Role of wild-type p53-induced phosphatase 1 in cancer.
Oncology Letters 2017 October
Wild-type p53-induced phosphatase (Wip1) is a member of the protein phosphatase type 2C family and is an established oncogene due to its dephosphorylation of several tumor suppressors and negative control of the DNA damage response system. It has been reported to dephosphorylate p53, ataxia telangiectasia mutated, checkpoint kinase 1 and p38 mitogen activated protein kinases, forming negative feedback loops to inhibit apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Wip1 serves a major role in tumorigenesis, progression, invasion, distant metastasis and apoptosis in various types of human cancer. Therefore, it may be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Furthermore, previous evidence has revealed a new role for Wip1 in the regulation of chemotherapy resistance. In the present review, the current knowledge on the role of Wip1 in cancer is discussed, as well as its potential as a novel target for cancer treatment and its function in chemotherapy resistance.
