Shrnutí:The transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) pathway orchestrates an extensive transcriptional program that is important for many processes in the cell. For example, TGFbeta regulates cell cycle, migration, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. The TGFbeta pathway has a dual role in cancer: it is involved in early-stage tumor suppression but also contributes to tumor progression by promoting invasion. To identify the novel genes involved in TGFbeta pathway signaling, we have performed a functional genetic loss-of-function screen. We screened a small interfering RNA library targeting 700 kinases and kinase-related genes in a TGFbeta-responsive reporter assay. Several genes were identified that upon knockdown could repress the reporter signal; among these are the two cellular receptors for TGFbeta. In addition to these two known components of the TGFbeta pathway, several genes were identified that were previously not linked to the TGFbeta signaling. Knockdown of one of these genes, the IRAK2 kinase, resulted not only in an impaired TGFbeta target gene response but also in a reduction of the nuclear accumulation and phosphorylation of SMAD2. In addition, suppression of interleukin-1R-associated kinase 2 expression led to a partial override of a TGFbeta-induced cell cycle arrest. Our data show that interleukin-1R-associated kinase 2 is a novel and critical component of TGFbeta signaling.
