Mesothelial cell transformation requires increased AP-1 binding activity and ERK-dependent Fra-1 expression.

Abstract:

:Mesothelioma is a unique and insidious tumor associated historically with occupational exposure to asbestos. The transcription factor, activator protein-1 (AP-1) is a major target of asbestos-induced signaling pathways. Here, we demonstrate that asbestos-induced mesothelial cell transformation is linked to increases in AP-1 DNA binding complexes and the AP-1 component, Fra-1. AP-1 binding to DNA was increased dramatically in mesothelioma cell lines in comparison to isolated rat pleural mesothelial (RPM) cells. Elevated levels of AP-1 complexes, including significant increases in c-Jun, JunB and Fra-1, were found in asbestos-exposed RPM cells, but only Fra-1 expression was significantly increased and protracted in both asbestos-exposed RPM cells and mesothelioma cell lines. Asbestos-induced Fra-1 expression in RPM cells was dependent on stimulation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs 1/2). Inhibition of ERK phosphorylation or transfection with dominant-negative fra-1 constructs reversed the transformed phenotype of mesothelioma cells and anchorage-independent growth in soft agar. In summary, we demonstrate that ERK-dependent Fra-1 is elevated in AP-1 complexes in response to asbestos fibers and is critical to the transformation of mesothelial cells.

  • PTEN gene targeting reveals a radiation-induced size checkpoint in human cancer cells.

    abstract::Following DNA damage, human cells arrest primarily in the G(1) and G(2) phases of the cell cycle. Here, we show that after irradiation, human cancer cells with targeted deletion of PTEN or naturally occurring PTEN mutations can exert G(1) and G(2) arrests but are unable to arrest in size. Pharmacological inhibition of...
