Cancerous inhibitor of PP2A (CIP2A) stimulates the proliferation of various cancer cells, and 17β-estradiol (E₂) enhances the proliferation of breast cancer cells. E₂ activates epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), stimulating the MEK1/2 and PI3K pathways, and CIP2A expression is increased by the MEK1/2-induced transcription factor ETS1. It is possible for E₂ to increase CIP2A expression. This study examined whether E₂ could increase CIP2A expression and whether CIP2A is highly expressed in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer tissues. E₂ increased CIP2A expression at the translational level in a c-MYC-independent manner in MCF-7 cells. E₂-enhanced proliferation was impaired without CIP2A expression. E₂-stimulated EGFR activated the MAPK and PI3K pathways, which converged to activate p70 S6 kinase (S6K). Phosphorylation at all the three phosphorylation sites (S424/T421, T229, and T389) on S6K was required for the phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4B (eIF4B), which was responsible for the increase in CIP2A translation. Furthermore, CIP2A expression was higher in ER-positive tissues than in ER-negative tissues. This is the first study, to our knowledge, to demonstrate that CIP2A is a key factor in E₂-enhanced proliferation and that estrogen regulates CIP2A expression by non-genomic action through EGFR.

Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a prevalent and serious condition within the digestive system, with approximately 20 % to 30 % of cases advancing to severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). During the initial phases of SAP, macrophages are activated in response to the substantial amounts of acinar cell contents and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) resulting from acinar cell destruction. Subsequently, activated macrophages release a significant array of pro-inflammatory factors that exacerbate the progression of SAP.

Oncogenic mutations in KRAS are present in ~95% of patients diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and are considered the initiating event of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) precursor lesions. While it is well established that KRAS mutations drive the activation of oncogenic kinase cascades during pancreatic oncogenesis, the effects of oncogenic KRAS signaling on regulation of phosphatases during this process is not fully appreciated. Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A) has been implicated in suppressing KRAS-driven cellular transformation and low PP2A activity is observed in PDAC cells compared to non-transformed cells, suggesting that suppression of PP2A activity is an important step in the overall development of PDAC.

Cancer develops from abnormal cell growth in the body, causing significant mortalities every year. To date, potent therapeutic approaches have been developed to eradicate tumor cells, but intolerable toxicity and drug resistance can occur in treated patients, limiting the efficiency of existing treatment strategies. Therefore, searching for novel genes critical for cancer progression and therapeutic response is urgently needed for successful cancer therapy.

Background: As one of the main molecules in BCR-ABL signaling, c-Myc acts as a pivotal key in disease progression and disruption of long-term remission in patients with CML.
Objectives: To clarify the effects of c-Myc inhibition in CML, we examined the anti-tumor property of a well-known small molecule inhibitor of c-Myc 10058-F4 on K562 cell line.
Methods: This experimental study was conducted in K562 cell line for evaluation of cytotoxic activity of 10058-F4 using Trypan blue and MTT assays.
