The Drug-Induced Degradation of Oncoproteins: An Unexpected Achilles' Heel of Cancer Cells?

Ablain, Julien, Nasr, Rihab, Bazarbachi, Ali, de Thé, Hugues·2011·Cancer Discovery

Abstract

Many targeted therapies against cancer are aimed at inhibiting the enzymatic activity of kinases. Thus far, this approach has undoubtedly yielded significant clinical improvements, but has only rarely achieved cures. Other drugs, which selectively elicit proteasome-dependent degradation of oncoproteins, induce the loss of cancer cell self-renewal and promote cell differentiation and/or apoptosis. In acute promyelocytic leukemia, the cooperative degradation of PML/RARA by arsenic and retinoic acid cures most patients. In this condition and others, drug-induced proteolysis of oncoproteins is feasible and underlies improved clinical outcome. Several transcription factors, nuclear receptors, or fusion proteins driving cancer growth could be candidates for proteolysis-based drug-discovery programs. Summary: Some cancer therapies may degrade oncoproteins. Loss of the driver oncoprotein is associated with loss of cancer cell self-renewal. Leukemia- or sarcoma-associated fusion proteins are the best candidates for small-molecule screens aimed at initiating oncoprotein degradation. Cancer Discovery; 1(2). 117–27. ©2011 AACR.

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.
