Alkylation of the tumor suppressor PTEN activates Akt and β-catenin signaling: A mechanism linking inflammation and oxidative stress with cancer. PLoS ONE 5 (10) : -. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0013545 | Abstract: | PTEN, a phosphoinositide-3-phosphatase, serves dual roles as a tumor suppressor and regulator of cellular anabolic/catabolic metabolism. Adaptation of a redox-sensitive cysteinyl thiol in PTEN for signal transduction by hydrogen peroxide may have superimposed a vulnerability to other mediators of oxidative stress and inflammation, especially reactive carbonyl species, which are commonly occurring by-products of arachidonic acid peroxidation. Using MCF7 and HEK-293 cells, we report that several reactive aldehydes and ketones, e.g. electrophilic α,β-enals (acrolein, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal) and α,β- enones (prostaglandin A2, Δ12-prostaglandin J2 and 15-deoxy-Δ-12,14-prostaglandin J2) covalently modify and inactivate cellular PTEN, with ensuing activation of PKB/Akt kinase; phosphorylation of Akt substrates; increased cell proliferation; and increased nuclear β-catenin signaling. Alkylation of PTEN by α,β-enals/enones and interference with its restraint of cellular PKB/Akt signaling may accentuate hyperplastic and neoplastic disorders associated with chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, or aging. © 2010 Covey et al. | Source Title: | PLoS ONE | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/124645 | ISSN: | 19326203 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pone.0013545 |
