Blinded by the Light: The Growing Complexity of p53.
Vousden KH, Prives C
While the tumor suppressor functions of p53 have long been recognized, the contribution of p53 to numerous other aspects of disease and normal life is only now being appreciated. This burgeoning range of responses to p53 is reflected by an increasing variety of mechanisms through which p53 can function, although the ability to activate transcription remains key to p53's modus operandi. Control of p53's transcriptional activity is crucial for determining which p53 response is activated, a decision we must understand if we are to exploit efficiently the next generation of drugs that selectively activate or inhibit p53.

Induction of apoptosis by wild-type p53 in a human colon tumor-derived cell line.
Shaw P, Bovey R, Tardy S, Sahli R, Sordat B, Costa J
A wild-type p53 gene under control of the metallothionein MT-1 promoter was stably transfected into human colon tumor-derived cell line EB. Repeated inductions of the metallothionein wild-type p53 gene with zinc chloride results in progressive detachment of wild-type p53 cells grown on culture dishes. Examination at both the light and electron microscopic level revealed that cells expressing wild-type p53 developed morphological features of apoptosis. DNA from both attached and detached cells was degraded into a ladder of nucleosomal-sized fragments. Expression of wild-type p53 inhibited colony formation in soft agar and tumor formation in nude mice. Furthermore, established tumors in nude mice underwent regression if wild-type p53 expression was subsequently induced. Regressing tumors showed histological features of apoptosis. Thus, regression of these tumors was the result of apoptosis occurring in vivo. Apoptosis may be a normal part of the terminal differentiation program of colonic epithelial cells. Our results suggest that wild-type p53 could play a critical role in this process. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1992 May 15;89(10):4495-9.

Hematopoietic cells from mice deficient in wild-type p53 are more resistant to induction of apoptosis by some agents.
Lotem J, Sachs L
Wild-type p53 is a tumor-suppressor gene that can induce cell death by apoptosis when expressed in myeloid leukemic and some other types of tumor cells. However, the question remained as to what extent wild-type p53 is a mediator of apoptosis in normal cells. We have used mice deficient in wild-type p53 to determine whether induction of apoptosis in hematopoietic cells from these p53 deficient mice is defective. We show here that bone marrow myeloid progenitor cells from p53-deficient mice are more resistant to induction of apoptosis when there was only a low concentration of the viability factors granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; interleukins-1 alpha, -3, and -6; or stem cell factor; or when apoptosis was induced in these cells by irradiation or heat shock. The loss of one allele of wild-type p53 was sufficient for increased resistance. The higher resistance to apoptosis in p53-deficient mice was also found in irradiated thymocytes, but not in thymocytes treated with dexamethasone or in mature peritoneal granulocytes. The degree of resistance in irradiated myeloid progenitors and thymocytes showed a dosage effect of the number of wild-type p53 genes. The results show that wild-type p53 is involved in the induction of apoptosis by some agents in normal hematopoietic cells. Loss of wild-type p53 can, therefore, contribute to tumor development by decreasing cell death at low concentrations of viability factors and after exposure to a DNA-damaging agent. The results also show that there are wild-type p53-dependent and -independent pathways of normal cell apoptosis. Blood. 1993 Aug 15;82(4):1092-6.
