AKAP12 (A-Kinase anchoring protein 12) is a protein kinase C substrate and a potential tumor suppressor. AKAP12 is down-regulated by several oncogenes and strongly suppressed in various cancers including prostate, ovarian and breast cancers. AKAP12 acts as a regulator of mitogenesis by anchoring key signal proteins such as PKA, PKC, and cyclins. In this study, AKAP12 was found to suppress tumor cell viability by inducing apoptosis via caspase-3 in HT1080 cells. This AKAP12-induced apoptosis was associated with a decreased expression of Bcl-2 and increased expression of Bax. Moreover, AKAP12-transfectant strongly induced the expression of Cip1/p21 and Kip1/p27, but resulted in a decrease in cyclin D1 involved in G(1) progression. Accordingly, these results suggest that AKAP12 may play an important role in tumor growth suppression by inducing apoptosis with the regulation of multiple molecules in the cell cycle progression.
