PP2A: A Promising Biomarker and Therapeutic Target in Endometrial Cancer
Over the last decade, the use of targeted therapies has immensely increased in the treatment of cancer. However, treatment for endometrial carcinomas (ECs) has lagged behind, although potential molecular markers have been identified. This is particularly

Identification of Candidate Casein Kinase 2 Substrates in Mitosis by Quantitative Phosphoproteomics
Protein phosphorylation is a crucial regulatory mechanism that controls many aspects of cellular signaling. Casein kinase 2 (CK2), a constitutively expressed and active kinase, plays key roles in an array of cellular events including transcription and ...

Glucose deprivation activates a metabolic and signaling amplification loop leading to cell death. [PDF]
The altered metabolism of cancer can render cells dependent on the availability of metabolic substrates for viability. Investigating the signaling mechanisms underlying cell death in cells dependent upon glucose for survival, we demonstrate that glucose ...

CIP2A mediates fibronectin-induced bladder cancer cell proliferation by stabilizing β-catenin
Background Fibronectin (FN) is associated with tumorigenesis and progression in bladder cancer, however, the underlying mechanisms causing this remain largely unknown.

Induced cancer stem-like cells as a model for biological screening and discovery of agents targeting phenotypic traits of cancer stem cell [PDF]
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) retain the capacity to propagate themselves through self-renewal and to produce heterogeneous lineages of cancer cells constituting the tumor.

Inhibitors of phosphoprotein phosphatases 1 and 2A cause activation of a 53 kDa protein kinase accompanying the apoptotic response of breast cancer cells [PDF]
Treatment of MCF‐7 breast cancer cells with 50 nM okadaic acid triggers an apoptotic response which is accompanied by a 7‐fold increase in the activity of a protein kinase with a relative molecular mass of 53 kDa. The activity of the kinase was stimulated by cell treatment with inhibitors of phosphoprotein phosphatase 1 and 2A, but not by stressing ...

The protein phosphatase 4 - PEA15 axis regulates the survival of breast cancer cells [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The control of breast cell survival is of critical importance for preventing breast cancer initiation and progression. The activity of many proteins which regulate cell survival is controlled by reversible phosphorylation, so that the ...

The concept of the okadaic acid class of tumor promoters is revived in endogenous protein inhibitors of protein phosphatase 2A, SET and CIP2A, in human cancers [PDF]
The okadaic acid class of tumor promoters, which are inhibitors of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A (PP1 and PP2A), induced tumor promotion in mouse skin, rat glandular stomach, and rat liver. Endogenous protein inhibitors of PP2A, SET and CIP2A, were up-regulated in various human cancers, so it is vital to review the essential mechanisms of tumor ...
