Elevated expression of p53 in early colon polyps in a pig model of human familial adenomatous polyposis

Abstract: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary predisposition to formation of colon polyps that can progress to colorectal cancer (CRC). The severity of polyposis varies substantially within families bearing the same germline mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumour suppressor gene. The progressive step-wise accumulation of genetic events in tumour suppressor genes and oncogenes leads to oncogenic transformation, with driver alterations in the tumour protein p53 (TP53) gene playing a key r… Show more

“…Previously, Flisikowska et al created an APC mutated pig line, which develops dysplastic adenomas in the large intestine, similar to the precancerous lesions in human patients 78 . These pigs have contributed greatly to understanding CRC cellular mechanisms and improving diagnostics/therapeutics for human CRC patients in ways that previous mouse models could not 79–82 . Historically, colon cancer has been difficult to model completely in genetically modified mice due to the tendency of tumors to form in the small intestine instead of the colon 77 .…”

“…TP53 encodes tumor protein p53, a long-established tumor suppressor protein. Although p53 expression may be downregulated in colonic cancer, increased expression has been documented in relation to the progression of colorectal adenomas [28] and with high-grade dysplasia in adenomas [29,30]. In turn, no changes were detected for PCNA, PTGS2 (COX2), CEACAM5 (carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 5), or MKI67 (marker of proliferation Ki67).…”

“…Growing evidence indicates that marked TP53 mutations are found in CRC cells and human samples. Abnormally mutated changes of the TP53 gene play a key role in advanced CRC [13]. Compared with non-cancer tissues, the methylation levels of microRNA-34a in TP53 PIN A1A1 and TP53 MSP GG genotypes in CRC tumors are clearly higher [14].…”
