Abstract

The introduction of SV40 small t antigen or the suppression of PP2A B56gamma subunit expression contributes to the experimental transformation of human cells. To investigate the role of cancer-associated PP2A Aalpha subunit mutants in transformation, we introduced several PP2A Aalpha mutants into immortalized but nontumorigenic human cells. These PP2A Aalpha mutants exhibited defects in binding to other PP2A subunits and impaired phosphatase activity. Although overexpression of these mutants failed to render immortalized cells tumorigenic, partial suppression of endogenous PP2A Aalpha expression activated the AKT pathway and permitted cells to form tumors in immunodeficient mice. These findings suggest that cancer-associated Aalpha mutations contribute to cancer development by inducing functional haploinsufficiency, disturbing PP2A holoenzyme composition, and altering the enzymatic activity of PP2A.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In an in vivo knockin model of the E64G Aα mutant defective in B56α and B56δ binding, retina structure and function are not impacted.

    “in an in vivo knockin model of the cancer-associated E64G Aα mutant, defective in B56α and B56δ (and potentially other B56 isoforms) binding [10,93], there was no impact on retina structure and function.”
  • Aα E64G and E64D mutants, discovered in breast and lung carcinoma, are defective in B56α and B56δ binding in vivo and B56γ binding in vitro.

    “For instance, the Aα E64G and E64D mutants, respectively discovered in breast and lung carcinoma [104], were found to be defective in B56α and B56δ binding in vivo [10], and B56γ binding in vitro [93].”

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.
