Wee1 inhibition potentiates Wip1-dependent p53-negative tumor cell death during chemotherapy
2016
AbstractInactivation of p53 found in more than half of human cancers is often associated with increased tumor resistance to anti-cancer therapy. We have previously shown that overexpression of the phosphatase Wip1 in p53-negative tumors sensitizes them to chemotherapeutic agents, while protecting normal tissues from the side effects of anti-cancer treatment. In this study, we decided to search for kinases that prevent Wip1-mediated sensitization of cancer cells, thereby interfering with efficacy of genotoxic anti-cancer drugs. To this end, we performed a flow cytometry-based screening in order to identify kinases that regulated the levels of γH2AX, which were used as readout. Another criter…
Liberalismo y Revolución en la frontera. La Banda Oriental: De Cisplatina a Uruguay (1820-1830)
2019
La presente investigación profundiza en la década de 1820 en la ciudad de Montevideo, unos años en los que la Banda Oriental perteneció a la gobernación lusobrasileña bajo el nombre de Provincia Cisplatina. En ella se lleva a cabo un recorrido por la vida política de la capital oriental enmarcada en su coyuntura internacional: el triunfo del liberalismo en la Península Ibérica en los primeros años veinte y las declaraciones de independencia de los territorios iberoamericanos. Así, se analiza el proceso que llevó a un territorio de frontera como el Oriental, a convertirse en un Estado independiente. Un proceso de larga duración que inició en 1808 con la crisis de la monarquía hispánica, sigu…
Late Activation of Stress-activated Protein Kinases/c-Jun N-terminal Kinases Triggered by Cisplatin-induced DNA Damage in Repair-defective Cells
2011
Although stress-activated protein kinases/c-Jun N-terminal kinases (SAPK/JNK) are rapidly activated by genotoxins, the role of DNA damage in this response is not well defined. Here we show that the SEK1/MKK4-mediated dual phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK (Thr-183/Tyr-185) correlates with the level of cisplatin-DNA adducts at late times (16–24 h) after drug treatment in both human and mouse cells. Transfection of platinated plasmid DNA also caused SAPK/JNK activation. A defect in transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair resting on a mutation in Cockayne syndrome group B protein promoted the late SAPK/JNK activation following cisplatin exposure. Signaling to SAPK/JNK was accompanied by act…
