Proteinase inhibitors I and II from potatoes specifically block UV-induced activator protein-1 activation through a pathway that is independent of extracellular signal-regulated kinases, c-Jun N-terminal kinases, and P38 kinase.
Solar UV irradiation is the causal factor for the increasing incidence of human skin carcinomas. The activation of the transcription factor activator protein-1 (AP-1) has been shown to be responsible for the tumor promoter action of UV light in mammalian cells. We demonstrate that proteinase inhibitor I (Inh I) and II (Inh II) from potato tubers, when applied to mouse epidermal JB6 cells, block...
متن کاملChanging Roles of Matrix Metalloproteases and Their Inhibitors, TIMPs, During Tumor Progression and Angiogenesis
Inhibition of matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) has been shown in vivo to decrease metastasis and tumor-associated angiogenesis. Our laboratory is interested in understanding the role of these proteins at the pericellular microenvironment of tumor and endothelial cells. Secretion of MMPs by tumor cells enables the migration, invasion and metasta...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms involved in chemoprevention of black raspberry extracts: from transcription factors to their target genes.
Berries have attracted attention for their chemopreventive activities in last a few years. Dietary freeze-dried blackberries have been shown to reduce esophagus and colon cancer development induced by chemical carcinogen in rodents. To elucidate molecular mechanisms involved in chemoprevention by berry extracts, we employed mouse epidermal Cl 41 cell line, a well-characterized in vitro model in...
متن کاملA dominant negative c-jun specifically blocks okadaic acid-induced skin tumor promotion.
Okadaic acid (OA) is a prototypical non-phorbol ester skin tumor-promoting agent that works by inhibiting protein phosphatases, leading to an increase in protein phosphorylation. Increased protein phosphorylation can lead to stimulated signaling through various signal transduction pathways. One or more of the pathways affected by OA leads to increased signaling via the activator protein 1 (AP-1...
متن کاملNickel Compounds Act through Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt-Dependent, p70-Independent Pathway to Induce Hypoxia Inducible Factor Transactivation and Cap43 Expression in Mouse Epidermal Cl41 Cells
Nickel compounds are a somewhat unique class of carcinogens. Previous studies have demonstrated that NiCl2 exposure leads to marked induction of hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) in human osteosarcoma and BALB/c 3T3 cells, a transcription factor that has been considered to play an important role in tumor promotion and progression. However, the signal transduction pathways leading to HIF-1 indu...
