摘要: Defective apoptosis not only promotes tumorigenesis, but also can confound chemotherapeutic response. Here we demonstrate that the proapoptotic BH3-only protein BIM is a tumor suppressor in epithelial solid tumors and determinant paclitaxel sensitivity vivo. Furthermore, H-ras/mitogen-activated kinase (MAPK) pathway conferred resistance to was dependent on functional inactivation of BIM. Whereas induced accumulation BIM-dependent vitro vivo, H-ras/MAPK suppressed this induction by phosphorylating targeting for degradation proteasomes. The proteasome inhibitor Velcade (P-341, Bortezomib) restored induction, abrogated H-ras-dependent resistance, promoted regression, suggesting potential benefits combinatorial chemotherapy paclitaxel.
