Recently, a series of investigations of DUSPs defined their essential roles in cell proliferation, cancer and the immune response. This review will focus on DUSP2, its involvement in different diseases and its potential as a therapeutic target.

    Deciphering the Functions of Ets2, Pten and p53 in Stromal Fibroblasts in Multiple Breast Cancer Models DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Julie Wallace Graduate Program in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Michael C. Ostrowski, PhD, Advisor Gustavo Leone, PhD Denis Guttridge, PhD Dawn Chandler, PhD Copyright by Julie Wallace 2013 Abstract Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in American women, and is also the second leading cause of cancer death in women. It is estimated that nearly a quarter of a million new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the United States this year, and approximately 40,000 of these women will die from breast cancer. Although death rates have been on the decline for the past decade, there is still much we need to learn about this disease to improve prevention, detection and treatment strategies. The majority of early studies have focused on the malignant tumor cells themselves, and much has been learned concerning mutations, amplifications and other genetic and epigenetic alterations of these cells. However more recent work has acknowledged the strong influence of tumor stroma on the initiation, progression and recurrence of cancer. Under normal conditions this stroma has been shown to have protective effects against tumorigenesis, however the transformation of tumor cells manipulates this surrounding environment to actually promote malignancy. Fibroblasts in particular make up a significant portion of this stroma, and have been shown to impact various aspects of tumor cell biology.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

  • DUSP10 Regulates Intestinal Epithelial Cell Growth and Colorectal Tumorigenesis
    Oncogene (2016) 35, 206–217 © 2016 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/16 www.nature.com/onc ORIGINAL ARTICLE DUSP10 regulates intestinal epithelial cell growth and colorectal tumorigenesis CW Png1,2, M Weerasooriya1,2, J Guo3, SJ James1,2,HMPoh1,2, M Osato3, RA Flavell4, C Dong5, H Yang3 and Y Zhang1,2 Dual specificity phosphatase 10 (DUSP10), also known as MAP kinase phosphatase 5 (MKP5), negatively regulates the activation of MAP kinases. Genetic polymorphisms and aberrant expression of this gene are associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) in humans. However, the role of DUSP10 in intestinal epithelial tumorigenesis is not clear. Here, we showed that DUSP10 knockout (KO) mice had increased intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) proliferation and migration and developed less severe colitis than wild-type (WT) mice in response to dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) treatment, which is associated with increased ERK1/2 activation and Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) expression in IEC. In line with increased IEC proliferation, DUSP10 KO mice developed more colon tumours with increased severity compared with WT mice in response to administration of DSS and azoxymethane (AOM). Furthermore, survival analysis of CRC patients demonstrated that high DUSP10 expression in tumours was associated with significant improvement in survival probability. Overexpression of DUSP10 in Caco-2 and RCM-1 cells inhibited cell proliferation. Our study showed that DUSP10 negatively regulates IEC growth and acts as a suppressor for CRC. Therefore, it could be targeted for the development of therapies for colitis and CRC. Oncogene (2016) 35, 206–217; doi:10.1038/onc.2015.74; published online 16 March 2015 INTRODUCTION development.

Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. Background MAP kinases are inactivated by dual-specificity protein phosphatases (DUSPs) that differ in their substrate specificity, tissue distribution, inducibility by extracellular stimuli, and cellular localization. DUSPs, also known as MAPK phosphatases (MKP), specifically dephosphorylate both threonine and tyrosine residues in MAPK P-loops and have been shown to play important roles in regulating the function of the MAPK family (1,2).

  • The Regulatory Roles of Phosphatases in Cancer
    Oncogene (2014) 33, 939–953 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/14 www.nature.com/onc REVIEW The regulatory roles of phosphatases in cancer J Stebbing1, LC Lit1, H Zhang, RS Darrington, O Melaiu, B Rudraraju and G Giamas The relevance of potentially reversible post-translational modifications required for controlling cellular processes in cancer is one of the most thriving arenas of cellular and molecular biology. Any alteration in the balanced equilibrium between kinases and phosphatases may result in development and progression of various diseases, including different types of cancer, though phosphatases are relatively under-studied. Loss of phosphatases such as PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10), a known tumour suppressor, across tumour types lends credence to the development of phosphatidylinositol 3--kinase inhibitors alongside the use of phosphatase expression as a biomarker, though phase 3 trial data are lacking. In this review, we give an updated report on phosphatase dysregulation linked to organ-specific malignancies.

  • Curcumin Alters Gene Expression-Associated DNA Damage, Cell Cycle, Cell Survival and Cell Migration and Invasion in NCI-H460 Human Lung Cancer Cells in Vitro
    ONCOLOGY REPORTS 34: 1853-1874, 2015 Curcumin alters gene expression-associated DNA damage, cell cycle, cell survival and cell migration and invasion in NCI-H460 human lung cancer cells in vitro I-TSANG CHIANG1,2, WEI-SHU WANG3, HSIN-CHUNG LIU4, SU-TSO YANG5, NOU-YING TANG6 and JING-GUNG CHUNG4,7 1Department of Radiation Oncology, National Yang‑Ming University Hospital, Yilan 260; 2Department of Radiological Technology, Central Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taichung 40601; 3Department of Internal Medicine, National Yang‑Ming University Hospital, Yilan 260; 4Department of Biological Science and Technology, China Medical University, Taichung 404; 5Department of Radiology, China Medical University Hospital, Taichung 404; 6Graduate Institute of Chinese Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung 404; 7Department of Biotechnology, Asia University, Taichung 404, Taiwan, R.O.C. Received March 31, 2015; Accepted June 26, 2015 DOI: 10.3892/or.2015.4159 Abstract. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer CARD6, ID1 and ID2 genes, associated with cell survival and mortality and new cases are on the increase worldwide. the BRMS1L, associated with cell migration and invasion. However, the treatment of lung cancer remains unsatisfactory. Additionally, 59 downregulated genes exhibited a >4-fold Curcumin has been shown to induce cell death in many human change, including the DDIT3 gene, associated with DNA cancer cells, including human lung cancer cells. However, the damage; while 97 genes had a >3- to 4-fold change including the effects of curcumin on genetic mechanisms associated with DDIT4 gene, associated with DNA damage; the CCPG1 gene, these actions remain unclear. Curcumin (2 µM) was added associated with cell cycle and 321 genes with a >2- to 3-fold to NCI-H460 human lung cancer cells and the cells were including the GADD45A and CGREF1 genes, associated with incubated for 24 h.
