Inhibition of cell migration and invasion mediated by the TAT-RasGAP317–326 peptide requires the DLC1 tumor

Barras, D ; Lorusso, Girieca ; Rüegg, Curzio ; Widmann, Christian

In: Oncogene, 2014, p. -

TAT-RasGAP317–326, a peptide corresponding to the 317–326 sequence of p120 RasGAP coupled with a cell-permeable TAT-derived peptide, sensitizes the death response of various tumor cells to several anticancer treatments. We now report that this peptide is also able to increase cell adherence, prevent cell migration and inhibit matrix invasion. This is accompanied by a marked...

Fragment N2, a caspase-3-generated RasGAP fragment, inhibits breast cancer metastatic progression

Barras, David ; Lorusso, Girieca ; Lhermitte, Benoît ; Viertl, David ; Rüegg, Curzio ; Widmann, Christian

In: International Journal of Cancer, 2014, p. -

The p120 RasGAP protein negatively regulates Ras via its GAP domain. RasGAP carries several other domains that modulate several signaling molecules such as Rho. RasGAP is also a caspase-3 substrate. One of the caspase-3-generated RasGAP fragments, corresponding to amino acids 158–455 and called fragment N2, was previously reported to specifically sensitize cancer cells to death induced by...
