However, a significant number of tumors are rapamycin resistant. In this study, we report that the ability of rapamycin to downregulate Skp2, a subunit of the ubiquitin protein ligase complex, identifies tumors that are sensitive to rapamycin. RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated silencing of Skp2 in human tumor cells increased their sensitivity to rapamycin in vitro and inhibited the growth of tumor xenografts in vivo. Our findings suggest that Skp2 levels are a key determinant of antitumor responses to mTOR inhibitors, highlighting a potentially important pharmacogenomic marker to predict sensitivity to rapamycin as well as Skp2 silencing strategies for therapeutic purposes.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22311674</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Totary-Jain, HanaSanoudou, DespinaDautriche, Cula NSchneller, HillaryZambrana, LesterMarks, Andrew RengF32 HL088815/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/T32 HL087745/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/F32HL088815/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural2012/02/09 06:00Cancer Res. 2012 Apr 1;72(7):1836-43. doi: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-11-2195.
