Expression of mutant p53 • p53-null cells 10(3) expressing p53 mutant(248) from an expression vector
Gene Expression Array p53 null Mutant p53
Genes demonstrating altered expression in the presence of R248W p53 • Induced Repressed • Multidrug resistance gene (MDR1) Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP-3) • Connexin-32 Monocyte chemotactic protein-3 (MCP-3) • Ribosomal protein gene L37 • Ribosomal protein gene RPP-1 • Ribosomal protein gene S1 • Transcription/Termination Factor I (TTF-1) • PW29, Calcium-binding protein • Heatshock 86Kd protein
Some Properties of TIMP-3 • Inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases • Required for proper tissue remodeling, vascularization and matrix turnover • Loss of expression in a mouse tumor progression model - potential tumor suppressor • Reduced expression observed in metastatic human colon cancer • Reconstituted/elevated expression of TIMP-3 leads to reduced metastasis and reduced angiogenesis

RNAi-mediated inhibition of mutant p53 expression • RNA-guided regulation of gene expression • conserved in most eukaryotic organisms. • involves dsRNA inhibiting the expression of genes with complementary nucleotide sequences. • thought to have evolved as a form of innate immunity in defense against viruses, • plays major regulatory roles in development and genome maintenance.

Model for role of mutant p53 expression in progression to metastasis
Future Goals Characterize factors that bind to the TIMP promoter Determine role of mutant p53 in regulating these factors Determine whether inhibition of mutant p53 can result in elevated TIMP and inhibition of tumor progression 4. Assess contribution of the pathway to cancer progression
