RACK1 promotes lung cancer cell growth via an MCM7/RACK1/Akt signaling complex

چکیده
MCM7, a member of the miniature chromosome maintenance (MCM) protein family, is crucial for the initiation of DNA replication and proliferation in eukaryotic cells. In this report, we demonstrate that RACK1 regulates cell growth and cell cycle progression in human non-small-cell lung cancer by mediating MCM7 phosphorylation through an MCM7/RACK1/Akt signaling complex. RACK1 functions as a central scaffold that brings Akt into physical proximity with MCM7. Overexpression of RACK1 increases interactions between Akt and MCM7 and promotes Akt-dependent MCM7 phosphorylation, which in turn increases MCM7 binding to chromatin and MCM complex formation. Together, these changes promote DNA replication and cell proliferation. Our findings reveal a novel signaling pathway that regulates growth in non-small cell lung cancer.

Receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) promotes the progression of OSCC via the AKT/mTOR pathway.
Our previous study suggested that receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) contribute to the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The aim of this study is to elucidate the mechanism by which RACK1 regulates cell growth in OSCC using in vitro and in vivo models. The effects of RACK1 knockdown with lentivirus based shRNA in stable cell lines were evaluated by Q-PCR and western blo...
متن کاملForced downregulation of RACK1 inhibits glioma development by suppressing Src/Akt signaling activity.
Glioma is the most common primary brain malignant tumor. Receptor for activated C-kinase 1 (RACK1) is widely expressed in the central nervous system, and regulates multiple cellular processes including cell survival, proliferation, migration and metastasis. However, the role of RACK1 in glioma has never been revealed. The present study, for the first time, showed that RACK1 expression was signi...
متن کاملRACK1 promotes non-small-cell lung cancer tumorigenicity through activating sonic hedgehog signaling pathway.
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a deadly disease due to lack of effective diagnosis biomarker and therapeutic target. Much effort has been made in defining gene defects in NSCLC, but its full molecular pathogenesis remains unexplored. Here, we found RACK1 (receptor of activated kinase 1) was elevated in most NSCLC, and its expression level correlated with key pathological characteristics ...
متن کاملThe PTPmu protein-tyrosine phosphatase binds and recruits the scaffolding protein RACK1 to cell-cell contacts.
PTPmu, an Ig superfamily receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase, promotes cell-cell adhesion and interacts with the cadherin-catenin complex. The signaling pathway downstream of PTPmu is unknown; therefore, we used a yeast two-hybrid screen to identify additional PTPmu interacting proteins. The membrane-proximal catalytic domain of PTPmu was used as bait. Sequencing of two positive clones identi...

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is vital to physiological as well as pathological angiogenesis, and regulates a variety of cellular functions, largely by activating its 2 receptors, fms-like tyrosine kinase (Flt1) and kinase domain receptor (KDR). KDR plays a critical role in the proliferation of endothelial cells by controlling VEGF-induced phospholipase Cγ-protein kinase C (PLCγ-PKC...
