  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Protein phosphatase magnesium-dependent 1 delta (PPM1D) terminates cell response to genotoxic stress by negatively regulating the tumor suppressor p53 and other targets at chromatin. Mutations in the exon 6 of the <jats:italic>PPM1D</jats:italic> result in production of a highly stable, C-terminally truncated PPM1D. These gain-of-function <jats:italic>PPM1D</jats:italic> mutations are present in various human cancers but their role in tumorigenesis remains unresolved. Here we show that truncated PPM1D impairs activation of the cell cycle checkpoints in human non-transformed RPE cells and allows proliferation in the presence of DNA damage. Next, we developed a mouse model by introducing a truncating mutation in the <jats:italic>PPM1D</jats:italic> locus and tested contribution of the oncogenic <jats:italic>PPM1D</jats:italic><jats:sup><jats:italic>T</jats:italic></jats:sup> allele to colon tumorigenesis. We found that p53 pathway was suppressed in colon stem cells harboring <jats:italic>PPM1D</jats:italic><jats:sup><jats:italic>T</jats:italic></jats:sup> resulting in proliferation advantage under genotoxic stress condition. In addition, truncated PPM1D promoted tumor growth in the colon in <jats:italic>Apc</jats:italic><jats:sup>min</jats:sup> mice and diminished survival. Moreover, tumor organoids derived from colon of the <jats:italic>Apc</jats:italic><jats:sup>min</jats:sup><jats:italic>Ppm1d</jats:italic><jats:sup><jats:italic>T/+</jats:italic></jats:sup> mice were less sensitive to 5-fluorouracil when compared to <jats:italic>Apc</jats:italic><jats:sup><jats:italic>min</jats:italic></jats:sup><jats:italic>Ppm1d</jats:italic><jats:sup><jats:italic>+/+</jats:italic></jats:sup>and the sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil was restored by inhibition of PPM1D. Finally, we screened colorectal cancer patients and identified recurrent somatic <jats:italic>PPM1D</jats:italic> mutations in a fraction of colon adenocarcinomas that are p53 proficient and show defects in mismatch DNA repair. In summary, we provide the first in vivo evidence that truncated PPM1D can promote tumor growth and modulate sensitivity to chemotherapy.</jats:p>
