Abstract:
:The p53 oncosuppressor is strictly maintained in an inactive form under normal conditions, while it is post-translationally activated by a variety of stresses, enacting different protective biological functions. Since one critical issue in cancer gene therapy is tumor specificity, we asked whether the tight p53 regulation applies also to exogenously transferred p53. In principle, this type of regulation could allow p53 gene transfer in both normal and tumor cells to produce detrimental effects only in the latter ones. Here, we report that primary bone marrow cells infected with a p53 recombinant retrovirus and transplanted into irradiated mice reconstitute the hematopoietic system, with no detectable alterations in any of its compartments. Furthermore, simultaneous infection of leukemia and bone marrow cells depleted the neoplastic contamination, allowing lifelong, disease-free survival of 65% of the transplanted animals. These results show that exogenous p53 is controlled as tightly as the endogenous one, and opens the way to p53 gene therapy, without requiring tumor targeting.

ONCOGENE文献大全abstract::The role of TGF-β signaling in tumorigenesis is paradoxical: it can be tumor suppressive or tumor promotional, depending on context. The metastatic regulator, Six1, was recently shown to mediate this switch, providing a novel means to explain this elusive 'TGF-β paradox'. Herein, we identify a mechanism by which Six1 ...
