Δ133p53 coordinates ECM-driven morphogenesis and gene expression in three-dimensional mammary epithelial acini.

ABSTRACT: Growing evidence indicates that p53 (encoded by TP53) has a crucial role in normal tissue development. The role of the canonical p53 (p53α) and its 12 isoforms in development and homeostasis of healthy tissue remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the Δ133p53 isoforms, the three short isoforms of p53, respond specifically to laminin-111 and play an important regulatory role in formation of mammary organoids in concert with p53α. We demonstrate that down-modulation of Δ133p53 isoforms leads to changes in gene expression of the extracellular matrix molecules fibronectin (FN), EDA+-FN, laminin α5 and laminin α3 in human breast epithelial cells. These changes resulted in increased actin stress fibers and enhanced migratory behavior of cells in two-dimensional culture. We found th
