چکیده

Expression of the DMP1 transcription factor, a cyclin D-binding Myb-like protein, induces growth arrest in mouse embryo fibroblast strains but is devoid of antiproliferative activity in primary diploid fibroblasts that lack the ARF tumor suppressor gene. DMP1 binds to a single canonical recognition site in the ARF promoter to activate gene expression, and in turn, p19(ARF) synthesis causes p53-dependent cell cycle arrest. Unlike genes such as Myc, adenovirus E1A, and E2F-1, which, when overexpressed, activate the ARF-p53 pathway and trigger apoptosis, DMP1, like ARF itself, does not induce programmed cell death. Therefore, apart from its recently recognized role in protecting cells from potentially oncogenic signals, ARF can be induced in response to antiproliferative stimuli that do not obligatorily lead to apoptosis.

Molecular and Cellular Pathobiology Dmp1 Physically Interacts with p53 and Positively Regulates p53's Stability, Nuclear Localization, and Function

The transcription factor Dmp1 is a Ras/HER2-activated haplo-insufficient tumor suppressor that activates the Arf/p53 pathway of cell-cycle arrest. Recent evidence suggests that Dmp1may activate p53 independently of Arf in certain cell types. Here, we report findings supporting this concept with the definition of an Arf-independent function for Dmp1 in tumor suppression. We found that Dmp1 and p...

Hypergrowth mTORC1 signals translationally activate the ARF tumor suppressor checkpoint.

The ARF tumor suppressor is a potent sensor of hyperproliferative cues emanating from oncogenic signaling. ARF responds to these cues by eliciting a cell cycle arrest, effectively abating the tumorigenic potential of these stimuli. Prior reports have demonstrated that oncogenic Ras(V12) signaling induces ARF through a mechanism mediated by the Dmp1 transcription factor. However, we now show tha...

Signal Transduction Involving the Dmp1 Transcription Factor and its Alteration in Human Cancer

Dmp1 (cyclin D-interacting myb-like protein 1; also called Dmtf1) is a transcription factor that has been isolated in a yeast two-hybrid screen through its binding property to cyclin D2. Dmp1 directly binds to and activates the Arf promoter and induces Arf-p53-dependent cell cycle arrest in primary cells. D-type cyclins usually inhibit Dmp1-mediated transcription in a Cdk-independent fashion; h...

Emerging roles of DMP1 in lung cancer.

The Ras-activated transcription factor DMP1 can stimulate Arf transcription to promote p53-dependent cell arrest. One recent study deepens the pathophysiologic significance of this pathway in cancer, first, by identifying DMP1 losses in human lung cancers that lack ARF/p53 mutations, and second, by demonstrating that Dmp1 deletions in the mouse are sufficient to promote K-ras-induced lung tumor...
