Project description:The tumor suppressor p53 plays a critical role in the cellular response to various stresses, including DNA damage, hypoxia, nutrition starvation, and oncogene activation. However, wild-type p53 function was largely impaired in cancer cells, one of the reasons is the inhibition by p53 negative regulating proteins (iASPP, MDM2 etc.). To globally evaluate the transcriptome inhibited by iASPP and the potent synergy of co-inhibiting MDM2, we performed RNAseq analysis in colon cancer cell line HCT116 upon p53 or iASPP knockdown with or without Nutlin-3 treatment.
Project description:We performed p53 ChIP-seq analysis of Nutlin-treated HCT116 cells to identify high-confident p53 regulated targets. And we performed ChIP-seq using an anti-p53 antibody in HCT116 cells treated with control or iASPP RNAi to identify iASPP regulated p53 targets.
Project description:Transcriptomic analyses revealed hundreds of p53-regulated genes, however these studies used a limited number of cell lines and p53-activating agents. Therefore, we searched for candidate p53-target genes by employing stress factors and cell lines never used in high-throughput search for p53-regulated genes. We performed RNA-Seq on A549 cells exposed either to camptothecin, actinomycin D, nutlin-3a or to a combination of actinomycin D and nutlin-3a (A+N). The latter two substances synergize in activation of selected p53-target genes. Similar analysis was performed on other cell lines (U-2 OS, NCI-H460, A375) exposed to A+N. Mass spectrometry was employed to identify proteins in cell lysates or those secreted to the medium of A549 cells in control conditions or treated with A+N. Expression of selected genes strongly upregulated by A+N or camptothecin was examined by RT-PCR in p53-deficient cells and their controls. We found that p53 participates in upregulation of: ACP5, APOL3, CDH3, CIBAR2, CRABP2, CTHRC1, CTSH, FAM13C, FBXO2, FRMD8, FRZB, GAST, ICOSLG, KANK3, KCNK6, KLRG2, MAFB, MR1, NDRG4, PTAFR, RETSAT, TMEM52, TNFRSF14, TRANK1, TYSND1, WFDC2, WFDC5, WNT4 genes. Twelve of their proteins were detected in the secretome and/or proteome of treated cells. Our data generate new hypotheses concerning functioning of p53 tumor suppressor.

Project description:To compare the impact of several TP53 mutant variants in an isogenic setting, different TP53 mutations were introduced in HCT116 colorectal carcinoma cells. This parental cell line is wild-type for TP53 and shows a prototypical p53 response. To ensure unambigous genotype-phenotype correlations, the cell were haploidized prior to CRISPR-editing by introducing inactivating deletions of intronic splicing into one of the two TP53 alleles, leaving only one functional copy of TP53. The remaining TP53 allele was altered by inserting a LoxP-flanked transcriptional stop cassette (Lox-Stop-Lox, LSL) into intron 4, which allowed reversible silencing of TP53 expression. The LSL cassette was then specifically targeted with CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce a variety of different mutant p53 alleles. The competency of the mutated p53 allele to induce a p53 response upon activation using Nutlin-3a was then assessed in an RNAseq experiment.
