Ptpn11/Shp2 Acts as a Tumor Suppressor in Hepatocellular Carcinogenesis
Open accessAbstract
The human gene Ptpn11, which encodes the tyrosine phosphatase Shp2, may act as a proto-oncogene because dominantly activating mutations have been detected in several types of leukemia. Herein we report a tumor-suppressor function of Shp2. Hepatocyte-specific deletion of Shp2 promotes inflammatory signaling through the Stat3 pathway and hepatic inflammation/necrosis, resulting in regenerative hyperplasia and development of tumors in aged mice. Furthermore, Shp2 ablation dramatically enhanced diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development, which was abolished by concurrent deletion of Shp2 and Stat3 in hepatocytes. Decreased Shp2 expression was detected in a subfraction of human HCC specimens. Thus, in contrast to the leukemogenic effect of dominant-active mutants, Ptpn11/Shp2 has a tumor-suppressor function in liver.

STAT3 may serve as a common signalling node in development of HCC associated with diverse etiologies, including viral infection, and metabolic and hormonal dysregulation.
“In defining a central role for STAT3 in FGF19-driven hepatocarcinogenesis, the data presented in this report extend previous findings on the causal role played by STAT3 in hepatocellular tumorigenesis4445, and suggest that STAT3 may serve as a common signalling node in the development of HCC associated with diverse etiologies, including viral infection, and metabolic and hormonal dysregulation.”

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.
