The endonuclease activity of MCPIP1 controls the neoplastic transformation of epithelial cells via the c-Met/CD44 axis by Paulina Marona, Rafał Myrczek, Iga Piasecka, Judyta Gorka, Oliwia Kwapisz, Ewelina Pospiech, Janusz Rys, Jolanta Jura, Katarzyna Miekus

“…Our study elucidates the effects of downregulation of MCPIP1 expression and an RNase-inactivating mutation (D141N) on normal epithelial kidney cells, indicating that MCPIP1 expression is a key factor that suppresses neoplastic transformation. We observed that either expression downregulation or mutation of MCPIP1 significantly increased its clonogenicity and altered the expression of cancer stem cell (CSC) markers and factors involved in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). …”
