The rebel angel: mutant p53 as the driving oncogene in breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most frequent invasive tumor diagnosed in women, causing over 400 000 deaths yearly worldwide. Like other tumors, it is a disease with a complex, heterogeneous genetic and biochemical background. No single genomic or metabolic condition can be regarded as decisive for its formation and progression. However, a few key players can be pointed out and among them is the TP53 tum...
متن کاملGrowth Control: p53, the Guardian Angel of Compensatory Proliferation
Compensatory growth, or regeneration, is used to replace damaged tissue during animal development. Recent work has revealed a new role for Drosophila p53 in the compensatory proliferation of cells that are needed to repair damaged tissues, a role that requires the non-apoptotic function of the caspase protease Dronc.
متن کاملCRISPR-Cas9-based target validation for p53-reactivating model compounds
Inactivation of the p53 tumor suppressor by Mdm2 is one of the most frequent events in cancer, so compounds targeting the p53-Mdm2 interaction are promising for cancer therapy. Mechanisms conferring resistance to p53-reactivating compounds are largely unknown. Here we show using CRISPR-Cas9-based target validation in lung and colorectal cancer that the activity of nutlin, which blocks the p53-b...
متن کاملThe SLC25A1-p53 mutant crosstalk
presence of p53 mutations in human cancers, which occurs with a frequency higher than 50%, is a negative prognostic factor predictive of relapse and of resistance to chemo-and radio-therapy, thus rendering these types of tumors a still unsolved therapeutic challenge. While various compounds have become available for the treatment of tumors expressing other types of "driver" oncogenic mutations,...
متن کاملAnalysis of mutant p53 for MAR-DNA binding: determining the dominant-oncogenic function of mutant p53
At least some mutant p53 proteins not s imply have los t the wild-type p53 specific tumor suppressor function, but exhibit oncogenic functions on their own. Recently we showed that binding of mutant p53 to MAR/SAR elements is an act ivity specif ic for mutant p53 and clearly distinguishable from the previously reported DNA-binding activities of p53. Since MAR/SAR elements are considered to be i...
