Abstract
The inhibitor of growth (ING) family of tumor suppressors has five members and is implicated in the control of apoptosis, senescence, DNA repair, and cancer progression. However, little is known about ING activity in the regulation of cancer progression. ING members and splice variants seem to behave differently with respect to cancer invasion and metastasis. Interaction with histone trimethylated at lysine 4 (H3K4me3), hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), p53, and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) are potential mechanisms by which ING members exert effects on invasion and metastasis. Subcellular mislocalization, rapid protein degradation, and to a lesser extent ING gene mutation are among the mechanisms responsible for inappropriate ING levels in cancer cells. The aim of this review is to summarize the different roles of ING family tumor suppressors in cancer progression and the molecular mechanisms involved.
