Scientific Background: Pim2 is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the CAMK group and PIM family. The Pim2 protein, along with the related Pim1 and Pim3 proteins, promotes cell survival and proliferation by acting downstream of cytokine and growth factor signalling pathways. It regulates Myc transcription and stabilization by phosphorylation. It also prevents apoptosis by phosphorylating and inactivating the proapoptotic protein Bad. It induces cell survival and proliferation signals via NF-KB cascade and phosphorylation and inhibition of CDKN1A and CDKN1B. Dysregulation of PIM2 can promote cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis and oncogenesis. The very low frequency of reported somatic mutations in this protein indicates that it may function as a tumour requiring protein (TRP) in many human tumours. Although it is considered as an oncoprotein (OP), it shows a level of bystander mutations typical of most proteins in human cancers. The active form of the protein kinase normally acts to promote tumour cell proliferation. Pim2 is linked to Mantle Cell Lymphomas (LCM), which are non-Hodgkin lymphomas in which is specifically a B-cell lymphoma is also associated the ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) gene.
