A total of 399 resected cases of ESCC were examined by dual-color in situ hybridization for MDM2 and immunohistochemistry for p53 using tissue microarrays.
In sum, this study revealed that miR-488-3p inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis by targeting ZBTB2 and activating p53 pathway in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, providing a novel biological target for ESCC.
Mechanistically, PGM5-AS1 was transcriptionally activated by p53 and it could directly interact with and sequester miR-466 to elevate PTEN expression, thereby inhibiting ESCC progression.
Similarly, p53 methylation with genotype TT was associated with increased EPL and ESCC risks (OR = 13.28, 95% CI 1.67-105.70; OR = 15.24, 95% CI 1.90-122.62).
However, little information is available about the prognostic significance of perioperative serum p53 antibody (s-p53-Abs) titers in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
We focused on two high-frequent mutations TP53p.G245C and TP53p.R273H and investigated their oncogenic roles in ESCC cell lines, p53-defective cell lines H1299 and HCT116 p53-/-.
Therefore, <i>SOX2</i> might be considered as a potential prognostic indicator and a potential target for therapeutic targets in ESCC. p53 staining and combined p53 and Cyclin D1 expression had significantly unfavorable prognostic value for patients with ESCC.
Moreover, the detection of pathogenic variants, including single nucleotide substitution of TP53 (c.346C>T) and BRCA2 (c.6952C>T) and splicing of KDM6A (c.1194+2T>G), suggest that the development of ESCC in the patient was triggered by impairment of checkpoint and repair for DNA damage and epigenetic modification through accumulation of gene mutations induced by chronic graft-versus-host disease and prolonged administration of tacrolimus.
The Presence of Serum p53 Antibody Predicts the Pathological Tumor Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy with Docetaxel, Cisplatin and Fluorouracil (DCF) in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Survival analysis revealed that high ASPP2 expression was significantly associated with increased 5-year OS (P = 0.001) and DFS rates (P = 0.010) and that high P53 expression was significantly associated with a reduced 5-year DFS rate of ESCC patients (P = 0.015).
