Abstract

Ras proteins function in stimulating cell proliferation and differentiation through the activation of Raf-dependent and Raf-independent signal transduction pathways and the subsequent activation of specific transcription factors. The transcription factor NF-kappaB has been widely studied as a regulator of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses. A variety of stimuli activate NF-kappaB through the induced phosphorylation and degradation of the inhibitor IkappaB followed by nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB. We show here that oncogenic forms of Ha-Ras activate NF-kappaB, not through induced nuclear translocation, but rather through the activation of the transcriptional function of the NF-kappaB RelA/p65 subunit. Importantly, RelA/p65 -/- cells are inefficient in the activation of kappaB-dependent gene expression in response to oncogenic Ras expression. Furthermore, IkappaBalpha expression blocks focus formation in NIH3T3 cells induced by oncogenic Ras. These results demonstrate that NF-kappaB is a critical downstream mediator of Ha-Ras signaling and oncogenic potential.

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.
