Interplay between the tumor suppressor p53 and TGFβ signaling shapes embryonic body axes inXenopus

Abstract: The transcription factor p53 has been shown to mediate cellular responses to diverse stresses such as DNA damage. However, the function of p53 in cellular differentiation in response to growth factor stimulations has remained obscure. We present evidence that p53 regulates cellular differentiation by modulating signaling of the TGFβ family of growth factors during early Xenopus embryogenesis. We show that p53 functionally and physically interacts with the activin and bone morphogenetic protein pathways to dire… Show more

“…It is also noteworthy that mutations in genes encoding interacting partners for Hipks, including p53, Cbp, Axin, and Ski, have been shown to cause exencephaly (35). Importantly, these have also been shown to be involved in the signaling cascades of Shh, Wnt, or BMPs (2,8,9,26,57,61). Therefore, in conclusion, it is hypothesized that coordination of the proliferation in the subdomains of neural tube and paraxial mesoderm is required for correct neural fold elevation and that Hipks could be involved in the coordination of the mitotic responses to various morphogenetic signals (66).…”

“…53 This is in contrast to p53-deficient Xenopus embryos, which display compromised cell differentiation during early stages of development. [54][55][56] Here, p53 is required for proper transforming growth factor beta (TGFb) signaling and mesoderm formation, consistent with a physical interaction of p53 with Smad proteins. 55,56 The reasons for the different requirements of p53 during early mammalian, fish and amphibian development are unclear, but might be due to the presence of other p53 family members (p63, p73) in mammals and zebrafish, whereas they appear to be absent during early stages of Xenopus development.…”

“…In our present study, the expression of puma and bax was upregulated following an increase in p53 protein stability caused by BMP-4 treatment. Smad1/5 could bind to p53 (Takebayashi-Suzuki et al, 2003), raising the possibilities that Smad1/5 signals cooperatively activate p53-dependent transcription through regulating post-translational modification of p53, such as phosphorylation or acetylation, or perturb the physical interaction between MDM2 and p53 thus protecting p53 from degradation. On the other hand, BMP-4 had a minor effect on the apoptosis of myeloma cells lacking p53, but inhibited their proliferation at relatively high doses (30 ng/ml or more) through upregulation of p21waf1 (data not shown) (Kawamura et al, 2000).…”
