PIP3: Phosphatidyl-3,4,5-triphosphate; DMEM: Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium; PI-3Kinase: phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase; MAPK: mitogen-activated protein kinase; IGF: insulin-like growth factor; PTEN: phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted from chromosome 10; SOS: son-of-sevenless ras exchange factor; ASK: apoptosis stimulating kinase; FKHR: forkhead related protein; cFLIP: cellular FLICE interacting protein; BSA: bovine serum albumin; TBS: tris buffered saline; PVDF: polyvinylidene difluoride
Akt directly phosphorylates and inactivates the pro-apoptotic proteins ASK1, BAD, caspase 9 [ 21 22 23 24 ] . Akt also induces the expression of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and c-FLIP proteins, and suppresses the cell cycle inhibitor p27 KIP [ 25 26 27 28 ] . This later effect is via the phosphorylation and inactivation of the forkhead family of transcription factors AFX, FKHR and FKHR-L1.
Pax3 gene encodes a transcriptional factor important in early development program, while FKHR gene encodes another generic transcriptional factor that is widely expressed in mammalian tissues.
Both Pax3-FKHR and Pax7-FKHR were shown to possess more potent transcriptional activity than its original forms Pax3 and Pax7 [ 10 11 ] . How the chimeric fusion proteins contribute to pathogenesis of rhabdomyosarcoma remains unclear.
The t(1; 13) translocation results in formation of Pax7-FKHR.
