Abstract:In vivo, tyrosine phosphorylation is a reversible and dynamic process governed by the opposing activities of protein tyrosine kinases and phosphatases. Defective or inappropriate operation of these proteins leads to aberrant tyrosine phosphorylation, which contributes to the development of many human diseases, including cancers. PTP1B, a non-transmembrane phosphatase, is generally considered a negative regulator of the metabolic signaling pathways and a promising drug target for type II diabetes and obesity. Recently, PTP1B is gaining considerable interest due to its important function and therapeutic potential in other diseases. An increasing number of studies have indicated that PTP1B plays a vital role in the initiation and progression of cancers and could be a target for new cancer therapies. Following recent advances in the aspects mentioned above, this review is focused on the major functions of PTP1B in different types of cancer and the underlying mechanisms behind these functions, as well as the potential pharmacological effects of PTP1B inhibitors in cancer therapy.

Obesity and metabolic syndrome represent major public health problems, and are the biggest preventable causes of death worldwide. Obesity is the leading risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular diseases and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Obesity-associated insulin resistance, which is characterized by reduced uptake and utilization of glucose in muscle, adipose and liver tissues, is a key predictor of metabolic syndrome and T2DM. With increasing prevalence of obesity in adults and children, the need to identify and characterize potential targets for treating metabolic syndrome is imminent. Emerging evidence from animal models, clinical studies and cell lines studies suggest that protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), an enzyme that negatively regulates insulin signaling, is likely to be involved in the pathways leading to insulin resistance. PTP1B is tethered to the cytosolic surface of endoplasmic reticulum (ER), an organelle that is responsible for folding, modification, and trafficking of proteins. Recent evidence links the disruption of ER homeostasis, referred to as ER stress, to the pathogenesis of obesity and T2DM. PTP1B has been recognized as an important player linking ER stress and insulin resistance in obese subjects. This review highlights recent advances in the research related to the role of PTP1B in signal transduction processes implicated in pathophysiology of obesity and type 2 diabetes, and focuses on the potential therapeutic exploitation of PTP1B inhibitors for the management of these conditions.

AIMThe aim of the present study was to discover novel protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors. We expressed and purified the human PTP1B catalytic domain and set up a molecular level high-throughput screening (HTS) assay to screen a set of 48,000 pure compounds.RESULTSHTS was finished with an averaged Zo factor of 0.63, and LGH00081, a competitive inhibitor of PTP1B with novel structure and relatively good selectivity for receptor-type protein tyrosine phosphatases, was identified.CONCLUSIONWe established a molecular level assay which is useful for the screening of PTP1B inhibitors with therapeutic potential. The novel competitive PTP1B inhibitor LGH00081 offers a good start for structure modification and cellular functional activity study.
