Abstract: | HER2 oncogene overexpression has been associated either with proliferation or differentiation and apoptosis. The role of p53 on these different chances was investigated. Wild type (wt) p53-IGROV1 cells showed growth inhibition and apoptosis after HER2 transfection, whereas no anti-proliferative effect was observed in its mutated p53 sub-line unless wt p53 was cotransfected with HER2. Stable HER2 transfectants derived from wt p53 line treated with heregulin-beta1 or epidermal growth factor showed a decrease in proliferation due to a G(2)/M cell cycle block despite normal mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. In these HER2 transfectants, c-Myc and p53 expression were increased, whereas MDM2 was dramatically down-modulated. By contrast, growth factors stimulation of HER2 transfectants with mutated-p53 induced progression through the cell cycle. Together, our data point to a regulatory role for p53 in HER2 signaling. |
