AbstractTumor cells require nominal increases in protein synthesis in order to maintain high proliferation rates. As such, tumor cells must acquire enhanced ribosome production. How the numerous mutations in tumor cells ultimately achieve this aberrant production is largely unknown. The gene encoding ARF is the most commonly deleted gene in human cancer. ARF plays a significant role in regulating ribosomal RNA synthesis and processing, ribosome export into the cytoplasm, and global protein synthesis. Utilizing ribosome profiling, we show that ARF is a major suppressor of 5′-terminal oligopyrimidine mRNA translation. Genes with increased translational efficiency following loss of ARF include many ribosomal proteins and translation factors. Knockout of p53 largely phenocopies ARF loss, with increased protein synthesis and expression of 5′-TOP encoded proteins. The 5′-TOP regulators eIF4G1 and LARP1 are upregulated in Arf- and p53-null cells.

Genes with increased translational efficiency following loss of ARF include many ribosomal proteins and translation factors. Knockout of p53 caused a similar increase in 5’-TOP mRNA translation. The 5’-TOP regulators mTORC1, eIF4G1 and LARP1 are dysregulated in ARF and p53 null cells.

Mice infected with Trypanosoma cruzi were challenged with 2x10[raised to the power of 6] cells of sarcoma 180 (ascite tumor) by i.p. route, on day seven post infection. Tumor development was followed by evaluation of weight gain, by measurement of ascitic fluid produced and enumeration of tumor cells in ascitic fluid. Infected mice were more resitant to tumor development as demonstrated by reduction in ascites formation and by reduction in the number of tumor cells in ascitic fluid, at different time intervals after tumor challenge. The number of peritoneal cells exsudated after tumor inoculation was greater in infected mice than in controls. This increased resitance of mice infected with T. cruzi to tumor development could be due to the action of macrophages activated by the infection and by the action of endotoxins absorbed from the gut or produced by the own parasite.

Normal and cancerous mice were injected with 1-aminocyclopentane C14-carboxylic acid and the distribution of the drug in the animals was studied by autoradiography. In normal mice, the amino acid is concentrated selectively by the pancreas and the bone marrow. In cancerous mice (Ehrlich ascites tumor and sarcoma-180), the tumor cells also intensively accumulate the amino acid.
