p53 mutant mice that display early ageing-associated phenotypes

Abstract: The p53 tumour suppressor is activated by numerous stressors to induce apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, or senescence. To study the biological effects of altered p53 function, we generated mice with a deletion mutation in the first six exons of the p53 gene that express a truncated RNA capable of encoding a carboxy-terminal p53 fragment. This mutation confers phenotypes consistent with activated p53 rather than inactivated p53. Mutant (p53+/m) mice exhibit enhanced resistance to spontaneous tumours compared with … Show more

“…Exceptions to the above are the p53/p44 and the AT‐1 sTg systems. In the case of p53/p44, the primary defect is in the N‐terminal regulatory functions of the p53 protein, which leads to reduced stemness potential of stem cells as well as hyperactivation of IGF‐1R signaling (Campisi, 2004; Lessel et al, 2017; Maier et al, 2004; Pehar, Ko, Li, Scrable, & Puglielli, 2014; Tyner et al, 2002). AT‐1 sTg mice display many features that are in line with classical segmental progerias, such as reduced growth, alopecia, skin lesions, rectal prolapse, osteoporosis, cardiomegaly, muscle atrophy, reduced fertility, and systemic inflammation.…”

“…Another major finding of the current investigation was that the RGS14 KO mice showed an extension in lifespan in both males and females and did not exhibit many of the adverse effects of aging normally observed in mice, such as decreased thymus weight, body atrophy, or loss of body hair (Gui, Mustachio, Su & Craig, 2012; Tyner et al., 2002). The current field of aging‐related research is focused more on extending a healthful lifespan, rather than simply extending lifespan, as older individuals with complications of aging that impair the quality of life often do not feel that further extension of lifespan is desirable.…”

“…Knockin homozygote mice (p53 DNp53/DNp53 ), expressing only amino-truncated p53 proteins, are cancer-prone like p53 À/À mice, and do not show any accelerated aging phenotype, indicating that that is dependent on the effect in trans of DNp53 on wild-type p53. 67,68 Knockin heterozygote p53 mice (p53 þ /M ) expressing one mutant p53 allele, bearing a point mutation in the DNA binding domain, are as susceptible to cancer as heterozygote p53 þ /À mice but do not show any accelerated aging phenotype. 69,70 This indicates that DNp53 proteins and point mutant p53, mutated in the DNA-binding domain, act…”
