Abstract

We propose that in Ras-driven malignant cells there is a functional interaction between cyclin D1 and this oncogene; in which the main function of cyclin D1 is to guarantee cell survival overcoming the Ras oncogenic stress. We showed in the presented reports that CRISPR-Cas9-mediated cyclin D1 depletion induces p53-independent senescence in Ras-driven carcinoma cells. Moreover, in MEFs cyclin D1 overexpression attenuates Ras-induced oncogenic stress enabling cell viability and proliferation. Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms underlying this putative functional interaction between Ras and cyclin D1 is the central goal of this project. These issues will be addressed by proteome and phosphoproteome network analyses followed by validation of key proteins involved in these molecular mechanisms. (AU)
