Mdm2 gene amplification occurs in benign and chemotherapy-responsive malignant tumors with wtp53 genes as well as in breast and epithelial cancers. Mdm2 amplification in benign tumors suggests that it is not sufficient for p53 inactivation in cancer, implying that other defects in the p53 pathway are required for malignancy. We investigated mechanisms of wtp53 protein inactivation in malignant conversion of epithelial cells by comparing clonally related initiated cells with their derivative cancerous cells that have mdm2 amplification. Deficiencies in p53 accumulation and activities in response to DNA damage were not due simply to Mdm2 destabilization of p53 protein, but to continued association of DNA-bound p53 with Mdm2 protein and lack of binding and acetylation by p300 protein. The aberrant interactions were not because of mdm2 amplification alone, because DNA-bound p53 protein from initiated cells failed to bind ectopically expressed Mdm2 or endogenous overexpressed Mdm2 from cancerous cells. Phosphorylations of endogenous p53 at Ser18, -23, or -37 were insufficient to dissociate Mdm2, because each was induced by UV in cancerous cells. Interestingly, phospho-mimic p53-T21E did dissociate the Mdm2 protein from DNA-bound p53 and recovered p300 binding and p21 induction in the cancerous cells. Thus wtp53 in malignant cells with mdm2 amplification can be inactivated by continued association of DNA-bound p53 protein with Mdm2 and failure of p300 binding and acetylation, coupled with a defect in p53 phosphorylation at Thr21. These findings suggest therapeutic strategies that address both p53/Mdm2 interaction and associated p53 protein defects in human tumors that have amplified mdm2 genes. 相似文献

Murine double minute 2 (Mdm2) is a critical component of the responses to both ionizing and UV radiation. The level of Mdm2 expression determines the extent to which radiation induces an increase in the activity of the p53 tumor suppressor. Mdm2 acts as a survival factor in many cell types by limiting the apoptotic function of p53. In addition, expression of mdm2 is induced in response to DNA damage, and the resulting high levels of Mdm2 protein are thought to shorten the length of the cell cycle arrest established by p53 in the radiation response. Increased levels of Mdm2 appear to ensure that the activity of p53 returns to its low basal levels in surviving cells. Decreased levels of Mdm2 sensitize cells to ionizing radiation. Thus, Mdm2 is a potential target for therapeutic intervention because its inhibition may radiosensitize the subset of human tumors expressing wild-type p53 such that radiotherapy is more efficacious. 相似文献

Mutation of the p53 gene is a common event during tumor pathogenesis. Other mechanisms, such as mdm2 amplification, provide alternative routes through which dysfunction of the p53 pathway is promoted. Here, we address the hypothesis that elevated expression of pim oncogenes might suppress p53 by regulating Mdm2. At a physiological level, we show that endogenous Pim-1 and Pim-2 interact with endogenous Mdm2. Additionally, the Pim kinases phosphorylate Mdm2 in vitro and in cultured cells at Ser(166) and Ser(186), two previously identified targets of other signaling pathways, including Akt. Surprisingly, at high levels of Pim expression, as would occur in tumors, active, but not inactive, Pim-1 or Pim-2 blocks the degradation of both p53 and Mdm2 in a manner that is independent of Mdm2 phosphorylation, leading to increased p53 levels and, proportionately, p53-dependent transactivation. Additionally, Pim-1 induces endogenous ARF, p53, Mdm2, and p21 in primary murine embryo fibroblasts and stimulates senescence-associated beta-galactosidase levels, consistent with the induction of senescence. Immunohistochemical analysis of a cohort of 33 human mantle cell lymphomas shows that elevated expression of Pim-1 occurs in 42% of cases, with elevated Pim-2 occurring in 9% of cases, all of which also express Pim-1. Notably, elevated Pim-1 correlates with elevated Mdm2 in MCL with a p value of 0.003. Taken together, our data are consistent with the idea that Pim normally interacts with the p53 pathway but, when expressed at pathological levels, behaves as a classic dominant oncogene that stimulates a protective response through induction of the p53 pathway. 相似文献

Opposing effects of Ras on p53: transcriptional activation of mdm2 and induction of p19ARF 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20

Mdm2 acts as a major regulator of the tumor suppressor p53 by targeting its destruction. Here, we show that the mdm2 gene is also regulated by the Ras-driven Raf/MEK/MAP kinase pathway, in a p53-independent manner. Mdm2 induced by activated Raf degrades p53 in the absence of the Mdm2 inhibitor p19ARF. This regulatory pathway accounts for the observation that cells transformed by oncogenic Ras are more resistant to p53-dependent apoptosis following exposure to DNA damage. Activation of the Ras-induced Raf/MEK/MAP kinase may therefore play a key role in suppressing p53 during tumor development and treatment. In primary cells, Raf also activates the Mdm2 inhibitor p19ARF. Levels of p53 are therefore determined by opposing effects of Raf-induced p19ARF and Mdm2. 相似文献

Mdm2, as the most important negative regulator of p53, plays an important homeostatic role in regulating cell division and the cellular response to DNA damage, oncogenic insult, and other forms of cellular stress. We discovered that the DNA damaging agent adriamycin (doxorubicin) induces a novel aberrantly spliced Mdm2 mRNA which incorporates 108bp of intronic sequence not normally found in the Mdm2 mature mRNA. Accordingly, we term this Mdm2 splice variant Mdm2+108. Importantly, this insertion introduces in-frame nonsense codons, thus encoding a profoundly truncated mdm2 protein lacking the C-terminal RING finger domain and the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. A wide range of pharmacological testing revealed that Mdm2+108 is induced, in mouse and rat cells, in specific response to Adriamycin and actinomycin D, but not other modes of DNA damage. Meanwhile, antibodies against the N-terminal region of mdm2 reveal a marked reduction in detectable mdm2 protein upon Adriamycin treatment, while p53 accumulates to strikingly high levels. We thus conclude that this alternative spicing of Mdm2 may be an important mechanism to facilitate massive accumulation of p53 in response to genotoxic agents. 相似文献

p53 is a potent inhibitor of cell growth and an inducer of apoptosis. During embryonic development, Mdm2 and Mdm4 inhibit the growth suppressive activities of p53. However, whether tight surveillance of p53 activity is required in quiescent cells is unknown. To test this, conditional inactivation of mdm2 and mdm4 was carried out in smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Upon SMC-specific inactivation of mdm2, and not of mdm4, mice rapidly became ill and died. Necropsy showed small intestinal dilation, and histological analyses indicated a severe reduction in the number of intestinal SMCs. Increased p53 levels and activity were detected in the remaining SMCs, and the phenotype was completely rescued on a p53-null background. Interestingly, intestinal SMCs are caspase-3-negative and therefore did not undergo caspase-3-dependent apoptotic cell death. Together, Mdm2, but not Mdm4, prevents accumulation of active p53 in quiescent SMCs and thereby the induction of p53-mediated caspase-3-independent cell death. 相似文献
