“…Unlike the cadherin-associated b-catenin, the cytosolic b-catenin is known to be the sole pool that is tyrosine phosphorylated in the cell. Recent studies demonstrate that tyrosine phosphorylation of b-catenin is correlated with tumor formation and invasiveness (Sommers et al, 1994;Bonvini et al, 2001). We have already reported that in in vitro NIH3T3 cells the level of cytoplasmic bcatenin is negatively influenced by LMW-PTP expression (Taddei et al, 2002).…”

Low molecular weight protein tyrosine phosphatases (LMW-PTPs) are an enzyme family that plays a key role in cell proliferation control by dephosphorylating/ inactivating both tyrosine kinase receptors (such as PDGF, insulin, and ephrin receptors) and docking proteins (such, as b-catenin) endowed with both adhesion and transcriptional activity. Besides being a frequent event in human tumors, overexpression of LMW-PTP has been recently demonstrated to be sufficient to induce neoplastic transformation. We recently demonstrated that overexpression of LMW-PTP strongly potentiates the stability of cell-cell contacts at the adherens junction level, which powerfully suggests that LMW-PTP may also contribute to cancer invasivity. Focusing on mechanisms by which LMW-PTP is involved in cancer onset and progression, the emerging picture is that LMW-PTP strongly increases fibronectin-mediated cell adhesion and mobility but, paradoxically, decreases cell proliferation. Nevertheless, LMW-PTP-transfected NIH3T3 fibroblasts engrafted in nude mice induce the onset of larger fibrosarcomas, which are endowed with higher proliferation activity as compared to mock-transfected controls. Quite opposite effects have been obtained with engrafted fibroblasts transfected with a dominant-negative form of LMW-PTP. Notably, in sarcoma extracts, LMW-PTP overexpression greatly influences the ephrin A2 (EphA2) but not PDGF receptor or b-catenin tyrosine phosphorylation. The high association of dephosphorylated EphA2 overexpression with most human cancers and our observation that cell growth stimulation by LMW-PTP overexpression is restricted to the in vivo model, strongly suggest that LMW-PTP oncogenic potential is mediated by its EphA2 tyrosine dephosphorylating activity.

“…Transcriptional response to stress signals like proteasome inhibitor treatment is a complex process (Palombella et al, 1994;Ichihara and Tanaka, 1995;Firestein and Feuerstein, 1998;Hofmann et al, 1996;Bonvini et al, 1998) with the response of many genes being dependent on crosstalk between signal transduction pathways and cell type speci®c factors.…”

“…Moreover, drugs of the GA class can reduce the expression of several tyrosine kinase and serine kinase oncogene products, including Her2, Met, Raf, cdk4, and Akt (Schulte and Neckers, 1998;Webb et al, 2000;Ochel et al, 2001;Blagosklonny, 2002;Solit et al, 2002). These drugs act at concentrations in the nanomolar range (nM-GAi) by inhibiting the molecular chaperone HSP90, thereby preventing proper folding of the client oncoproteins, leading to their destabilization (Webb et al, 2000;Bonvini et al, 2001;Ochel et al, 2001).…”
