    Description: AKT signaling promotes cell growth and survival and is often dysregulated via multiple mechanisms in different types of cancer, including uterine leiomyomas (ULMs). ULMs are highly prevalent fibrotic tumors that arise from the smooth muscular layer of the uterus, the myometrium (MM). ULMs pose a major public health issue because they can cause severe morbidity and poor pregnancy outcomes. We investigate the mechanisms driving ULM growth and survival via aberrant activation of AKT. We demonstrate that an acetylation-mediated impairment of the manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) activity is prevalent in ULM cells compared to the normal-matched MM from the same patients. This impairment increases the levels of superoxide and oxidative stress, which activate AKT via oxidative inactivation of the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN). Redox activation of AKT promotes ULM cell survival under conditions of moderate but persistent oxidative stress that are compatible with ULM’s prooxidative microenvironment. Moreover, because of impaired MnSOD activity, ULM cells are sensitive to high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and superoxide-generating compounds, resulting in decreased ULM cell viability. On the contrary, MM cells with functional MnSOD are more resistant to high levels of oxidants. This study demonstrates a causative role of acetylation-mediated MnSOD dysfunction in activating prosurvival AKT signaling in ULMs. The specific AKT and redox states of ULM cells provide a potential novel therapeutic rationale to selectively target ULM cells because of their defective ROS-scavenging system.

    Description: Aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) and the enzymes that control their processing have been reported in multiple biological processes including primary and metastatic tumours, but the mechanisms governing this are not clearly understood. Here we show that TAp63, a p53 family member, suppresses tumorigenesis and metastasis, and coordinately regulates Dicer and miR-130b to suppress metastasis. Metastatic mouse and human tumours deficient in TAp63 express Dicer at very low levels, and we found that modulation of expression of Dicer and miR-130b markedly affected the metastatic potential of cells lacking TAp63. TAp63 binds to and transactivates the Dicer promoter, demonstrating direct transcriptional regulation of Dicer by TAp63. These data provide a novel understanding of the roles of TAp63 in tumour and metastasis suppression through the coordinate transcriptional regulation of Dicer and miR-130b and may have implications for the many processes regulated by miRNAs.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3055799/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3055799/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Su, Xiaohua -- Chakravarti, Deepavali -- Cho, Min Soon -- Liu, Lingzhi -- Gi, Young Jin -- Lin, Yu-Li -- Leung, Marco L -- El-Naggar, Adel -- Creighton, Chad J -- Suraokar, Milind B -- Wistuba, Ignacio -- Flores, Elsa R -- 01DE019765/DE/NIDCR NIH HHS/ -- CA16672/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA016672-27/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50 CA070907/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50 CA070907-10/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50 CA091846/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50 CA091846-10/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50CA070907/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50CA091846/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U01 DE019765/DE/NIDCR NIH HHS/ -- U01 DE019765-03/DE/NIDCR NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Oct 21;467(7318):986-90. doi: 10.1038/nature09459.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular and Cellular Oncology, The University of Texas M.

    Description: TP53 is commonly altered in human cancer, and Tp53 reactivation suppresses tumours in vivo in mice (TP53 and Tp53 are also known as p53). This strategy has proven difficult to implement therapeutically, and here we examine an alternative strategy by manipulating the p53 family members, Tp63 and Tp73 (also known as p63 and p73, respectively). The acidic transactivation-domain-bearing (TA) isoforms of p63 and p73 structurally and functionally resemble p53, whereas the DeltaN isoforms (lacking the acidic transactivation domain) of p63 and p73 are frequently overexpressed in cancer and act primarily in a dominant-negative fashion against p53, TAp63 and TAp73 to inhibit their tumour-suppressive functions. The p53 family interacts extensively in cellular processes that promote tumour suppression, such as apoptosis and autophagy, thus a clear understanding of this interplay in cancer is needed to treat tumours with alterations in the p53 pathway. Here we show that deletion of the DeltaN isoforms of p63 or p73 leads to metabolic reprogramming and regression of p53-deficient tumours through upregulation of IAPP, the gene that encodes amylin, a 37-amino-acid peptide co-secreted with insulin by the beta cells of the pancreas. We found that IAPP is causally involved in this tumour regression and that amylin functions through the calcitonin receptor (CalcR) and receptor activity modifying protein 3 (RAMP3) to inhibit glycolysis and induce reactive oxygen species and apoptosis. Pramlintide, a synthetic analogue of amylin that is currently used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes, caused rapid tumour regression in p53-deficient thymic lymphomas, representing a novel strategy to target p53-deficient cancers.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4312210/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4312210/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Venkatanarayan, Avinashnarayan -- Raulji, Payal -- Norton, William -- Chakravarti, Deepavali -- Coarfa, Cristian -- Su, Xiaohua -- Sandur, Santosh K -- Ramirez, Marc S -- Lee, Jaehuk -- Kingsley, Charles V -- Sananikone, Eliot F -- Rajapakshe, Kimal -- Naff, Katherine -- Parker-Thornburg, Jan -- Bankson, James A -- Tsai, Kenneth Y -- Gunaratne, Preethi H -- Flores, Elsa R -- CA-16672/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P30 CA016672/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50CA136411/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA134796/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA160394/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA134796/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01CA160394/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2015 Jan 29;517(7536):626-30. doi: 10.1038/nature13910.
