Deregulated PP1α phosphatase activity towards MAPK activation is antagonized by a tumor suppressive failsafe mechanism

Abstract: The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is frequently aberrantly activated in advanced cancers, including metastatic prostate cancer (CaP). However, activating mutations or gene rearrangements among MAPK signaling components, such as Ras and Raf, are not always observed in cancers with hyperactivated MAPK. The mechanisms underlying MAPK activation in these cancers remain largely elusive. Here we discover that genomic amplification of the PPP1CA gene is highly enriched in metastatic human CaP. We fu… Show more

“…RAF kinases are the important upstream MAPK activators (Chen et al, ) and are known as RAS effectors (Ambrogio et al, ). RAF gene encodes ARAF , BRAF, and CRAF (or RAF1 ) (Sanclemente et al, ), and its activation in cancer cells requires RAF dimerization that is possibly assisted by RAS dimerization (Ambrogio et al, ).…”

“…Acquiring activating mutations and dephosphorylation of RAF inhibitory sites mediated by phosphatases like protein phosphatase 1α (PP1α) are responsible for reactivation of this kinase (Chen et al, ). BRAF mutations in metastatic cancers confer worse prognosis leading to an increase in the rate of mortality relative to the wild‐type BRAF.…”

“…Phospho-AKT then activates different substrates, such as the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) 40 , which is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates cell growth, survival, and proliferation. More recently, it was shown that the simultaneous activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and PI3K/AKT pathways occurs in co-deleted PTEN and promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) human metastatic prostate cancer 41 .…”
