Pp1-87B/PPP1CC-JNK axis integrates apoptosis and ferroptosis-like cell death to regulate cell competition and tumorigenesis
1 Sept 2025
Abstract excerpt
Cell competition, an evolutionarily conserved quality control mechanism, selectively removes unfit or pre-malignant cells via cell-cell interactions. Through a genetic screen in Drosophila, we identify the phosphatase Pp1-87B as an essential regulator of JNK signaling crucial for eliminating scrib-deficient precancerous cells during tumor-suppressive cell competition. Mechanistically, impaired Pp1-87B activates...
