Annexin A2 Regulates AKT Upon H2O2-Dependent Signaling Activation in Cancer Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a main second messenger in oncogenic signaling networks including the Ras and the growth factor receptor pathways. This is achieved predominantly through the oxidation of redox-sensitive cysteine (Cys) residues in proteins resulting in changes to their structure and function. We previously identified annexin A2 (ANXA2) as a redox regulatory protein that plays an important cellular role during oxidative stress and also promoting tumorigenesis. Here we investigated the role of ANXA2 in the regulation of H₂O₂-dependent signaling that drives tumor progression. We show that depletion of ANXA2 leads to the enhanced activation of AKT following either EGF/EGFR stimulation or oncogenic Ras transformation. The phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) protein negatively regulates the PI3K/AKT pathway. We demonstrate that ANXA2 via its reactive Cys-8 residue, binds to PTEN and that the co-expression of PTEN and ANXA2, but not ANXA2 Cys-8-Ala mutant, inhibits AKT phosphorylation on Ser 473. These results indicate that ANXA2 is important for PTEN regulation within the PI3K/AKT signaling cascade. Furthermore, we also reveal that ANXA2 inversely regulates the expression of the peroxidase, peroxiredoxin 2, in a reactive oxygen species dependent manner.

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.
