Transforming Acidic Coiled Coil 1 Promotes Transformation and Mammary Tumorigenesis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Transforming acidic coiled coil 1 (TACC1) is a putative oncogene located within a breast cancer amplicon found on human chromosome 8p11. Although TACC1 has been reported to transform fibroblasts, it is also down-regulated in a subset of mammary tumors treated with anthracyclin. Here, we show that ectopic TACC1 overexpression can cooperate with Ras to induce focus formation in murine fibroblast cultures and prevent death caused by overexpression of Pten or a dominant-negative form of protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt. In transgenic mice carrying TACC1 under the control of the mouse mammary tumor virus promoter, TACC1 expression reduced apoptosis during mammary gland involution, increased the penetrance of mammary tumors in a pten+/- background, and decreased the average age of mammary tumor onset in a mouse model based on a phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K)-decoupled mutant of polyoma middle T. Elevated levels of both phospho-PKB and phospho-extracellular signal-regulated kinase were found in mammary tissue containing the TACC1 transgene. Thus, TACC1 positively regulates the Ras and PI3K pathways, promotes Ras-mediated transformation, and prevents apoptosis induced by PI3K pathway inhibition. TACC1 also cooperates with tumorigenic mutations in the PI3K pathway and thereby plays an oncogenic role in tumor formation in the murine mammary gland.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
