12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is anti-tumorigenic in liver cancer cells via inhibiting YAP through AMOT

چکیده
TPA stimulates carcinogenesis in various types of cancers. However, we found that TPA inhibits transformative phenotypes in liver cancer cells via the translocation of YAP from the nucleus, where it functions as a transcriptional co-factor, to the cytoplasm. Such effects led to a separation of YAP from its dependent transcription factors. The inhibitory effects of TPA on YAP were AMOT dependent. Without AMOT, TPA was unable to alter YAP activity. Importantly, the depletion of YAP and AMOT blocked the TPA-reduced transformative phenotypes. In sum, TPA has been established as an anti-tumorigenic drug in liver cancer cells via YAP and AMOT.

Vanillin inhibits matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression through down-regulation of nuclear factor-kappaB signaling pathway in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells.
Vanillin has been reported to exhibit anti-invasive and antimetastatic activities by suppressing the enzymatic activity of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). However, the underlying mechanism of anti-invasive activity remains unclear so far. Herein we demonstrate that vanillin reduced 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced MMP-9 gelatinolytic activity and suppressed cell invasion t...

Normal human melanocytes, which require the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) for growth in culture, were transfected with a SV40 T-antigen-containing plasmid by using the technique of electroporation, and were scored for colonies of morphologically altered cells. The frequency of transformed colonies was higher when selection was done in the absence rather than the prese...
متن کاملResponses of synchronized HeLa cells to the tumor-promoting phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate as evaluated by flow cytometry.
A flow cytometric study was carried out on the effects of tumor-promoting 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA; 10(-8) M) on HeLa cells synchronized by amethopterin for DNA synthesis. Cells treated with TPA at the time of release from the amethopterin block showed a delayed passage through S phase and partially through G2 in their immediate life span as measured 24 hr after release. This l...
متن کامل12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-1,3-acetate-induced degradation of protein kinase B via ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway depends on its Ser473 phosphorylation in gastric cancer cells.
TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-1, 3-acetate) can induce cell apoptosis and cause PKB (protein kinase B) degradation correlated with its phosphorylation in gastric cancer cells. We investigated whether the ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway is involved in TPA-induced PKB degradation. The results showed that TPA could induce PKB ubiquitination by inhibiting its phosphorylation at the serine 473 site. ...

Tritiated 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) was applied to adult mouse skin; at specified time intervals the mice were killed, and the labeled phorbol was extracted and subjected to separation and quantitation by high-pressure liquid chromatography. After 24 hr, TPA comprised greater than 96% of the recovered label from the skin, and its apparent half-life was 17.8 hr. Pretreatment of ...
