The serine/threonine phosphatase PP2A regulates a vast portion of the phosphoproteome including pathways involved in apoptosis, proliferation and DNA damage response and PP2A inactivation is a vital step in malignant transformation. Many groups have explored the therapeutic venue of combining PP2A reactivation with kinase inhibition to counteract the very changes in tumor suppressors and oncogenes that lead to cancer development. Conversely, inhibition of PP2A to complement chemotherapy and radiation-induced cancer cell death is also an area of active investigation. Here we review the studies that utilize PP2A targeted agents as combination therapy in cancer. A potential role for PP2A in tumor immunity is also highlighted.
丝氨酸/苏氨酸磷酸酶 PP2A 调节包括凋亡、增殖和 DNA 损伤反应途径在内的大量磷酸化组,PP2A 的失活是恶性转化的关键步骤。许多研究小组已经探讨了将 PP2A 再激活与激酶抑制相结合的治疗方法,以对抗导致癌症发展的肿瘤抑制因子和癌基因的变化。相反,抑制 PP2A 以补充化疗和放疗诱导的癌细胞死亡也是一个积极研究的领域。在这里,我们回顾了利用 PP2A 靶向药物作为癌症联合治疗的研究。还强调了 PP2A 在肿瘤免疫中的潜在作用。
