<i>TP53</i> Status and Response to Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer

Abstract: Despite its central role in the control of apoptosis, senescence and cell cycle arrest, the tumor suppressor protein p53 remains an enigma for its possible role in predicting response to chemotherapy in cancer patients. Many studies remained inconclusive, others showed a better response for tumors with normal p53, and some recent studies showed adverse effects of normal p53 for response to treatment. p53 is not only a powerful pro-apoptotic factor in response to drug-induced DNA damages but also a potential in… Show more

“…In parallel all clinicopathological variables available from patient records were statistically evaluated in relation to p53 status. The frequency of p53 mutations in our cohort of breast cancer patients was 25.7% which is consistent with other reports (10). Cases with mutations that did not change the resulting AA (silent mutations) were counted as wt p53.…”

“…Earlier studies by Bertheau et al (2008) and Agrawal et al (2009) showed results ranging from 14-58% of p53 (+) protein overexpression in breast cancer tissues. The findings from this present study reported that overexpression of p53 (+) protein was found in 40% (44/111) of the overall breast cancer cases.…”

“…The explanation behind these findings is likely to be complex and further investigations of the triad relationship between HAGE, TILs, and response to chemotherapy are warranted. The higher rate of response to a given chemotherapy could probably result from an accumulation of DNA damage, abnormal mitoses, and subsequent mitotic catastrophe (30,31). The mechanisms of mitotic catastrophe are unknown, but it likely results from a combination of deficient cell-cycle checkpoints and cellular damage.…”
