Abstrakt:	Asymmetric cell division is a key tumor suppressor mechanism that prevents the uncontrolled expansion of the stem cell (SC) compartment by generating daughter cells with alternative fates: one retains SC identity and enters quiescence and the other becomes a rapidly proliferating and differentiating progenitor. A critical player in this process is Numb, which partitions asymmetrically at SC mitosis and inflicts different proliferative and differentiative fates in the two daughters. Here, we show that asymmetric Numb partitioning per se is insufficient for the proper control of mammary SC dynamics, with differential phosphorylation and functional inactivation of Numb in the two progeny also required. The asymmetric phosphorylation/inactivation of Numb in the progenitor is mediated by the atypical PKCζ isoform. This mechanism is subverted in breast cancer via aberrant activation of PKCs that phosphorylate Numb in both progenies, leading to symmetric division and expansion of the cancer SC compartment, associated with aggressive disease. Thus, Numb phosphorylation represents a target for breast cancer therapy. (© 2022 Filippone et al.)
