Reactivation of mutant p53: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential

Selivanova, G, Wiman, K G·2007·Oncogene

Abstract

The p53 tumor suppressor gene is the most frequently mutated gene in cancer. Most p53 mutations are missense point mutations that cluster in the DNA-binding core domain. This results in distortion of core domain folding and disruption of DNA binding and transcriptional transactivation of p53 target genes. Structural studies have demonstrated that mutant p53 core domain unfolding is not irreversible. Mutant p53 is expressed at high levels in many tumors. Therefore, mutant p53 is a promising target for novel cancer therapy. Mutant p53 reactivation will restore p53-dependent apoptosis, resulting in efficient removal of tumor cells. A number of strategies for targeting mutant p53 have been designed, including peptides and small molecules that restore the active conformation and DNA binding to mutant p53 and induce p53-dependent suppression of tumor cell growth in vitro and in vivo. This opens possibilities for the clinical application of mutant p53 reactivation in the treatment of cancer.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

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?

  • Many of the deleterious side effects of genotoxic chemotherapies could actually result from chemoresistance arising from p53 mutations.

    “since many of the deleterious side effects of genotoxic chemotherapies could actually result from chemoresistance arising from p53 mutations [50].”

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.
