Advances in Brief p16 and p53 Deficiency Cooperate in Tumorigenesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The combined impact of mutations in p16 and p53 was examined in cellular growth, transformation, and tumor formation. In cultured cells, p16 loss enhanced growth at high density and conferred susceptibility to oncogene-induced transformation. In vivo, mice doubly deficient for p16 and p53 showed an increased rate of tumor formation with particular susceptibility to aggressive angiosarcomas. Furthermore, p16 silencing by promoter methylation was detected in tumors derived from p16 / and / mice, independent of p53 status. These data suggest at least one general feature of malignancy, resistance to density-mediated growth arrest depends on p16 rather than p53. This cooperation between p16 and p53 loss in tumorigenesis is consistent with the view that these genes function in distinct anticancer pathways.

p53 Deficiency leads to compensatory up-regulation of p16INK4a.
p53-p21-cyclin-dependent kinase and p16(INK4a)-cyclin-dependent kinase pathways have parallel functions in preventing tumorigenesis. In cancer patients, tumor suppressor p53 is frequently inactivated through mutations, whereas p16(INK4a) is silenced through promoter methylation. However, the interaction between these two pathways is less well understood. Here, we report that p53 controls p16(IN...
متن کاملThe Effect of Eight Weeks of Aerobic Exercise on the Expression of Senescence Proteins P53 and P16 in Pancreatic Tissue of Diabetic Mice
Background: Chronic hyperglycemia is associated with an increase in cellular damage due to oxidative stress and increases insulin resistance and also increases in p53 and p16 beta cells, leading to the induction of senescence in pancreatic insulin-secreting cells. The aim of this study was the effect of eight weeks of aerobic exercise on the expression of senescence proteins P53 and P16 in the ...
متن کاملMutations in the p53 and SCID genes cooperate in tumorigenesis.
DNA damage can cause mutations that contribute to cellular transformation and tumorigenesis. The p53 tumor suppressor acts to protect the organism from DNA damage by inducing either G1 arrest to facilitate DNA repair or by activating physiological cell death (apoptosis). Consistent with this critical function of p53, mice lacking p53 are predisposed to developing tumors, particularly lymphoma. ...

Background and objectives: Uterine smooth muscle tumors are the most common human neoplasms. They are divided clinically as benign and malignant but there is another group of lesions which is difficult to place in these two categories, so-called (STUMP) and differentiation of these tumors on the basis of H&E staining is impossible. The aim of this study was to find a set of distinguishing objec...
متن کاملDeficiency of p53 accelerates mammary tumorigenesis in Wnt-1 transgenic mice and promotes chromosomal instability.
By crossing mice that carry a null allele of p53 with transgenic mice that develop mammary adenocarcinomas under the influence of a Wnt-1 transgene, we have studied the consequences of p53 deficiency in mammary gland neoplasia. In Wnt-1 transgenic mice homozygous for the p53 null allele, tumors appear at an earlier age than in animals heterozygous or wild-type at the p53 locus. About half of th...
