P53 Inhibits α6β4 Integrin Survival Signaling by Promoting the Caspase 3–Dependent Cleavage of Akt/PKB

Abstract: Although the interaction of matrix proteins with integrins is known to initiate signaling pathways that are essential for cell survival, a role for tumor suppressors in the regulation of these pathways has not been established. We demonstrate here that p53 can inhibit the survival function of integrins by inducing the caspase-dependent cleavage and inactivation of the serine/threonine kinase AKT/PKB. Specifically, we show that the α6β4 integrin promotes the survival of p53-deficient carcinoma cells by activati… Show more

“…This effect of integrin α6β4 on apoptosis is linked to the p53 status of the cell. In cells expressing wildtype p53, such as LoVo cells [58], integrin α6β4 stimulates p53-dependent caspase-3 activity, resulting in the cleavage and inactivation of Akt [59,60] and a loss of the pro-survival effects. However, we report that there is no significant difference in total Akt levels between cells with elevated integrin α6β4 levels (PTHrP-overexpressing cells) vs. parental LoVo cells, with lower integrin α6β4 levels.…”

“…Loss of survival signalling can augment p53-mediated apoptosis (Gottlieb et al, 1994;Abrahamson et al, 1995;Canman et al, 1995;Lin and Benchimol, 1995;Prisco et al, 1997), and the ability of p53 to negatively regulate the IGF pathway (Buckbinder et al, 1995) and inhibit intergrin-associated survival signalling may further sensitize cells to p53-induced death (Bachelder et al, 1999). The NF-κB transcription factor has lately been shown to play an important role in p53-mediated apoptosis (Ryan et al, 2000), in contrast to the anti-apoptotic effect of NF-κB induced in response to TNF (Van Antwerp et al, 1996;Phillips et al, 1999).…”

“…21,22 Thus, we evaluated whether ERK2 can be a caspase-3 target by an in vitro cleavage assay. As shown in Figure 4f, recombinant caspase-3 can cleave an in vitrotranslated ERK2 protein and yield a major product of approximately 39 kDa.…”

“…The hurdle in detecting cleavage products in vivo is not unusual even during apoptosis. 22,32 Indeed, the appearance of proteolytic products is mainly correlated with the production of active and stable enzymes from pro-enzymes (e.g., caspase cascade activation). Instead, our data show that the ERK2 cleavage has an inhibitory effect on its activity, supporting the existence of a subsequent rapid degradation mechanism of the 39 kDa polypeptide.…”
