Urszula Hibner’s team discovered a novel activity of NS5A |
| Urszula Hibner’s team discovered a novel activity of NS5A, a nonstructural HCV protein. NS5A perturbs hepatocyte epithelial polarity and cooperates with TGF-beta and with oncogenic Ras to induce aggressive liver tumours (*Akkari, *Gregoire et al (2012). Hepatitis C viral protein NS5A induces EMT and participates in oncogenic transformation of primary hepatocyte precursors. Journal of Hepatology/57/, 1021-1028). Ula’s commentary on this work has been published on the J. Hepatol website. (...) |

Team Jean-Marie Blanchard - "A novel function for Cyclin A2: Control of cell invasion via RhoA signaling" has been published by The Journal of Cell Biology |
| Cyclin A2 plays a key role in cell cycle regulation both in S phase and mitosis. It is essential in embryonic cells and in the hematopoietic lineage, yet dispensable in fibroblasts and other adult tissues. In a work published in January 2012 in The Journal of Cell Biology, Nikola Arsic and collaborators demonstrate that Cyclin A2-depleted cells display a cortical distribution of actin filaments and increased migration. These defects are rescued by restoration of wild-type Cyclin A2, which (...) |
