The p53 gene is a tumor suppressor gene that regulates the cell cycle and prevents tumor formation. It acts as the "guardian of the genome" by inducing cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in damaged cells. p53 is commonly mutated in cancer, inactivating its normal functions and allowing damaged cells to continue dividing. When p53 is mutated, DNA damage fails to trigger cell cycle arrest, potentially leading to neoplastic transformation. The document discusses p53's role in DNA repair, apoptosis, and cell cycle regulation as well as how it is inactivated through mutations and the cancers most associated with p53 mutations, such as breast, colorectal, liver, lung, and ovarian cancers.
p53 has been described as “GUARDIAN ANGEL OF THE GENOME”
because it performs following mechanism:
DNA Repair
Cell growth arrest
Apoptosis (programmed cell death)
P53 is also known as cellular tumour antigen Ag, phosphoprotein
P53 or tumour suppressor p53.
P53 protein is encoded by TP53.
The document summarizes the structure and function of the p53 tumor suppressor protein. It describes the various domains of p53 including the N-terminal domain, proline-rich domain, central DNA-binding domain, tetramerization domain, and C-terminal regulatory domain. It discusses how each domain contributes to p53's role in regulating genes involved in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in response to cellular stress. The document also provides information on the location of the TP53 gene and includes figures depicting the structure and domains of the p53 protein.
(1) Stem cells can be embryonic, adult, or induced pluripotent. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent while adult stem cells are multipotent.
(2) Cancer stem cells are a small fraction of tumor cells that can self-renew and differentiate to form the heterogeneous tumor mass. They rely on signaling pathways like JAK/STAT, Hedgehog, Wnt, and Notch to maintain their stem-like properties.
(3) Targeting these pathways and surface markers on cancer stem cells is a promising strategy for cancer treatment, though more research is still needed to develop effective therapies.
The Ras pathway allows cells to respond to external signals by controlling processes like proliferation, survival, and apoptosis. When growth factors bind to receptor tyrosine kinases, it activates Ras which can then activate the MAPK, PI3K, and other pathways to regulate gene expression and cell behavior. Mutations that cause Ras to be constantly active are implicated in many cancers. Inhibiting Ras function through drugs like farnesyltransferase inhibitors may block its ability to drive uncontrolled cell growth.
Cancer is caused by mutations in genes that regulate cell growth and proliferation. These mutations can activate proto-oncogenes into oncogenes or inactivate tumor suppressor genes. Oncogenes promote cell growth while tumor suppressor genes normally inhibit cell proliferation. Common mechanisms of proto-oncogene activation include chromosomal translocations, gene amplifications, and point mutations. Disruptions to cell cycle checkpoints, apoptosis, telomere maintenance and DNA repair pathways can also contribute to cancer development by allowing abnormal cell growth and survival.
Oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and DNA repair genes all play roles in cancer development. Oncogenes are mutated proto-oncogenes that encode proteins regulating cell growth and proliferation. Their mutation results in uncontrolled cell stimulation and growth. Tumor suppressor genes normally inhibit cell growth and proliferation; their inactivation or deletion allows uncontrolled cell division. DNA repair genes ensure accurate DNA replication; mutations in these genes increase mutations in other genes like proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, promoting tumorigenesis.

This document summarizes two important tumor suppressor genes - PRB and P53. It provides background on tumor suppressor genes, noting that they function through loss of function to regulate cell cycle and suppress uncontrolled cell proliferation. For PRB, it describes its role in retinoblastoma cancer and cell cycle regulation. For P53, it discusses its role as the "guardian of the genome" in DNA repair and apoptosis, as well as its structure and functions in halting the cell cycle when damage is detected.
The relationship between p53 and chemotherapy is complex. p53 can induce cell death and cell cycle arrest in response to chemotherapy, but the balance of these effects and the specific chemotherapy agent used impacts outcomes. Tumors with wildtype p53 may experience cell cycle arrest, protecting tumor cells, while p53-deficient tumors are more sensitive to chemotherapy due to a lack of DNA damage response. The p53 status of the tumor microenvironment also influences chemotherapy response.
DNA repair mechanisms identify and correct damage to DNA that occurs due to normal cellular processes and environmental factors. There are two main types of DNA damage: endogenous damage caused by normal cellular processes and exogenous damage caused by external agents like UV radiation and chemicals. The main repair mechanisms are base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, direct repair via photolyases, and error-prone repair systems like SOS repair. Together, these pathways maintain genome integrity by repairing different types of DNA lesions.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play important gene regulatory roles in eukaryotic cells. They are approximately 22 nucleotides in length and are transcribed from independent genes or introns, then processed through a biogenesis pathway before targeting mRNAs for silencing or degradation. MiRNAs regulate genes involved in development, metabolism, and diseases like cancer. Their expression and function is tightly controlled through transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms in order to influence protein expression levels. While much progress has been made in understanding miRNAs, further study is still needed to elucidate their complex regulatory networks and roles in development and disease.

P53 GENE AND ITS APPLICATION IN CANCER ETIOLOGY
TUMOUR SUPPRESSOR GENE AND BCA AND BAC GENE AND ITS APPLICATION ON THE APOPTOSIS AND DEATH RECEPTORS
Apoptosis is a tightly regulated and controlled process of programmed cell death. It is essential for normal development and maintenance of tissues as it removes unnecessary or damaged cells. During apoptosis, cells activate enzymes to degrade their own DNA and proteins. Apoptosis is initiated through either the extrinsic or intrinsic pathway which involve death ligands/receptors or mitochondrial signaling, respectively, ultimately activating caspase enzymes that kill the cell in a controlled manner. Apoptosis is important for development, the immune system, and removing pre-cancerous or infected cells, while deficiencies can lead to cancer or autoimmune disorders.
The Wnt cascade has emerged as a critical regulator of stem cells. In many tissues, activation of Wnt signaling has also been found to be associated with cancer. Understanding the regulation by Wnt signaling may serve as a paradigm for understanding the dual nature of self-renewal signals.
An oncogene is a gene that has the potential to cause cancer. In tumor cells, they are mutated or expressed at high levels. Most normal cells undergo a programmed form of rapid cell death (apoptosis) when critical functions are altered.
Apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms. During apoptosis, cells exhibit characteristic changes such as blebbing, shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, and chromosomal DNA fragmentation. Between 50-70 billion cells die each day in the human body through apoptosis. Apoptosis is important for development and shaping of embryos, as well as for destroying infected, cancerous, or damaged cells. Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that play essential roles in apoptosis. There are intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of caspase activation - the intrinsic pathway involves mitochondria and the extrinsic involves death receptors. Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins can block apoptosis and lead to conditions like cancer if unregulated.
Tumor suppressor genes help repair damaged DNA and inhibit cell proliferation and cancer growth. They fall into two categories: caretaker genes that maintain genome integrity through DNA repair, and gatekeeper genes that inhibit proliferation or promote death of cells with damaged DNA. Key tumor suppressor genes include p53, Rb, APC, WT1, NF1, VHL, p15, p16, BRCA1, BRCA2, and PTEN. Mutation of both copies of a tumor suppressor gene, as with the two-hit hypothesis for retinoblastoma, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and cancer development.
1) Tumor suppressor genes normally apply brakes to cell proliferation through proteins that form checkpoints to prevent uncontrolled growth. Loss of function of these genes allows tumor development.
2) The proteins encoded by tumor suppressor genes regulate cell cycle control, apoptosis, and cell survival/growth through mechanisms like transcription factors, cell cycle inhibitors, and DNA damage response.
3) Famous tumor suppressor genes include RB, p53, APC, and WT1. Mutation of both copies is required for loss of function, leading to cancers like retinoblastoma, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, colon cancer, and Wilms tumor.
The document discusses regulation of gene expression. It describes how gene expression involves transcription of DNA into mRNA which is then translated into proteins. Regulation of gene expression is important for organisms to adapt to their environment and involves mechanisms like transcription control, RNA processing, translation control and protein modification. Key examples discussed are the lac operon and lambda phage switch which demonstrate transcriptional regulation through repressor and activator proteins. The role of epigenetic factors like DNA and histone methylation and acetylation in long-term stable regulation of gene expression is also summarized.
Proteomics is the study of the structure and function of proteins. It involves identifying and quantifying the proteins expressed by a genome or cell type. Key aspects of proteomics include protein separation techniques like gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry to identify proteins, and analyzing protein interactions and post-translational modifications. While genomes provide the blueprint, proteomics helps understand the diversity of proteins expressed and how they function together to direct cellular activities. It is a promising tool for disease diagnosis by identifying protein biomarkers.
Oncogene And Tumor Suppressor Gene
The document discusses oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. It defines proto-oncogenes as genes involved in cell growth that can become activated oncogenes through mutations. Oncogenes are classified into five groups. Tumor suppressor genes normally inhibit tumor formation but mutations inactivate this function in a two-hit model. Examples discussed include HER2/neu, Ras, Myc, Rb, p53, BRCA1, BRCA2, and APC.
The document discusses the tumor suppressor protein p53, known as "the guardian of the genome". It describes p53's history of identification in 1979 and role in regulating cell growth and proliferation. P53 prevents unrestrained cell division after DNA damage by initiating growth arrest, DNA repair, or apoptosis. The document outlines p53's structure and domains, and mechanism of action in normal cells where it is kept at low levels through degradation by Mdm2. When DNA is damaged, p53 is stabilized and can activate repair proteins, growth arrest, or apoptosis if damage cannot be repaired. The role and significance of p53 in cancer treatment, potential therapeutic uses, and future trends are also summarized.
1) Telomeres are protective nucleoprotein structures at the ends of chromosomes that shorten with each cell division due to the end replication problem.
2) Telomerase is an enzyme that adds telomeric repeats to chromosome ends to counteract shortening and allow indefinite cell division.
3) Telomerase activation allows cancer cells to avoid replicative senescence and become immortalized, while preceding telomere shortening provides a mechanism for genetic instability and tumor progression.
This document discusses gene expression and regulation. It begins by defining key terms like genes, genome, and gene expression. It then explains that organisms adapt to their environment by altering gene expression. There are two main types of gene expression: positive regulation which increases expression, and negative regulation which decreases it. Gene expression is studied in detail in prokaryotes using the lactose operon in E. coli as an example. Gene expression in eukaryotes is more complex due to larger genomes and separation of DNA and protein synthesis by the nuclear membrane.
The document summarizes information about p53, a tumor suppressor protein. It discusses the history and discovery of p53, its structure and domains, mechanisms of stability and activation in response to stress. It also describes p53's key functions in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The document notes common mutations in p53 in different cancer types and potential therapeutic applications targeting p53 pathways.
Targeting p53 for Novel Anticancer TherapyDiksha Kumari
This document discusses targeting the p53 tumor suppressor gene for novel anticancer therapy. It describes p53's role in tumor suppression through growth arrest, apoptosis and blocking angiogenesis. Approaches discussed to target p53 include using chemoradiation or gene therapy to activate wild-type p53, introducing wild-type p53 with viruses, targeting mutant p53 cells with adenovirus, and identifying drugs that selectively kill cancer cells with mutant p53. While increasing p53 can cause premature aging, restoring its endogenous function shows promise for regressing certain cancers without damage to other cells.

P53 controls cancer in our bodies by inducing apoptosis, or programmed cell death of damaged cells. As the "guardian of the genome", p53 performs DNA repair, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. It is a tumor suppressor protein encoded by the TP53 gene. When DNA is damaged, p53 levels increase and it can either cause cell cycle arrest to allow for DNA repair or induce apoptosis if the DNA damage cannot be repaired. Apoptosis is controlled by the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, which activate caspases that break down the cell into apoptotic bodies that are then phagocytosed.
Epigenetics and cell fate in JIA and pulmonary fibrosis by Jim HagoodSystemic JIA Foundation
This document discusses the potential role of epigenetic mechanisms in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). It outlines how epigenetic changes like DNA methylation and histone modifications can alter gene expression and cell phenotypes, contributing to diseases like IPF that involve remodeling of lung tissue. Studies have found differential methylation and expression of genes in IPF lung tissue. Epigenetic therapies targeting mechanisms like DNA methylation and histone acetylation may one day help treat IPF and other diseases. The document also discusses how epigenetics may contribute to autoimmunity and JIA, noting differences in T cell methylation profiles between JIA patients and controls.
The document summarizes key developments in p53 research from its discovery in 1979 to current understanding and clinical translation efforts. It describes the initial view of p53 as an oncogene, the 1989 discovery that it is actually a tumor suppressor gene often mutated in cancer. Subsequent work revealed that p53 has a central role in stress response pathways, regulating genes that control cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and other functions. Ongoing research aims to better understand p53 pathways and develop drugs to reactivate mutant p53 or inhibit its regulation by MDM2/MDM4 for cancer therapy.
Recent developments in p53 and nano oncologytazib rahaman
Recent research into the tumor suppressor gene TP53 and its role in cancer prognosis and treatment:
1) The largest study to date of TP53 mutations in over 10,000 cancer patients across 32 cancer types found correlations between mutation types and patient survival rates, and identified 4 genes whose expression levels are associated with prognosis.
2) Additional research suggests that the PBRM1 gene, which is often mutated in kidney cancer, interacts with TP53, indicating TP53 may play a more important role in kidney cancer than previously believed.
3) A research team received $1.8 million in funding to develop new ovarian cancer therapies targeting TP53 by reactivating its function and investigating its role in cancer development

The document presents information on p53-based cancer therapy. It discusses how p53 functions as a tumor suppressor and how different approaches are being explored for p53-based therapy, including gene therapy using wild-type p53, small molecule drugs, vaccines, siRNA, oncolytic viruses, and cyclotherapy. The goal is to restore p53 activity in cancer cells or selectively target p53-defective cancer cells to induce tumor regression while sparing normal cells. Clinical trials are underway to evaluate several of these strategies.
The document discusses PD-L1 expression in gliomas and the potential for blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway as a new treatment strategy. It summarizes that PD-L1 is expressed in glioma cell lines and tumor tissues in approximately 44% of cases based on various studies. Higher PD-L1 expression is correlated with higher glioma grade. Blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway has shown encouraging results in other cancers and offers hope as a new immunotherapy for gliomas given the role of this pathway in glioma progression and limiting the immune response against the tumors.
The document summarizes research on targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway for cancer treatment. It discusses that EGFR is overexpressed in many cancers like breast cancer. A compound called DPDIM was found to inhibit the EGFR pathway and induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells. Nanoparticles were used to deliver diindolylmethane (DIM) to the brain by targeting somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) and avoiding the blood brain barrier. Studies showed this targeted nanoparticle delivery reduced brain tumor growth in animal models by regulating EGFR pathway members.
Alternative lengthening of telomeres is enriched in, and impacts survival of ...Joshua Mangerel
This study investigated the prevalence and significance of alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) in pediatric brain tumors. The researchers screened 517 pediatric brain tumor samples for ALT using the C-circle assay and validated the results with other assays. They found that ALT was detected in a subset of malignant pediatric brain tumors, especially primitive neuroectodermal tumors, choroid plexus carcinomas, and high-grade gliomas. Somatic mutations in TP53 were strongly associated with ALT. ALT attenuated the poor prognosis associated with TP53 mutations in some tumor types. ALT positive tumors had higher survival rates than ALT negative tumors for children with TP53 mutant malignant gliomas and choroid plexus carcinomas. This suggests ALT may impact survival
Gene therapy involves using genes to treat disease, such as cancer. It works by inserting a functional gene into a patient's cells to fight the disease. For cancer treatment, genes are inserted using an engineered adenovirus vector. One application is inserting the p53 tumor suppressor gene, which causes cancer cells to self-destruct. The document describes p53 gene therapy being administered directly into tumors or through injection for several cancer patients. Many showed tumor shrinkage or complete remission with only mild side effects like fever. Gene therapy is a promising treatment when combined with conventional therapies.
ABSTRACT- Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer related mortality worldwide. The epidermal-growth-factor receptor (EGFR) cascades the signaling pathway that regulates tumor-cell proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, metastasis, and apoptosis. Since EGFR is often over-expressed in NSCLC and the level of EGFR expression correlates with poor prognosis. EGFR inhibitors have been developed as a novel therapy for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Gefitinib is the first molecular targeted agent approved for the treatment of advanced NSCLC. It is a highly effective EGFR TK inhibitor (TKI) selectively blocks the signal transduction pathways implicated in cancer growth. Key-words- Lung Cancer, EGFR, NSCLC, Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI)
This study found that acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells driven by the fusion oncogenes AML1-ETO and PML-RARα have increased DNA damage and are more sensitive to PARP inhibitors compared to AML cells driven by MLL-AF9. Sensitivity to PARP inhibitors was correlated with lower expression of DNA damage response genes. The study also found that modulating the activity of the oncogene HOXA9, which is highly expressed in MLL-AF9 AML, could render those cells sensitive to PARP inhibitors by reducing DNA repair capacity. Combining PARP inhibitors with agents that target HOXA9 may be a promising new therapeutic strategy for AML.
Telomeric G-Quadruplexes as Therapeutic Targets in CancerHIRA Zaidi
This document discusses targeting telomeric G-quadruplexes as a potential therapeutic approach for cancer. It describes how G-quadruplex binding molecules can inhibit telomerase and cause cancer cell death by triggering telomere shortening. The document outlines various methodologies used to design G-quadruplex binding molecules and study their interactions with telomeric DNA, including computational modeling, biophysical assays, and structural analysis. Challenges in developing selective G-quadruplex targeting agents are also discussed.
This document describes the development of a bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay to visualize and quantify interactions between the tumor suppressor protein p53 and its inhibitor Mdm2 in live mammalian cells. The assay uses fusion proteins containing non-fluorescent fragments of the Venus fluorescent protein tagged to p53 and Mdm2. Interaction between the proteins reconstitutes Venus fluorescence. Nutlin-3, a known disruptor of p53-Mdm2 binding, reduced BiFC signal and increased cell death when added, validating the assay. A library of 33 phosphatase inhibitors was also screened using this assay to identify potential modulators of p53-Mdm2 complex formation.
Functional p53 is required for rapid restoration of daunorubicin-induced lesi...Enrique Moreno Gonzalez
This document summarizes a research article that studied the role of p53 in daunorubicin (DNR)-induced lesions in the spleen. The key findings were:
1) DNR treatment caused more rapid cell death and weight loss in the spleens of wild type mice compared to p53-null mice.
2) While wild type mouse spleens recovered normal morphology 8 days after DNR treatment, p53-null mouse spleens still had large necrotic lesions.
3) DNR treatment increased p21 levels in wild type mice but not p53-null mice, indicating p53 is required for p21 induction.
4) The results suggest p53
The document discusses research on developing a nanoparticle drug delivery system for treating brain cancer. It summarizes that a compound called 3,3'-Diindolylmethane (DIM) shows anti-cancer effects but cannot cross the blood-brain barrier. The researchers encapsulated DIM in nanoparticles and modified the nanoparticle surface with a peptide that targets the somatostatin receptor SSTR2, which is expressed on brain cancer cells and blood vessels. In vivo tests in a rat brain tumor model showed the peptide-tagged DIM nanoparticles reduced tumor growth by regulating the EGFR pathway and inducing apoptosis. The nanoparticle formulation helped deliver an effective dose of DIM to the brain and showed potential for treating brain cancer.
1. Researchers identified a novel isoform of the tumor suppressor gene DLC1 called DLC1-i4 through 5' RACE. DLC1-i4 encodes a 1125 amino acid protein with a distinct N-terminus compared to other DLC1 isoforms.
2. DLC1-i4 expression is frequently downregulated in multiple carcinoma cell lines, including esophageal, gastric, breast, colorectal, cervical and lung cancers. Its promoter region contains CpG islands that are often methylated, silencing expression.
3. Ectopic expression of DLC1-i4 in silenced tumor cells strongly inhibited their growth and colony formation, demonstrating its tumor suppressive

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

• CANCER Introduction
• Structure of p53
• Function of p53
• Literature Review
• Conclusion
• References
• Summary
• Questionnaire
3. Objective
• To give knowledge of cancer along with brief
description of p53 gene
4. Current Scenario
• In 2012, an estimated 14.1 million new cases of cancer
occurred worldwide.
• Out of 10 deaths 4 from cancer
• There are 100 different forms of cancer.
• Most common types of cancer are lung, breast, bowel and
prostate which accounts for 4 death in 10 cancer patients
• Lung cancer is common in Men’s and Breast cancer in Female
5. Cancer
• Single type of cell proliferate continuously
becomes immortal further into a tumor.
• Two types of tumor
– Benign Tumor
– Malignant Tumor
7. p53 Gene
• "the guardian of the genome"
• TP53 gene is located on the short arm
of chromosome 17 (17p13.1)
• TP53 gene encodes at least 15 protein
isoforms [1]
• Actual molecular weight is 43.7 kda [2]
13. INACTIVATION OF NORMAL p53 AND
ACTIVATION OF MUTATED p53

14. RECRUITMENT MECHANISM TO THE PROMOTER
• To analyze GOF
• mtp53 can be recruited to promoters via interaction with
other transcriptional factors acc. to [4,5,6,7,8]
• Binding factors- E2F1, NF-Y, VDR, ETS1, ETS2, and
SP1 also binds with normal p53 acc. To [4,5,6,7,8,9]
• Mtp53 gene expression with help MRD1 promoter and
stated ETS-1 can interact with mtp53 not with normal
p53. ETS factor is require for transcriptional regulatory
activity of mtp53. [10]
• Other studies revealed ETS1 also require to
normal p53 gene for transcription regularities.
