Abstract:
:Loss of chromosome 19p is one of the most frequent allelic imbalances in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), suggesting the existence of one or more tumor suppressor genes within this region. In this study, we investigated a role in ESCCs for a candidate tumor suppressor gene located at 19p13.3, the Ras-like small GTPase DIRAS1. Downregulation of DIRAS1 occurred in approximately 50% of primary ESCCs where it was associated significantly with advanced clinical stage, lymph node metastasis, and poor overall survival. LOH and promoter methylation analyses suggested that loss of DIRAS1 expression was mediated by epigenetic mechanisms. Functional studies established that ectopic re-expression of DIRAS1 in ESCC cells inhibited cell proliferation, clonogenicity, cell motility, and tumor formation. Mechanistic investigations suggested that DIRAS1 acted through extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2; MAPK3/1) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK; MAPK14) signaling to trigger BAD Ser112 dephosphorylation and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2/9 transcriptional inactivation to promote apoptosis and inhibit metastasis, respectively. Taken together, our results revealed that DIRAS1 has a pivotal function in ESCC pathogenesis, with possible use as a biomarker and intervention point for new therapeutic strategies.

CANCER RESEARCH文献大全abstract::Lymphocytes can be stimulated to proliferate in vitro by mitogens such as concanavalin A. The tumor-promoting phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) can enhance this proliferation, partly because of an increase in interleukin 2 (IL-2) production. However, if lymphocytes are treated with TPA for 24 h...
