Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) protein kinase regulates the DNA damage response (DDR) and is associated with cancer suppression. Here we report a cancer-promoting role for ATM. ATM depletion in metastatic cancer cells reduced cell migration and invasion. Transcription analyses identified a gene network, including the chemokine IL-8, regulated by ATM. IL-8 expression required ATM and was re...

The gene mutated in ataxia telangiectasia, ATM, on human chromosome 11q22-q23 is implicated in cell cycle control and DNA repair. Ataxia telangiectasia patients as well as ATM-deficient mice are immune deficient and develop lymphoproliferative disease. Abnormalities in 11q22.3-q23.1 have also been described in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). We analyzed B-CLL samples for loss of he...

Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) plays crucial roles in DNA damage responses, especially with regard to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). However, it appears that ATM can be activated not only by DSB, but also by some changes in chromatin architecture, suggesting potential ATM function in cell cycle control. Here, we found that ATM is involved in timely degradation of Cdt1, a critical replica...

BACKGROUND Ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) gene downexpression has been reported in sporadic breast carcinomas (BC); however, the prognostic value and mechanisms of ATM deregulation remain unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS ATM and miRNAs (miR-26a, miR-26b, miR-203, miR-421, miR-664, miR-576-5p and miR-18a) expression levels were evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) in 52 BC and 3...

Location management is one of the most important aspects in the realization of mobility in wireless networks. Following developments of ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) technology, more core networks become ATM-based. Therefore, the demand of mobility on wireless networks with ATM backbones is increasing. In recent years, several location management schemes have been proposed for classical wire...

Disruption of the mouse Atm gene, whose human counterpart is consistently mutated in ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) patients, creates an A-T mouse model exhibiting most of the A-T-related systematic and cellular defects. While ATM plays a major role in signaling the p53 response to DNA strand break damage, Atm-/- p53(-/-) mice develop lymphomas earlier than Atm-/- or p53(-/-) mice, indicating that...

This paper deals with design and prototyping of mobility support protocols for mobile/wireless ATM networks. Specific ATM UNI/NNI protocol extensions for location management and handoff control are proposed and described in context of existing ATM networks. The viability of these protocols is established via implementation of a proof-ofconcept prototype mobile ATM network. The prototype system ...

We present and discuss measurements performed with XTPX over the European ATM Pilot. The main characteristic of this wide area ATM network is that the traffic contract is enforced by a Usage Parameter Control (UPC) mechanism. When the ATM traffic is compliant with the traffic contract, XTPX achieves a good utilisation of the link. However, when the ATM traffic is not entirely compliant, the UPC...

Cisplatin induces renal cell injury and death, resulting in nephrotoxicity that limits its use in cancer therapy. Using cell culture models, recent work has suggested the involvement of p53 in renal cell apoptosis during cisplatin treatment. However, the signals upstream of p53 remain elusive. ATM and ATR are critical regulators of p53 under various conditions of DNA damage. Here, we show that ...
