Beschreibung:
Tyrosine phosphorylation, regulated by protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and kinases (PTKs), is important in signaling pathways underlying tumorigenesis. A mutational analysis of the tyrosine phosphatase gene superfamily in human cancers identified 83 somatic mutations in six PTPs (PTPRF, PTPRG, PTPRT, PTPN3, PTPN13, PTPN14), affecting 26% of colorectal cancers and a smaller fraction of lung, breast, and gastric cancers. Fifteen mutations were nonsense, frameshift, or splice-site alterations predicted to result in truncated proteins lacking phosphatase activity. Five missense mutations in the most commonly altered PTP (PTPRT) were biochemically examined and found to reduce phosphatase activity. Expression of wild-type but not a mutant PTPRT in human cancer cells inhibited cell growth. These observations suggest that the mutated tyrosine phosphatases are tumor suppressor genes, regulating cellular pathways that may be amenable to therapeutic intervention.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Wang, Zhenghe -- Shen, Dong -- Parsons, D Williams -- Bardelli, Alberto -- Sager, Jason -- Szabo, Steve -- Ptak, Janine -- Silliman, Natalie -- Peters, Brock A -- van der Heijden, Michiel S -- Parmigiani, Giovanni -- Yan, Hai -- Wang, Tian-Li -- Riggins, Greg -- Powell, Steven M -- Willson, James K V -- Markowitz, Sanford -- Kinzler, Kenneth W -- Vogelstein, Bert -- Velculescu, Victor E -- CA 43460/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 57345/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 62924/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 May 21;304(5674):1164-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Johns Hopkins University Medical Institutions, Baltimore, MD 21231, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15155950" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
