Abstract

The P53 tumor suppressor protein is a multifunctional transcription factor that prevents the malignant transformation of normal cells. In human malignancies, p53 is the most frequently altered gene and is mutated in approximately 50% of all malignancies. In contrast, p53 gene mutation has been rarely detected in feline malignancies, and most feline malignancies conceivably retain the wild-type p53 (wt-p53) gene. MDM2 negatively regulates the P53 protein by inhibiting its transcriptional activity and nuclear transport and by inducing its degradation. Inhibition of P53-MDM2 interaction stabilizes P53 protein and activates P53 pathway. Nutlin-3, a small molecule that inhibits P53-MDM2 interaction, was shown to have an antitumor effect in several human cancer cells retaining the wt-p53 gene. In the present study, we evaluated and compared the antitumor effect of nutlin-3 in 5 different feline lymphoma cell lines, of which 3 harbored wt-p53, and 2, mutated p53 (mt-p53). Treatment with nutlin-3 resulted in increased amounts of P53 protein in conjunction with augmented expression of P53-target genes in 3 feline lymphoma cell lines with the wt-p53 gene, but not in 2 feline lymphoma cell lines with the mt-p53 gene. Nutlin-3 treatment al...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
