IMPlicating Mesenchymal Imp1 in Colitis-Associated Cancer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chronic inflammation and associated pathways are significant facilitators of many disease states, including malignancies. In the context of cancer, fibroblasts can actively regulate both inflammation and carcinogenesis. In this issue, Hamilton and colleagues describe a fibroblast-specific role of the RNA binding protein Imp1 in suppression of intestinal inflammatory responses and development of colitis-associated cancer.

Loss of Stromal IMP1 Promotes a Tumorigenic Microenvironment in the Colon.
UNLABELLED The colon tumor microenvironment is becoming increasingly recognized as a complex but central player in the development of many cancers. Previously, we identified an oncogenic role for the mRNA-binding protein IMP1 (IGF2BP1) in the epithelium during colon tumorigenesis. In the current study, we reveal the contribution of stromal IMP1 in the context of colitis-associated colon tumorig...

متن کاملIKKβ in intestinal mesenchymal cells promotes initiation of colitis-associated cancer
The importance of mesenchymal cells in inflammation and/or neoplastic transformation is well recognized, but their role in the initiation of these processes, particularly in the intestine, remains elusive. Using mouse models of colorectal cancer, we show that IKKβ in intestinal mesenchymal cells (IMCs) is critically involved in colitis-associated, but not spontaneous tumorigenesis. We further d...
متن کاملA Novel IMP1 Inhibitor, BTYNB, Targets c-Myc and Inhibits Melanoma and Ovarian Cancer Cell Proliferation
The oncofetal mRNA-binding protein, IMP1 or insulin-like growth factor-2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP1), binds to and stabilizes c-Myc, β-TrCP1, and other oncogenic mRNAs, leading to increased expression of the proteins encoded by its target mRNAs. IMP1 is frequently overexpressed in cancer and is strongly correlated with a poor prognosis and reduced survival in melanoma, ovarian, breast, col...
متن کاملIMP1, an mRNA binding protein that reduces the metastatic potential of breast cancer in a mouse model
Cells that are able to localize β-actin mRNA efficiently have decreased metastatic potential. Invasive carcinoma cells derived from primary mammary tumors have reduced levels of an RNA binding protein IMP1/ZBP1/IGF2BP1, required for β-actin mRNA localization. We showed previously that in human breast carcinoma cells in vitro, this protein suppresses invasion. In this work we examined whether it...
