PINCH-1 Regulates the ERK-Bim Pathway and Contributes to Apoptosis Resistance in Cancer Cells
7 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to apoptosis is a hallmark of cancer cells. We report here that PINCH-1, a cytoplasmic component of cell-extracellular matrix adhesions, is required for protection of multiple types of cancer cells from apoptosis. Furthermore, using HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells as a model system, we have investigated the signaling pathway through which PINCH-1 contributes to apoptosis resistance. Loss of PINCH-1 markedly...
