Influence of glutathione S-transferase pi and p53 expression on tumor frequency and spectrum in mice

Abstract

The role of glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTpi) in tumor development has been previously suggested; however the exact function of this enzyme in carcinogenesis remains unclear. GSTpi has been identified as a modulator of cell signaling by interacting with and inhibiting c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). This kinase has been in turn described as a regulator of p53 stability and transcriptional activity. To study the possible interaction between GSTpi and p53, we crossed GSTpi-deficient animals with p53(-/-) mice. Double knock out animals were viable but developed tumors within 6 months of age; the life span of these animals was however similar to that of GSTpi(+/-)/p53(-/-) and GSTpi(+/+)/p53(-/-). Mice heterozygous for p53 lived significantly longer than the p53(-/-) animals and developed tumors much later, and the expression of GSTpi did not significantly modify the life span of the animals. In contrast, in a wild-type p53 background, GSTpi(-/-) mice developed tumors with a significantly higher frequency than heterozygous and wild-type animals with a median tumor free life span 20 weeks shorter. In addition, in p53(+/+) background, one third of the GSTpi(-/-) animals developed lung adenomas, while less than 10% of GSTpi(+/-) and...Continue Reading

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
