Abstract
Plakoglobin (γ-catenin), a constituent of the adherens junction and desmosomes, has signaling capabilities typically associated with tumor/metastasis suppression through mechanisms that remain undefined. To determine the role of plakoglobin during tumorigenesis and metastasis, we expressed plakoglobin in human tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC9) cells and compared the mRNA profiles of parental SCC9 cells and their plakoglobin-expressing transfectants (SCC9-PG). We detected several p53-target genes whose levels were altered upon plakoglobin expression. In this study, we identified the p53 regulated tumor suppressor 14-3-3σ as a direct plakoglobin-p53 target gene. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments revealed that plakoglobin and p53 interact, and chromatin immunoprecipitation and electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed that plakoglobin and p53 associate with the 14-3-3σ promoter. Furthermore, luciferase reporter assays showed that p53 transcriptional activity is increased in the presence of plakoglobin. Finally, knockdown of plakoglobin in MCF-7 cells followed by luciferase assays confirmed that p53 transcriptional activity is enhanced in the presence of plakoglobin. Our data suggest that plakoglobin regulates gene expression in conjunction with p53 and that plakoglobin may regulate p53 transcriptional activity, which may account, in part, for the tumor/metastasis suppressor activity of plakoglobin.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
