Oxidative stress to mammalian cells causes cellular damage and triggers inducible cellular responses leading to cell death by apoptosis. In this paper, we report that p53 was required for programmed cell death induced by oxidative stress in both mouse and human cells and that p53 transactivation was involved in induction of oxidative cell death. Furthermore, we show that p21 was highly responsive to oxidative stress in a p53-dependent manner and that ectopic expression of p21 could increase cellular susceptibility to oxidative stress in the absence of p53. However, p21 was not required for p53-directed oxidative cell death because mouse embryo fibroblasts MEFs lacking p21(p21-/- MEFs) were still susceptible to oxidative cell death. Interestingly, bax, a cell-death mediator regulated by p53, was overexpressed in p21-/- MEFs that underwent cell death by oxidative stress, suggesting a compensation for loss of p21 that may be responsible for the existence of cell-death responses in p21-knockout mouse fibroblasts. Finally, we provide evidence that the retinoblastoma gene product (Rb) is a negative regulator of p21 and a repressor of the cellular apoptotic process. Because p21 is regulated by p53 positively and by Rb negatively, p21 may be a link between p53 and Rb in determining cell fate after oxidative damage. 相似文献

Intact p73 function is shown to be an important determinant of cellular sensitivity to anticancer agents. Inhibition of p73 function by dominant-negative proteins or by mutant p53 abrogates apoptosis and cytotoxicity induced by these agents. A polymorphism encoding either arginine (72R) or proline (72P) at codon 72 of p53 influences inhibition of p73 by a range of p53 mutants identified in squamous cancers. Clinical response following cisplatin-based chemo-radiotherapy for advanced head and neck cancer is influenced by this polymorphism, cancers expressing 72R mutants having lower response rates than those expressing 72P mutants. Polymorphism in p53 may influence individual responsiveness to cancer therapy. 相似文献

In human neuroblastoma (NB), wild type p53 protein does not elicit its archetypal human tumor suppressive activity so far described. To elucidate this alteration, substantial investigations using NB cell lines have underscored p53 protein nuclear localization defect and/or inappropriate conformation, but no definitive evidence has been provided so far. p73, the first homologue of the p53 gene, locates at the 1p36.3 locus, which is known to be deleted in various human tumors including NB. Unlike p53 mRNA, which specifies a single protein, p73alpha mRNAs encode two types of isoform (TAp73alpha and DeltaNp73alpha) resulting from the use of two different promoters, and eliciting or lacking NH(2)-terminal transactivation domain, respectively. DeltaNp73alpha inhibits p53 pro-apoptotic function in murine developing neurons and is abundantly expressed in human undifferentiated NB tumors. However, critical issues have been raised regarding p73alpha isoform roles, and their possible link to p53 are yet to be clarified in human NB using adenoviral infection approach. 相似文献

The binding of MDM2 targets p53, but not p73, for degradation, whereas it suppresses the transactivation function of both proteins. MDM2 also mediates p53 nuclear export, but its role in the regulation of p73 distribution is unknown at the present time. We show here that, in sharp contrast to p53, MDM2 induces p73 to form nuclear aggregates that colocalize with MDM2 but are distinct from the promyelocytic leukemia dots. The MDM2 ring-domain that is necessary for mediating p53 nuclear export is not required for the induction of the p73 nuclear aggregates. Using a domain-swapping approach, we demonstrate that the inability of p73 to nuclear-export is attributable to its nonfunctional nuclear-export sequence. 相似文献

We have previously shown that loss of p53 function in A2780 human ovarian adenocarcinoma cells confers increased clonogenic resistance to several DNA-damaging agents, but not to taxol or camptothecin. We have now extended these studies, comparing wild-type p53-expressing A2780 cells with isogenic derivatives transfected with a dominant negative mutant (143; val to ala) p53. We show that, as well as retaining equivalent clonogenic sensitivity to camptothecin, mutant p53 transfectants of A2780 cells do not acquire significantly increased resistance to the camptothecin analogues topotecan and SN-38, the active metabolite of CPT-11. Compared with vector-alone transfectants they are, however, relatively (2.2-fold) resistant to GI 147211, a further camptothecin analogue undergoing clinical trial. Treatment of A2780 with camptothecin and each analogue produces an increase, maximal at 24-48 h after drug exposure, of cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle and a decrease in both G1 and S-phase cells. The G2 arrest is independent of p53 function for camptothecin and the three analogues. All four compounds can induce apoptosis in A2780, which is reduced in mutant p53 transfectants, as measured using the terminal DNA transferase-mediated b-d UTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) assay. Thus, although p53-dependent apoptosis is induced by camptothecin, topotecan and SN-38 in this human ovarian carcinoma cell line, these drugs induce p53-independent death, as measured by clonogenic assay. 相似文献

Analysis of p73 and p53 gene deletions in multiple myeloma. 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Recently, p73, a protein with structural and functional similarities to p53, an extensively studied tumor suppressor gene, has been cloned. After being mapped to the chromosomal region 1p35-1p36, it has been postulated to act as a tumor suppressor gene, too, as this region is altered in several human malignancies. Deletions of the short arm of chromosome 1 have frequently been described in multiple myeloma (MM) whereas structural abnormalities of the 17p13 region including p53 are rare events in this disease. Since it has been proposed that especially neoplasias lacking p53 alterations might show a loss of heterozygosity at 1p35-1p36, we studied the frequency of p53 and p73 deletions in bone marrow mononuclear cells of 68 patients with MM, two patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and four patients with plasma cell leukemia. Dual-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for p53 and p73 was performed using commercially available DNA probes for 17p13.3 and the microsatellite marker D1Z2, respectively. Centromeric DNA probes served to distinguish gene deletions from whole chromosome losses. In contrast to recently published FISH results, we only detected heterozygous p53 deletions in eight out of the 74 patients, three of them showing a monosomy 17. Heterozygous deletions of the D1Z2 region at 1p36 were found in six cases with one patient having a monosomy 1. Neither homozygous deletions of either chromosomal region nor nullisomies 1 or 17 could be detected. These results argue against a major role of p73 deletions in MM. As MM patients with 1p structural abnormalities have a significantly poorer survival rate than those with normal karyotypes, the role of other putative tumor suppressor genes located at the chromosomal region 1p36 in the pathogenesis of MM has to be determined. 相似文献
