MNK-eIF4E Signaling and mRNA Translation Regulate Mesenchymal Glioma Stem Cell Maintenance and Promote Therapeutic Resistance in Glioblastoma

Description:

MAPK-interacting kinase (MNK) signaling leads to activation of cap-dependent mRNA translation through phosphorylation of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E). In cancer cells, MNK-eIF4E signaling promotes translation of oncogenic mRNAs. In glioblastoma (GBM), the deadliest malignant brain tumor, MNK-eIF4E signaling is aberrantly activated and represents a promising therapeutic target....
