6th International Symposium on Translational Research in Oncology

Program Overview

Now in its sixth year, this annual symposium has a firmly established reputation as a premier meeting at which the world’s leading researchers gather to present and discuss new directions in oncology research with a focus on translating the most recent laboratory developments into improved clinical outcomes for cancer patients. Under the direction of John Crown, MD, MPH, and Dennis J. Slamon, MD, PhD, the program includes didactic presentations and interactive discussions. Faculty are carefully selected from among the researchers at the forefront of the translational work in the topic, whether from academia, government, or industry. The program encourages networking and interaction between the attendees and the renowned faculty members.

The p53 Family

The p53 family includes 3 genes, encoding for p53, p63, p73 proteins

The oldest protein is p63, whereas p53 is the most recent

– P53 is involved in DNA damage repair

Each protein exists as different isoforms generated by distinct promoters (TA isoforms and N isoforms) or by alternative splicing (, , , etc, isoforms)

– TA isoforms induce cell death (anticarcinogenic, acting as tumor suppressor)

– N isoforms inhibit cell death (procarcinogenic, acting as oncogenes)

p73 and p63, like p53, are involved in DNA damage repair, inhibiting cell cycle progression, and inducing apoptosis

– p73 is rarely mutated in cancer (0.5% mutation rate of p73 versus > 50% mutation rate of p53)

clinicaloptions.com/oncology

6th International Symposium on Translational Research in Oncology

The p53 Family (cont’d)

p73 kills cells by regulating the transcription of genes crucial to the cell cycle (eg, p21) and to apoptosis (eg, bax, PUMA, CD95), thus affecting the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy

After 30 years of research on p53, clinically exploitable targets are mostly limited to its protein degradation regulation (inhibitors of the ubiquitin E3 ligase MDM2), and ARF (DNA methyltransferase inhibitors) pathways,

Protein degradation of both p73 and p63 is regulated by the ubiquitin E3 ligase ITCH, a member of the HECT-containing E3s

In addition to p73 and p63, ITCH controls the degradation of c-jun, Notch, jun-B, and Flip, all involved in oncogenesis and apoptosis

– The prediction is therefore that ITCH regulation affects carcinogenesis and/or chemosensitivity

Modulation of ITCH protein levels regulates chemosensitivity in vitro, suggesting that an inhibitor of ITCH could increase chemosensitivity

Is ITCH E3 Activity Regulated?

Summary

The function of ubiquitin E3 ligase ITCH is regulated by a physical interaction with a novel protein called N4BP1

N4BP1 competes with ITCH substrates (p63, p73, c-Jun) by binding on the same region of ITCH, called WW2

N4BP1 physiologically regulates ITCH and its substrates (p73, p63, c-Jun), thereby affecting cell death

Summary

p53 is cleaved by caspases during apoptosis, contributing to cell death

Transcriptionally inactive natural mutants of p53 can be cleaved by caspases to produce transcriptionally inactive fragments

– Can still induce apoptosis by depolarization of mitochondria

Other members of the p53 family, p63 and p73, are also susceptible to caspase cleavage

Caspase cleavage of p63a isoforms relieves the inhibitory effects of the C-terminal transactivation inhibitory domain, resulting in

– Enhanced transcriptional activity by the TA isoform

– Abrogating the transactivational inhibitory effects of the DNp63 isoform

Only limited toxicity, even in combination with chemotherapy

The different TRAIL receptor agonists are unique

– Pharmacokinetics

– Target TRAIL-R1 and/or TRAIL-R2

Produce significant numbers of stable disease; many patients show stable disease

Response to monotherapy is rare

Long-lasting treatment possible
