The p53/Retinoblastoma-mediated Repression of Testicular Orphan Receptor-2 in the Rhesus Monkey with Cryptorchidism

Abstract: Whereas the linkage of infertility to cryptorchidism, the failure of the testis to descend into the scrotum at birth, has been well documented, the detailed molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here we report that the testicular orphan receptor-2 (TR2) expression, which modulates many signal pathways, was completely repressed in the surgery-induced cryptorchidism of the rhesus monkey. Further studies link TR2 repression to the induction of p53 and results suggest that induced p53 could repress TR2 expression v… Show more

“…Despite the absence of putative ligands, TR2 has been reported to affect various cellular processes, including differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis (4,(17)(18)(19). At the molecular level, TR2 can be an activator or a repressor for the same target genes that carry HREs, such as DR5 of Rar␤ (20) and DR1 of Oct4 (4).…”

“…Because Rb can be regulated via phosphorylation by cyclin-dependent kinase and loses its ability to block cell cycle progression when hyperphosphorylated, the cyclindependent kinase inhibitor p21 prevents the inactivation of Rb. Rb is then able to bind transcription factor E2F and reduce expression of TR2 (44). Although the possibility exists that alternative pathways may be present that result in p53-mediated regulation of TR2, the above described p53 3 p21 3 cyclin-dependent kinase 3 Rb 3 E2F 3 TR2 pathway may also occur in the context of HPV-16 infection and proliferation.…”

“…In a study examining the effect of both p53 and the retinoblastoma (Rb) protein on TR2 in the context of cryptorchidism, it was found that each tumor suppressor protein (p53 or Rb) had a repressive effect on TR2 expression (44). The known binding of proteins E6 and E7 to p53 and Rb, respectively, as well as the subsequent ubiquitin-mediated degradation of the tumor suppressor proteins known to result from such binding (36,(45)(46)(47) further implicated p53 and Rb as mediators of TR2 repression (44). The model proposed in the cryptorchidism study suggests that the down-regulation of TR2 by p53 involves a pathway in which p53 up-regulates one of its targets, p21.…”
