Chronic p53-independent p21 expression causes genomic instability by deregulating replication licensing
Open accessAbstract
The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21(WAF1/CIP1) (p21) is a cell-cycle checkpoint effector and inducer of senescence, regulated by p53. Yet, evidence suggests that p21 could also be oncogenic, through a mechanism that has so far remained obscure. We report that a subset of atypical cancerous cells strongly expressing p21 showed proliferation features. This occurred predominantly in p53-mutant human cancers, suggesting p53-independent upregulation of p21 selectively in more aggressive tumour cells. Multifaceted phenotypic and genomic analyses of p21-inducible, p53-null, cancerous and near-normal cellular models showed that after an initial senescence-like phase, a subpopulation of p21-expressing proliferating cells emerged, featuring increased genomic instability, aggressiveness and chemoresistance. Mechanistically, sustained p21 accumulation inhibited mainly the CRL4-CDT2 ubiquitin ligase, leading to deregulated origin licensing and replication stress. Collectively, our data reveal the tumour-promoting ability of p21 through deregulation of DNA replication licensing machinery-an unorthodox role to be considered in cancer treatment, since p21 responds to various stimuli including some chemotherapy drugs.

“Although the senescence cell-cycle arrest is generally irreversible, cell-cycle re-entry can occur under certain circumstances, particularly in tumor cells (Galanos et al., 2016; Milanovic et al., 2018; Patel et al., 2016; Saleh et al., 2019) (Figure 2).”

“Because p21 overexpression caused the downregulation of RAD51 [71], DSBs were processed by error-prone pathways, including RAD52-dependent break-induced replication (BIR) and single-strand annealing (SSA) [75], and possibly nonhomologous end-joining [71].”

“Because both rereplication and error-prone DSB repair fuel genomic instability, these observations indicate a pro-oncogenic role of p21, at least in p53-negative cancer [71,75].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
