JunB Mediates Basal- and TGFβ1-Induced Smooth Muscle Cell Contractility
Smooth muscle contraction is a dynamic process driven by acto-myosin interactions that are controlled by multiple regulatory proteins. Our studies have shown that members of the AP-1 transcription factor family control discrete behaviors of smooth muscle cells (SMC) such as growth, migration and fibrosis. However, the role of AP-1 in regulation of smooth muscle contractility is incompletely und...
متن کاملFailed Degradation of JunB Contributes to Overproduction of Type I Collagen and Development of Dermal Fibrosis in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis
OBJECTIVE The excessive deposition of extracellular matrix, including type I collagen, is a key aspect in the pathogenesis of connective tissue diseases such as systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma). To further our understanding of the mechanisms governing the dysregulation of type I collagen production in SSc, we investigated the role of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) family of transcription f...
متن کاملJunB inhibits proliferation and transformation in B-lymphoid cells.
The activator protein 1 (AP-1) member JunB has recently been implicated in leukemogenesis. Here we surveyed human lymphoma samples for expression of JunB and other AP-1 members (c-Jun, c-Fos, Fra1, JunD). JunB was strongly expressed in T-cell lymphomas, but non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas do not or only weakly express JunB. We therefore asked whether JunB acted as a negative regulator of B-cell de...
متن کاملRegulation of GSK3β-FBXW7-JUNB Axis
In the last decade the involvement of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) in human cancer has been demonstrated. AP-1 proteins can be oncogenic on their own in certain situations; however, the major contribution of AP-1 to tumorigenesis is as a downstream effect of oncoprotein signaling [1]. The AP-1 transcription factor is a homoor heterodimer combination of bZIP proteins belonging to the JUN, FOS,...
متن کاملTargeting Mcl-1 for multiple myeloma (MM) therapy: drug-induced generation of Mcl-1 fragment Mcl-1(128-350) triggers MM cell death via c-Jun upregulation.
Myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1, HGNC: 6943), a pro-survival member of the Bcl-2 family, plays a crucial role in Multiple Myeloma (MM) pathogenesis and drug resistance, thus representing a promising therapeutic target in MM. A novel strategy to inhibit Mcl-1 activity is the induction of ubiquitin-independent Mcl-1 degradation. Our own and other previous studies have demonstrated caspase-dependen...
