"Preventing Two Pathways of p27Kip1 Degradation Delays LMP2A/MYC-Driven Lymphomagenesis"

Richard Sora, Graduate Student, Lab of Richard Longnecker, PhD / Northwestern University

Description

Determining the mechanism by which LMP2A signaling leads to p27 degradation in LMP2A/MYC-driven lymphoma can lead to targeted therapies aimed at maintaining normal p27 levels in patients. These data show that a loss of SCFSkp2-mediated p27 degradation combined with nuclear localization of p27 by expression of the S10A knock-in is the most effective method yet for preventing tumor growth in our LMP2A/λ-MYC model of lymphoma. We hypothesize that LMP2A signaling promotes the degradation of p27 by both of these pathways.
