Suppression of Ras-Induced Apoptosis by the Rac GTPase

Open access
Joneson, Tom, Bar-Sagi, Dafna·1999·Molecular and Cellular Biology

Abstract

Ras is an essential component of signal transduction pathways that control cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. In this study we have examined the cellular responses to high-intensity Ras signaling. Expression of increasing amounts of the oncogenic form of human HRas, HRasV12, results in a dose-dependent induction of apoptosis in both primary and immortalized cells. The induction of apoptosis by HRasV12 is blocked by activated Rac and potentiated by dominant interfering Rac. The ability of Rac to suppress Ras-induced apoptosis is dependent on effector pathway(s) controlled by the insert region and is linked to the activation of NF-kappaB. The apoptotic effect of HRasV12 requires the activation of both the ERK and JNK mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade and is independent of p53. These results demonstrate a role for Rac in controlling signals that are necessary for cell survival, and suggest a mechanism by which Rac activity can confer growth advantage to cells transformed by the ras oncogene.

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.
