The tumor suppressor p53 has been implicated in apoptosis induction and is mutated in human T-ALL CCRF-CEM cells. To investigate possible consequences of wild-type p53 loss, we reconstituted CEM-C7H2, a subclone of CCRF-CEM, with a temperature-sensitive p53 allele (p53ts). Stably transfected lines expressed high levels of p53ts and shift to the permissive temperature (32 degrees C) caused rapid induction of p53-regulated genes, such as p21(CIP1/WAF1), mdm-2 and bax. This was followed by extensive apoptosis within 24 h to 36 h, supporting the notion that mutational p53 inactivation contributed to the malignant phenotype. p53-dependent apoptosis was preceded by digestion of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, a typical target of interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme (ICE)-like proteases/caspases, and was markedly resistant to the ICE/caspase-1 and FLICE/caspase-8 inhibitor acetyl-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp.chloromethylketone (YVAD), but sensitive to the CPP32/caspase-3 inhibitor benzyloxycarbonyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp.fluoromethylketone (DEVD) and benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp.fluoromethylketone (zVAD), a caspase inhibitor with broader specificity. This indicated an essential involvement of caspases, but argued against a significant role of ICE/caspase-1 or FLICE/caspase-8. Actinomycin D or cycloheximide prevented cell death, suggesting that, in this system, p53-induced apoptosis depends upon macromolecule biosynthesis. Introduction of functional p53 into CEM cells enhanced their sensitivity to the DNA-damaging agent doxorubicin, but not to the tubulin-active compound vincristine. Thus, mutational p53 inactivation in ALL might entail relative resistance to DNA-damaging, but not to tubulin-destabilizing, chemotherapy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm.

D011500 Protein Synthesis Inhibitors Compounds which inhibit the synthesis of proteins. They are usually ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS or toxins. Mechanism of the action of inhibition includes the interruption of peptide-chain elongation, the blocking the A site of ribosomes, the misreading of the genetic code or the prevention of the attachment of oligosaccharide side chains to glycoproteins.

D003609 Dactinomycin A compound composed of a two CYCLIC PEPTIDES attached to a phenoxazine that is derived from STREPTOMYCES parvullus. It binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines after dactinomycin therapy.
