Úloha Mst1 / FoxO dráhy při indukci apoptosy
 Lettlová, Sandra ; Bezouška, Karel (advisor) ; Liberda, Jiří (referee)
Vitamin E analogue -tocopheryl succinate (-TOS) from the group of mitocans, the drugs targeting mitochondria, is a selective inducer of apoptosis in various cancer cell types, which involves the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It was found that ROS generation causes p53-independent upregulation of the pro-apoptotic protein Noxa that induces apoptosis by displacement of the BH3-only protein Bak from its inactive complex with the anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1 to form a pore in outer mitochondrial membrane. Current research has demonstrated that generation of ROS causes activation of Mst1, a component of the Hippo pathway that presents a universal size-control mechanism in all metazoans, whose deregulation is linked to tumorigenesis. Treatment of Jurkat cells with - TOS revealed that activated Mst1 kinase phosphorylates the Forkhead box O1 (FoxO1) transcription factor that then translocates to the nucleus and activates transcription of genes important for apoptosis induction, including NOXA. This explains the p53 independent apoptosis induction and presents Mst1-FoxO1-Noxa as a new pathway involved in the process. Current research has also documented that activated Mst1 kinase controls the expression of the c-MYC oncogene and its target genes, whose products are involved in glucose...
