p53 mutations do not predict response to paclitaxel/radiation for nonsmall cell lung carcinoma

Abstract: p53 mutations do not predict response of patients with NSCLC to paclitaxel/RT. This finding is in striking contrast to results with other chemotherapeutic agents and ionizing radiation. These clinical data support in vitro data and animal studies regarding the unique mechanism of the action of paclitaxel. Further investigation is needed to determine the mechanism of lung tumor cell death after paclitaxel/RT. These results suggest that paclitaxel/RT may be an active regimen for patients with other locally advan… Show more

“…This notion that perhaps p53 pathways may not be crucial to the action of antitubulin agents is supported by the apparent lack of in vivo association between the p53 status of cancer cells and the paclitaxel response. 25 In H23 cells with 246 IIe mt-p53, which was reported to behave in a dominant-negative fashion according to a yeast-based assay, 22 Ad-p53 did not confer increased chemosensitivity to DNA-damaging agents. The lack of synergistic enhancement of chemosensitivity may be explained by the dominant-negative effect of endogenous mt-p53.…”

“…(15). In preclinical models and clinical experience, taxanes do not require the presence of an intact p53 pathway for apoptosis induction in contrast to DNA-damaging agents, including cisplatin (16,17). As loss of functional p53 commonly occurs in lung cancer, sequential use of a taxane after a platinum (or other p53-dependent drug/regimen) and before the emergence of clinical drug resistance is theoretically attractive.…”

“…P53 immunohistochemistry, which is performed easily on paraffin embedded material at the time of diagnosis, coupled with confirmatory mutation analysis, could define a subset of patients with a markedly poorer prognosis who may benefit from more intense chemotherapy, possibly including agents that are less susceptible to P53-related chemoresistance. 40,45,46 These issues may be addressed definitively by a larger study with comprehensive P53 mutation analysis and longer followup.…”
