Popis: Somatic mutations in the gene encoding the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 6 (Ppp6c) have been identified in malignant melanoma and are thought to function as a driver in B-raf- or N-ras-driven tumorigenesis. To assess the role of Ppp6c in carcinogenesis, we generated skin keratinocyte-specific Ppp6c conditional knockout mice and performed two-stage skin carcinogenesis analysis. Ppp6c deficiency induced papilloma formation with 7,12-dimethylbenz (a) anthracene (DMBA) only, and development of those papillomas was significantly accelerated compared with that seen following DMBA/TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate) treatment of wild-type mice. NF-κB activation either by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α or interleukin (IL)-1β was enhanced in Ppp6c-deficient keratinocytes. Overall, we conclude that Ppp6c deficiency predisposes mice to skin carcinogenesis initiated by DMBA. This is the first report showing that such deficiency promotes tumor formation in mice.
