Abnormal expression pattern of the ASPP family of proteins in human non-small cell lung cancer and regulatory functions on apoptosis through p53 by iASPP

Abstract: Abstract. The p53 protein is one of the best-known tumor suppressors. Recently discovered ASPP1 and ASPP2 are specific activators and iASPP is an inhibitor of p53. In the present study, we found that of 37 NSCLC patients, p53 alterations were detected in 20 tumors (54.1%), the mRNA expression of ASPP1 and ASPP2 was frequently dowregulated in tumor tissues, and this decreased significantly in samples expressing wild-type p53. The expression of ASPP1 and ASPP2 was downregulated and that of iASPP was upregulated … Show more

“…ASPP2 is commonly considered a tumor suppressor, and its expression is often reduced in malignant tumors [14, 24, 25]. However, inconsistent with previous reports, our results indicated that ASPP2 expression was significantly increased in ESCCs as compared with noncancerous tissues, suggesting that ASPP2 might be involved in ESCC tumorigenesis.…”

“…Downregulation of the expression of iASPP by shRNA inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis of p53-defective prostate cancer cells. Existing data regarding the involvement of iASPP in tumor metastasis also suggests thatit may have potential as a therapeutic target [6, 13]. …”

“…Thus, TP53BP1 has a role in checkpoint signaling during mitosis, enhances TP53-mediated transcriptional activation and plays a role in the response to DNA damage [18,19]. TP53BP2 is a member of the ASPP (apoptosis-stimulating protein of p53) family of TP53 interacting proteins which are down regulated in tumor tissues and is required for the induction of apoptosis by TP53-family proteins [16]. TP53BP2 protein promotes DNA binding and transactivation of TP53-family proteins on the promoters of pro-apoptotic genes.…”
