ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccr.2011.01.018 | Abstract: | Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Tumor cells exploit various signaling pathways to promote their growth and metastasis. To our knowledge, the role of angiopoietin-like 4 protein (ANGPTL4) in cancer remains undefined. Here, we found that elevated ANGPTL4 expression is widespread in tumors, and its suppression impairs tumor growth associated with enhanced apoptosis. Tumor-derived ANGPTL4 interacts with integrins to stimulate NADPH oxidase-dependent production of O 2 -. A high ratio of O 2 -:H 2O 2 oxidizes/activates Src, triggering the PI3K/PKBα and ERK prosurvival pathways to confer anoikis resistance, thus promoting tumor growth. ANGPTL4 deficiency results in diminished O 2 - production and a reduced O 2 -:H 2O 2 ratio, creating a cellular environment conducive to apoptosis. ANGPTL4 is an important redox player in cancer and a potential therapeutic target. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. | Source Title: | Cancer Cell | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/100091 | ISSN: | 15356108 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ccr.2011.01.018 |
