithelia and neuroblasts, and simultaneously induce extensive overproliferation of these ce...
