Protein CIP2A also known as cancerous inhibitor of PP2A (CIP2A) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIAA1524 gene.[1][2]

Contents

Function

Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a cellular tumor suppressor which inhibits cell proliferation and transformation of normal cells to malignant cancer cells. Inhibition of PP2A activity is a prerequisite for human cell transformation. However, the in vivo mechanisms by which PP2A activity is inhibited in spontaneously transformed human cancer cells have been unclear.

CIP2A inhibits PP2A tumor suppressor activity in human malignancies.[3] More specifically, CIP2A was demonstrated to inhibit PP2A activity towards oncogenic transcription factor c-Myc, and thereby prevent c-Myc proteolytic degradation. Moreover, CIP2A is required for the malignant cellular growth and for in vivo tumor formation. In accordance with the oncogenic role of CIP2A, overexpression of CIP2A promotes Ras-elicited cell growth and transforms immortalized human cells (HEK-TERVs).

Clinical significance

CIP2A is overexpressed in several common human malignancies including, human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), colon cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, prostatecancer and lung cancer. Notably, in these cancer types CIP2A overexpression is observed with very high frequency; in breast cancer around 40% of cancer patients are overexpressing CIP2A whereas in all other studied cancer types the frequency is between 65-87 percent. In breast cancer CIP2A expression correlates with disease aggressivity whereas in gastric and lung cancer CIP2A expression predicts for poor patient survival.[4][5]

CIP2A is also over expressed in prostate cancer,[6] lung cancer,[7] oral squamous cell carcinoma,[8] and gastric cancer.[4] Furthermore, the expression of CIP2A correlates with breast cancer aggressivity.[9]
