Journal ArticleDOI
p27 Phosphorylation by Src Regulates Inhibition of Cyclin E-Cdk2
Isabel Chu,Jun Sun,Angel Arnaout,Harriette J. Kahn,Wedad Hanna,Steven A. Narod,Ping Sun,Cheng Keat Tan,Ludger Hengst,Joyce M. Slingerland,Joyce M. Slingerland +10 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that phosphorylation by Src impairs the Cdk2 inhibitory action of p27 and reduces its steady-state binding to cyclin E-Cdk2-dependent p27 proteolysis, and this provides a new rationale for Src inhibitors in cancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
VEGF Drives Cancer-Initiating Stem Cells Through VEGFR-2/Stat3 Signaling to Upregulate Myc and Sox2
Dekuang Zhao,Chendong Pan,Jun Sun,Candace A Gilbert,Katherine Drews-Elger,Diana J. Azzam,Manuel Picon-Ruiz,Minsoon Kim,W. Ullmer,Dorraya El-Ashry,Chad J. Creighton,Joyce M. Slingerland +11 more
TL;DR: High-VEGF tumors may be most likely to escape anti-angiogenics by upregulating VEGF, driving CSC self-renewal to re-populate post-treatment, and highlights the need to better define V EGF-driven cancer subsets and supports further investigation of combined therapeutic blockade of VEGFR-2 and JAK2/STAT3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytoplasmic p27 promotes epithelial–mesenchymal transition and tumor metastasis via STAT3-mediated Twist1 upregulation
Dekuang Zhao,Alexandra H. Besser,Seth A. Wander,Jun Sun,Wen Zhou,Bin Wang,Tan A. Ince,Michael A. Durante,Wei Guo,Gordon B. Mills,Dan Theodorescu,Joyce M. Slingerland +11 more
TL;DR: An oncogenic feedforward loop in which p27pT157pT198 binds Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) promoting STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) recruitment and activation is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
WW domain binding protein-2, an E6-associated protein interacting protein, acts as a coactivator of estrogen and progesterone receptors.
Sarath C. Dhananjayan,Sivapriya Ramamoorthy,Obaid Yusuf Khan,Ayesha Ismail,Jun Sun,Joyce M. Slingerland,Bert W. O'Malley,Zafar Nawaz +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that WBP-2 and E6-associated protein each enhance PR function, and their effect on PR action are additive when coexpressed, suggesting a common signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Src promotes estrogen-dependent estrogen receptor α proteolysis in human breast cancer
Isabel Chu,Isabel Chu,Angel Arnaout,Sophie Loiseau,Jun Sun,Arun Seth,Chris Mcmahon,Kathy Chun,Bryan T. Hennessy,Gordon B. Mills,Zafar Nawaz,Joyce M. Slingerland +11 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that Src cooperates with estrogen to activate ERα proteolysis, and support a model whereby crosstalk between liganded ERα and Src drives ERα transcriptional activity and targets ERα for ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic activity.
