Abstract

La voie de signalisation Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (Ras/MAPK) occupe un rle central dans la rgulation de diffrents processus biologiques tels que la croissance, la survie mais aussi la prolifration cellulaire. En rponse des signaux extracellulaires, cette voie de signalisation mne lactivation des protines ERK1/2, impliques dans lactivation de nombreux substrats cellulaires dont les protines kinases RSK (p90 ribosomal S6 kinase). Ces protines kinases sont, entre autres, impliques dans linvasion et la migration cellulaire mais les mcanismes responsables de ces phnomnes biologiques restent inconnus ce jour.Dans mon mmoire, je dveloppe tout dabord les travaux prcdemment raliss dans notre laboratoire, et identifie la protine p120-Catenin (p120ctn), un composant majeur des jonctions adhrentes (AJ), comme un nouveau substrat de la voie Ras/MAPK. En utilisant notamment un anticorps phospho-spcificique, nous avons pu dmontrer que p120ctn est phosphoryle sur la srine 320, un nouveau site de phosphorylation, dune manire dpendante des kinases RSK. Dautre part, nous avons trouv que la signalisation Ras/MAPK rduit linteraction entre les protines p120ctn et N-cadhrine. Ainsi, nos observations suggrent que lactivation de la voie Ras/MAPK est implique dans la diminution de ladhrence entre cellules par la dstabilisation des AJ. Compte tenu du rle primordial de la voie de signalisation Ras/MAPK dans le cancer, ce mcanisme nouvellement dcrit pourrait contribuer lavancement des connaissances sur le dveloppement des cancers dpendents de cette voie de signalisation.Advisors/Committee Members: Roux, Philippe (advisor).
