Targeting eukaryotic protein translation in mesothelioma

Abstract: The default mechanism for protein translation in eukaryotes involves activation of the eIF4 complex at the 5' end of mRNA. This activity is upregulated in cancers, resulting in the expression of a variety of proteins necessary for the development and maintenance of the neoplastic state. Not surprisingly, mesothelioma demonstrates this same reliance on activation of 5' cap mediated translation.Efforts are ongoing to target and exploit our knowledge of this key molecular switch for cancer therapy.Agents targetin… Show more

“…Consistent with this model, PAIP1 knockdown downregulates CCND1 and CCND2 expression in HCC cells, thereby restricting cyclin D/CDK activity and producing the observed anti-malignant effects. Based on Kratze et al's proposed model [30], we speculate that PAIP1 expression in HCC cells promotes eIF4G hyper-activation, thereby promoting preferential translation of CCND1 and CCND2 transcripts.…”

“…Although more research is required to reveal the underlying mechanism of PAIP1 in tumorigenesis, there is a substantial body of evidence linking dysregulations in PAIP1-associated translational initiation factors with oncogenesis [29]. Kratze et al has reported that many malignancies display hyper-activation of eIF4 proteins (i.e., eIF4A, eIF4E, eIF4G, and 4E-BP proteins), resulting in enhanced binding to the 5' cap and preferential translation of cancer-associated genes, including cyclin D1, c-myc, and ornithine decarboxylase [30]. As PAIP1 stabilizes PABP's interaction with eIF4G [7], the PAIP1 upregulation in HCC cells observed here may promote the translation of oncogenic mRNAs through promoting eIF4G hyperactivation.…”

“…Our results reveal that, besides the previously described elongation factors, initiation factors such as EIF3G and EIF-4II are also involved in lung cancer. To date, these factors have only been attributed to other cancers, such as mesothelioma [ 188 ] and colorectal cancers [ 189 ].…”
