Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) in tumorigenesis and cancer chemotherapy

Open access
Luo, Jia·2009·Cancer Letters

Abstract

Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), a multifunctional serine/threonine kinase found in all eukaryotes, had been initially identified as a key regulator of insulin-dependent glycogen synthesis. It is now known that GSK3β functions in diverse cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, motility and survival. Aberrant regulation of GSK3β has been implicated in a range of human pathologies including non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, some neurodegenerative diseases, and bipolar disorder. As a consequence, the therapeutic potential of GSK3β inhibitors has become an important area of investigation. However, GSK3β also participates in neoplastic transformation and tumor development. The role of GSK3β in tumorigenesis and cancer progression remains controversial; it may function as a “tumor suppressor” for certain types of tumors, but promotes growth and development for some others. GSK3β also mediates drug sensitivity/resistance in cancer chemotherapy. Therefore, although GSK3β is an attractive therapeutic target for a number of human diseases, its potential impact on tumorigenesis and cancer chemotherapy needs to be carefully evaluated. This mini-review discusses the role of GSK3β in tumorigenesis/cancer progression as well as its modulation of cancer chemotherapy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
