Mitochondrial MKP1 Is a Target for Therapy-Resistant HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Cells
7 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
The MAPK phosphatase MKP1 (DUSP1) is overexpressed in many human cancers, including chemoresistant and radioresistant breast cancer cells, but its functional contributions in these settings are unclear. Here, we report that after cell irradiation, MKP1 translocates into mitochondria, where it prevents apoptotic induction by limiting accumulation of phosphorylated active forms of the stress kinase JNK. Increased...
