Although these pooled estimates might appear to offer support for various hypotheses regarding the role of p53 in ovarian carcinoma, the limitations inherent in these data hamper the interpretation of the significance of any of the findings.
CA125 and p53 are reliable markers that are useful for differentiating both uterine serous and ovarian serous carcinoma from their most common subtypes (endometrioid type carcinoma of ovary and uterus) but so far there is no histopathologic marker that differentiates USC from OSC.
Conditional suppression of functional p53 increased p110alpha transcripts, protein levels and PI3K activity in immortalized, non-tumorigenic ovarian surface epithelial (OSE) cells, the precursors of ovarian carcinoma.
Exploratory Analysis of TP53 Mutations in Circulating Tumour DNA as Biomarkers of Treatment Response for Patients with Relapsed High-Grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma: A Retrospective Study.
Germ line DNA isolated from peripheral leukocytes of 73 patients with ovarian carcinoma was screened for p53 sequence abnormalities utilizing single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis and direct PCR sequencing techniques.
Growth suppression of human ovarian carcinoma OV-MZ-2a and OV-MZ-32 cells mediated by gene transfer of wild-type p53 enhanced by chemotherapy in vitro.
Immunohistochemical staining patterns of p53 can serve as a surrogate marker for TP53 mutations in ovarian carcinoma: an immunohistochemical and nucleotide sequencing analysis.
In conclusion, changes in O-GlcNAc homeostasis activate the wild type p53 pathway in ovarian cancer cells, and OGA inhibition has the potential as an adjuvant treatment for ovarian carcinoma.
In this study we show that curcumin exhibited time- and dose-dependent cytotoxicity against monolayer cultures of ovarian carcinoma cell lines with differing p53 status (wild-type p53: HEY, OVCA429; mutant p53: OCC1; null p53: SKOV3).
