Chaperoning of Mutant p53 Protein by Wild-type p53 Protein Causes Hypoxic Tumor Regression

Abstract: Background: Hypoxia-induced p53 is transcriptionally inactive, and its molecular conformation and functional status in hypoxic tumors are unknown. Results: WT p53 exists in mutant conformation in hypoxic tumors, and its conformation is oxygen-dependent. WT p53 functions as a molecular chaperone. Conclusion: WT p53 chaperones and rescues mutant p53 in hypoxic tumors. Significance: p53 chaperone therapy causes regression of hypoxic tumor xenografts through WT p53 chaperone activity.

“…Several clinical trials have been based on strategies to reintroduce wildtype P53 copies into cancerous tissues (27)(28)(29). In addition, there have been several clinical attempts to use molecular chaperones that can rescue wildtype P53 (30)(31)(32)(33). Because of the oncogenic role of mutant P53 (3,26), reactivation of transcriptionally inactive mutant P53 is a promising approach to cancer therapy (30).…”

“…For hypoxic exposure, cells were placed into a humidified chamber maintained at 1.8% O 2 and 5% CO 2 (balance N 2 ) for 24 h, as described previously (18,19,21). The oxygen level in the chamber was monitored with an oxygen analyzer (Vascular Technology).…”

“…Hypoxia-induced p53 fails to transactivate its target genes (55). Wild-type p53 has been shown to function as a molecular chaperone and to rescue mutant p53 in hypoxic tumors and subsequently cause tumor regression (56). There are multiple contradictory reports on reciprocal interaction of p53 with hypoxic signaling (39,54,(57)(58)(59)(60).…”
