p53 is a well-known tumor suppressor that is mutated in over 50% of human cancers. These mutations were shown to exhibit gain of oncogenic function compared with the deletion of the gene. Additionally, p53 has fundamental roles in differentiation and development; nevertheless, mutant p53 mice are viable and develop malignant tumors only on adulthood. We set out to reveal the mechanisms by which...
The continuous exposure of antimicrotubule drugs to tumors often results in the emergence of drug-resistant tumor cells with altered expression of several beta-tubulin isotypes. We found that Vinca alkaloid enhanced expression of class II beta-tubulin isotype (mTUBB2) in mouse B16F10 melanoma cells via alteration of the tumor suppressor p53 protein. Vincristine treatment stimulated an increase ...
Recent studies have indicated that angiogenesis may be regulated, in part, by p53 tumor suppressor gene function. We hypothesized that wild-type p53 replacement would down-regulate vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and inhibit angiogenesis. KM12L4 and SW620, human colon cancer cell lines with p53 mutations, were transduced with a replication-defective adenoviral vector contai...
Objectives and Background: Mutation directed inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene p53 have been found incountries with high frequency for hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). Our goal in the present study was screening of the p53 gene in tumor tissues from HCC affected individuals in southwest Iran for putative mutations in exons 7 and 8 that are known as hot spot regions. Materials & Met...
Tumorigenesis is characterized by a series of genetic alterations in both dominant oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. A hallmark of tumor suppressor genes is that both alleles are generally altered during transformation, which usually represents a loss of function phenotype. The p53 tumor suppressor gene is the most frequently affected gene detected in human cancer. There is now growing evid...
The transcription factor and tumor suppressor protein p53 is frequently inactivated in human cancers. In many cases, p53 gene mutations result in high levels of inactive, full-length p53 protein with one amino acid change in the core domain that recognizes p53 DNA-binding sites. The ability to endow function to mutated p53 proteins would dramatically improve cancer therapy, because it would rea...
TP53 acts as a tumor suppressor in cancer. It induces cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in response to cellular stress and damage. p53 gene alteration could cause uncontrolled cell proliferation.In the present study, we used TP53 gene as the seed in the construction of a protein-protein functional association network to identify genes that might involve in tumorgenesis process with TP53. TP53 prot...
p53 is a pivotal tumor suppressor and a major barrier against cancer. We now report that silencing of the Hippo pathway tumor suppressors LATS1 and LATS2 in nontransformed mammary epithelial cells reduces p53 phosphorylation and increases its association with the p52 NF-κB subunit. Moreover, it partly shifts p53's conformation and transcriptional output toward a state resembling cancer-associat...
Type I strains of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) possess a pathogenicity island, cag, that encodes the effector protein cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) and a type four secretion system. After translocation into the host cell, CagA affects cell shape, increases cell motility, abrogates junctional activity, and promotes an epithelial to mesenchymal transition-like phenotype. Transgenic expression of...
The p53 tumor suppressor protein has been implicated as a mediator of programmed cell death (PCD). A series of nontransformed mammary epithelial cell (MEC) lines were used to correlate p53 function with activation of PCD. Treatment of MECs expressing mutant, inactive, or no p53 with DNA-damaging agents did not induce apoptosis. Upon introduction of temperature-sensitive p53 into HC11 cells, whi...
