Abstract Text The scirrhous subtype of gastric cancer is a highly infiltrative tumor with a poor outcome. To identify a transforming gene in this intractable disorder, we constructed a retroviral complementary DNA (cDNA) expression library from a cell line (OCUM-1) of scirrhous gastric cancer. A focus formation assay with the library and mouse 3T3 fibroblasts led to the discovery of a transforming cDNA, encoding for MAP2K1 with a glutamine-to-proline substitution at amino acid position 56. Interestingly, treatment with a MAP2K1-specific inhibitor clearly induced cell death of OCUM-1 but not of other two cells lines of scirrhous gastric cancer that do not carry MAP2K1 mutations, revealing the essential role of MAP2K1(Q56P) in the transformation mechanism of OCUM-1 cells. By using a next-generation sequencer, we further conducted deep sequencing of the MAP2K1 cDNA among 171 human cancer specimens or cell lines, resulting in the identification of one known (D67N) and four novel (R47Q, R49L, I204T and P306H) mutations within MAP2K1. The latter four changes were further shown to confer transforming potential to MAP2K1. In our experiments, a total of six (3.5%) activating mutations in MAP2K1 were thus identified among 172 of specimens or cell lines for human epithelial tumors. Given the addiction of cancer cells to the elevated MAP2K1 activity for proliferation, human cancers with such MAP2K1 mutations are suitable targets for the treatment with MAP2K1 inhibitors.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
