p63 steps into the limelight: crucial roles in the suppression of tumorigenesis and metastasis

Abstract: The role of p63 in cancer has been an area of intense debate and controversy. Is TP63 (which encodes p63) a tumour suppressor gene or an oncogene? This debate is partly due to the complexity of the gene. There are several p63 isoforms — some with tumour suppressive functions and others with oncogenic functions. In this Opinion article, we focus on the recent advances in understanding p63 biology and its roles in cancer. In this regard, we discuss the role of p63 in multiple stem cell compartments, ageing, in t… Show more

“…The alternatively spliced isoforms differ in their ability to transactivate downstream target genes that induce biological activities, such as cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis (Yang et al 1998). Importantly, some of the isoforms share more structural similarity to p53 and have been found to transactivate the same target genes such as p21, bax, NOXA, PUMA, and Perp (Yang et al 1998;Su et al 2013). p53 has also been found to have multiple isoforms driven by two promoters with carboxy-terminal spliced isoforms (Bourdon et al 2005): p53, p53b, p53g, D133p53, D133p53b, and D133p53g (Fig.…”

“…The p63 isoforms can be placed into two groups: the transactivation domain isoforms (TAp63), which structurally resemble p53 and act as tumor suppressors; and the DN isoforms (DNp63), which bind to p53, TAp63, and TAp73 and inhibit their function, thus acting as oncogenes (22)(23)(24). Unlike DNp63, TAp63 is not expressed or is present at low levels in a variety of cancers (25,26).…”
