| Research Abstract |
In an attempt to identify phosphotyrosine containing proteins binding to Src family kinases (SFKs) in gastric scirrhous carcinoma, we identified Ossa/C9orf10, CDCP1 and ARAP3. Among them, Ossa, designated as Oxidative stress-associated Src activator is a novel RNA-binding protein that guards cancer cells from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis by the activation of PI3-kinase/Akt signaling through SFKs. Dissemination of intraperitoneally transplanted scirrhous gastric cancer cells was suppressed by reduced expression of Ossa or CDCP1, or treatment with synthetic peptide derived from ephrin-B1 carboxyl-terminus.
