Abstract

Hyperactivated RAS drives progression of many human malignancies. However, oncogenic activity of RAS is dependent on simultaneous inactivation of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity. Although PP2A is known to regulate some of the RAS effector pathways, it has not been systematically assessed how these proteins functionally interact. Here we have analyzed phosphoproteomes regulated by either RAS or PP2A, by phosphopeptide enrichment followed by mass-spectrometry-based label-free quantification. To allow data normalization in situations where depletion of RAS or PP2A inhibitor CIP2A causes a large uni-directional change in the phosphopeptide abundance, we developed a novel normalization strategy, named pairwise normalization. This normalization is based on adjusting phosphopeptide abundances measured before and after the enrichment. The superior performance of the pairwise normalization was verified by various independent methods. Additionally, we demonstrate how the selected normalization method influences the downstream analyses and interpretation of pathway activities. Consequently, bioinformatics analysis of RAS and CIP2A regulated phosphoproteomes revealed a significant overlap in their functional pathways. This is most likely biologically meaningful as we observed a synergistic survival effect between CIP2A and RAS expression as well as KRAS activating mutations in TCGA pan-cancer data set and synergistic relationship between CIP2A and KRAS depletion in colony growth assays.

  • CIP2A overexpression is an equally strong predictor of poor survival in TCGA pan-cancer data as KRAS mutation.

    “CIP2A overexpression is an equally strong predictor of poor survival in TCGA pan-cancer data as KRAS mutation”

    From Oncoprotein CIP2A is stabilized via interaction with tumor suppressor PP2A/B56 (2017) · cites this paper as [13]

    The Results section (page unavailable) associates high CIP2A expression with poor prognosis in TCGA pan-cancer data and reports poor survival among KRAS mutants. It also describes a synergistic survival effect, but does not establish that CIP2A overexpression and KRAS mutation are equally strong predictors. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Binding of CIP2A to PP2A via specific B subunits may explain why CIP2A only regulates a fairly restricted number of phosphoproteins among thousands of potential target proteins regulated by different PP2A complexes.

    “Binding of CIP2A to PP2A via specific B subunits imposes an interesting possible explanation for observations that CIP2A only regulates a fairly restricted number of phosphoproteins [6,13] among thousands of potential target proteins regulated by different PP2A complexes [24,26].”

    From Oncoprotein CIP2A is stabilized via interaction with tumor suppressor PP2A/B56 (2017) · cites this paper as [13]

    The Discussion (page unavailable) reports an analysis of phosphoproteins regulated by CIP2A, and the Results (page unavailable) identify 2,911 measured phosphosites on 1,255 proteins. Our copy does not establish that CIP2A regulates only a fairly restricted number relative to PP2A’s potential targets. The proposed explanation involving specific PP2A B subunits is the citing authors’ framing, not a finding attributed to this source by the attached citation. (LLM, conf=0.72)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Patients with both CIP2A overexpression and KRAS mutation constitute the patient population with clearly the worst outcome.

    “the patients with both of these alterations constituted the patient population with clearly the worst outcome [13]”
  • There is significant overlap between CIP2A and RAS-regulated phosphoproteomes.

    “we recently demonstrated significant overlap between CIP2A and RAS-regulated phosphoproteomes [13]”
  • CIP2A impacts oncogenic RAS signaling and MYC activity in vivo.

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.
