Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 4E-BP Protien Family: Sentinels at a Translational Checkpoint in Lung Tumor Defense


ABSTRACT: The usurping of translational control by sustained activation of translation initiation factors is oncogenic. Here we show that the primary negative regulators of these oncogenic initiation factors - the 4E-BP protein family - operate as guardians of a translational control checkpoint in tumor defense. When challenged with the tobacco carcinogen NNK, 4ebp1-/-/4ebp2-/- mice showed increased sensitivity to tumorigenesis compared to their wild type counterparts. The 4E-BP deficient state per se creates pro-oncogenic, genome-wide skewing of the molecular landscape - with translational activation of genes governing angiogenesis, growth and proliferation; and translational activation of the precise cytochrome p450 enzyme isoform (CYP2A5) that bioactivates NNK into mutagenic metabolites. Our study provides in vivo proof for a translational control checkpoint in tumor defense.
