BID regulation by p53 contributes to chemosensitivity

Abstract

The role of the p53 protein (encoded by TP53) in tumour suppression relies partly on the ability of p53 to regulate the transcription of genes that are important in cell-cycle arrest and in apoptosis. But the apoptotic pathway mediated by p53 is not fully understood. Here we show that BID, a member of the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family of proteins, is regulated by p53. BID mRNA is increased in a p53-dependent manner in vitro and in vivo, with strong expression in the splenic red pulp and colonic epithelium of gamma-irradiated mice. Both the human and the mouse BID genomic loci contain p53-binding DNA response elements that bind p53 and mediate p53-dependent transactivation of a reporter gene. In addition, BID-null mouse embryonic fibroblasts are more resistant than are wild-type fibroblasts to the DNA damaging agent adriamycin and the nucleotide analogue 5-fluorouracil, both of which stabilize endogenous p53. Our results indicate that BID is a p53-responsive 'chemosensitivity gene' that may enhance the cell death response to chemotherapy.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • BCL2 and BID are reported as p53 targets but are not directly regulated by p53 according to meta-analysis data.

    “Additional BCL-2 family members reported as p53 targets include BCL2190, 191 and BID192—but these are not directly regulated by p53 according to meta-analysis data18 (Supplementary Table S2).”

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.
