چکیده

We have previously shown that Fhit tumor suppressor protein interacts with Hsp60 chaperone machinery and ferredoxin reductase (Fdxr) protein. Fhit-effector interactions are associated with a Fhit-dependent increase in Fdxr stability, followed by generation of reactive oxygen species and apoptosis induction under conditions of oxidative stress. To define Fhit structural features that affect interactions, downstream signaling, and biological outcomes, we used cancer cells expressing Fhit mutants with amino acid substitutions that alter enzymatic activity, enzyme substrate binding, or phosphorylation at tyrosine 114. Gastric cancer cell clones stably expressing mutants that do not bind substrate or cannot be phosphorylated showed decreased binding to Hsp60 and Fdxr and reduced mitochondrial localization. Expression of Fhit or mutants that bind interactor proteins results in oxidative damage and accumulation of cells in G(2)/M or sub-G(1) fractions after peroxide treatment; noninteracting mutants are defective in these biological effects. Gastric cancer clones expressing noncomplexing Fhit mutants show reduction of Fhit tumor suppressor activity, confirming that substrate binding, interaction with heat shock proteins, mitochondrial localization, and interaction with Fdxr are important for Fhit tumor suppressor function.

N-Terminal Domain of Fragile Histidine Triad Exerts Potent Cytotoxic Effect in HT1080 Cells

Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) serves a critical function as a tumor suppressor that inhibits p53 degradation by mouse double minute 2 (MDM2). The functional domains of FHIT involved in tumor inhibition was interpreted. In-silico screening data were employed to construct truncated forms of FHIT to assess their cytotoxic effects on the HT1080 cell line. Full FHIT expression was confirmed by west...

Fragile histidine triad protein expression in nonsmall cell lung cancer and correlation with Ki-67 and with p53.

Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) is a tumour suppressor gene, which is altered in a variety of epithelial tumours, including lung cancer. Biochemical and functional pathways of its tumourigenicity are not yet understood. Its role in tumour proliferation is particularly controversial. The purpose of this study was to correlate the expression of FHIT protein in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) wit...

Clinicopathological significance of fragile histidine triad transcription protein expression in endometrial carcinomas.

Abnormalities in structure and expression of the fragile histidine triad transcription (FHIT) gene have been reported in a variety of cancers, including endometrial cancers. A good correlation between FHIT gene alteration and loss of Fhit expression was observed in endometrial cancers, although those are the selected cases. Therefore, we investigated the association of Fhit expression with clin...
