    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.

Abstract SHP2 is a protein tyrosine phosphatase that normally potentiates intracellular signaling by growth factors, antigen receptors, and some cytokines; it is frequently mutated in childhood leukemias and other cancers. Here, we examine the role of SHP2 in the responses of breast cancer cells to EGF by monitoring phosphoproteome dynamics when SHP2 is allosterically inhibited by the small molecule SHP099.

  • 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. Oncogene (2014) 33, 939–953; doi:10.1038/onc.2013.80; published online 18 March 2013 Keywords: cancer; phosphatases; solid tumours GASTROINTESTINAL MALIGNANCIES abs in sera were significantly associated with poor survival in Oesophageal cancer advanced ESCC, suggesting that they may have a clinical utility in Loss of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on ESCC screening and diagnosis.5 chromosome 10) expression in oesophageal cancer is frequent, Cao et al.6 investigated the role of protein tyrosine phosphatase, among other gene alterations characterizing this disease.
