Control of Angiogenesis in Fibroblasts by p53 Regulation of Thrombospondin-1

Abstract: As normal cells progress toward malignancy, they must switch to an angiogenic phenotype to attract the nourishing vasculature that they depend on for their growth. In cultured fibroblasts from Li-Fraumeni patients, this switch was found to coincide with loss of the wild-type allele of the p53 tumor suppressor gene and to be the result of reduced expression of thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis. Transfection assays revealed that p53 can stimulate the endogenous TSP-1 gene and positivel… Show more

“…67,68 The finding here, that the expression of neither TSP -1 nor IGF -BP3 is significantly altered in Av1p53 -treated cells, is in contrast to previous observations. 45,57,61,69 The discrepancy between these findings could be related to tissue specificity. We also noted that, similar to the results reported by Nishizaki et al 45 who used an Adv to transduce wtp53 into nonsmall cell lung cancer, there was no change in the mRNA level of bFGF.…”

“…WT1 and p53 can interact physically (Maheswaran et al, 1993), and this interaction modulates their biological activities . p53 has been shown to positively regulate TSP1 synthesis (Dameron et al, 1994) but the promoter region responsible for this regulation has not been identi®ed. In this respect, it would be interesting to determine if p53 modulates the capacity of WT1 to repress TSP1 transcription.…”

“…p53 inhibits angiogenesis by at least three mechanisms: (1) by regulating expression and activity of the central regulator of hypoxia, the hypoxia-induced transcription factor-1a; (2) by inhibiting production of proangiogenic factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2); and (3) by increasing production of anti-angiogenic factors. 6,[9][10][11][12][13][14] p53 is able to induce tumour dormancy, and the loss of WTp53 reverses the tumour switch from a dormant non-angiogenic state to an angiogenic invasive phenotype. 15,16 Clinical data also suggest that p53 has a crucial role in controlling tumour vascularization.…”
