Plk4 haploinsufficiency causes mitotic infidelity and carcinogenesis
Nature Genetics, 2005The polo-like kinase Plk4 (also called Sak) is required for late mitotic progression, cell survival and postgastrulation embryonic development. Here we identified a phenotype resulting from Plk4 haploinsufficiency in Plk4 heterozygous cells and mice. Plk4+/- embryonic fibroblasts had increased centrosomal amplification, multipolar spindle formation and

TEC kinase stabilizes PLK4 to promote liver cancer metastasis
Cancer Letters, 2022Aberrated PLK4 expression has been reported in different malignancies and causes centrosome amplification, aneuploidy, and genomic instability. However, the mechanism by which PLK4 is regulated in carcinogenesis remains not fully characterised. Here, we showed that PLK4 was overexpressed in human HCC and overexpression of PLK4 predicted poorer patient ...

PLK4: a promising target for cancer therapy
Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology, 2019Polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that regulates centriole duplication. PLK4 deregulation causes centrosome number abnormalities, mitotic defects, chromosomal instability and, consequently, tumorigenesis. Therefore, PLK4 has emerged as a therapeutic target for the treatment of multiple cancers.

The Polo kinase Plk4 functions in centriole duplication
Nature Cell Biology, 2005The human Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) and its functional homologues that are present in other eukaryotes have multiple, crucial roles in meiotic and mitotic cell division. By contrast, the functions of other mammalian Polo family members remain largely unknown.

PLK4: a link between centriole biogenesis and cancer
Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Targets, 2017Polo like kinase (PLK) is known to play a pivotal role in various cell cycle processes to perpetuate proper division and growth of the cells. Polo like kinase-4 (PLK4) is one such kinase that appears in low abundance and plays a well-characterized role in centriole duplication. PLK4 deregulation (i.e.

Mechanisms of Plk4 haploinsufficiency in hepatocellular carcinogenesis
Journal of Clinical Oncology, 200911100 Background: The pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is multifactorial and includes genetic predisposition, though the precise nature of the latter is as yet poorly understood. Mice heterozygous for the polo like kinase Plk4 develop spontaneous HCC and human HCC cases show a high rate of LOH (loss of heterozygosity) at the Plk4 locus.

The transcription factor Hand1 is required for cell-fate determination during placental development. Recent work shows that release of Hand1 from the nucleolus controls differentiation of trophoblast stem cells into trophoblast giant cells, and this switch is controlled by the antagonistic activities of HICp40 and Polo-like kinase-4 (Plk4).

Transient PLK4 overexpression accelerates tumorigenesis in p53-deficient epidermis
Nature Cell Biology, 2015Aneuploidy is found in most solid tumours, but it remains unclear whether it is the cause or the consequence of tumorigenesis. Using Plk4 overexpression (PLK4OE) during epidermal development, we assess the impact of centrosome amplification and aneuploidy on skin development and tumorigenesis.
