To date, there is no effective therapy for hormone-independent prostate cancer. Therefore, as a new strategy for refractory cancer, gene therapy is showing increasing promise. In this study, we attempted to use a nonviral gene transfer system, in vivo electroporation, in prostate cancer cell PC-3 xenografts with the wild-type p53 (wt-p53) gene, as gene therapy for hormone-independent prostate c...
Therapeutic replacement of the wild-type p53 gene has been pursued as a potential gene therapy strategy in a variety of cancer types; however, some cancer models are resistant to p53 in vivo and in vitro. Therefore, to improve p53 gene therapy, it is important to overcome the resistance to p53-mediated apoptosis. Histone deacetylase inhibitors are a novel class of chemotherapeutic agents that a...
PURPOSE: Most recurrent squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck have a dysfunctional p53 tumor suppressor pathway contributing to treatment resistance. We hypothesized that tumor p53 biomarkers may predict the efficacy of normal p53 delivered by gene therapy in these patients. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Tumor p53 biomarkers were evaluated in 116 patients, including 29 treated with methotrexate ...
Multiple genetic alterations, including inactivation of the p53 and RB genes and loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 3p, occur commonly in small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). To assess the biological significance of p53 inactivation in the development of SCLC, tetracycline (Tc)-inducible p53 expression plasmids were introduced into a SCLC cell line, N417, in which the p53 gene as well as the RB ...
The loss of p53 function is a key event in tumorigenesis. Inactivation of p53 in primary tumors and cell lines is mediated by several molecular mechanisms, including deletions and rearrangements. However, generation of a p53 fusion gene has not yet been reported. Here we report a novel p53/an autosomal homolog of the fragile X mental retardation (FXR2) chimeric gene generated by an interstitial...
Mutations of the p53 gene have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). To examine the role ol'/o.f in skin carcinogenesis, we observed the development of skin cancers in p53 transgenic mice which carry multiple copies of a mutant alÃ-eleof the p53 gene with or without chronic UVB radiation. Thirty-one tumors developed in 19 UV-irradiated p53 transgenic mi...
Mutation of the p53 gene has been associated with treatment failure and poor outcome in various malignancies. It has been suggested that immunohistochemical analysis of p53 and p21Waf1, a downstream target, can be used to screen for p53 gene mutations. We determined the value of immunohistochemical screening for p53 gene mutations as a prognostic marker in a population-based group of B- and T-c...
The p53 protein is a sophisticated transcription factor that regulates dozens of target genes simultaneously in accordance with the cellular circumstances. Although considerable efforts have been made to elucidate the functions of p53-induced genes, a holistic understanding of the orchestrated signaling network repressed by p53 remains elusive. Here, we performed a systematic analysis to identi...
Background and Aim: A single nucleotide polymorphism at codon 72 of the p53 gene alters the p53 protein structure and affects its activity. This polymorphism depends on geographic regions and race. Also its association with some cancers has been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate this polymorphism in well differentiated oral SCC and normal population in the city of Isfahan. Mat...
