  • Title: p62 at the interface of autophagy, oxidative stress signaling, and cancer.
    Author: Nezis IP, Stenmark H.
    Journal: Antioxid Redox Signal; 2012 Sep 01; 17(5):786-93. PubMed ID: 22074114.
    Abstract:
    SIGNIFICANCE: Sequestosome 1 (p62/SQSTM1) is a multifunctional adapter protein implicated in selective autophagy, cell signaling pathways, and tumorigenesis. RECENT ADVANCES: Recent evidence has revealed that p62/SQSTM1 has a critical role in an oxidative stress response pathway by its direct interaction with the ubiquitin ligase adaptor Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1), which results in constitutive activation of the transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (NRF2). CRITICAL ISSUES: Both NRF2 and KEAP1 are frequently mutated in cancer. The findings just cited uncover a link between p62/SQSTM1, autophagy, and the KEAP1-NRF2 stress response pathway in tumorigenesis and shed light on the interplay between autophagy and cancer. FUTURE DIRECTIONS: Here, we review the mechanisms by which p62/SQSTM1 implements its multiple roles in the regulation of tumorigenesis with emphasis on the KEAP1-NRF2 stress response signaling pathway. Uncovering the molecular mechanisms of p62/SQSTM1 function in oxidative stress signaling might contribute to elucidating its role in tumorigenesis.
