Unifying the p73 knockout phenotypes: TAp73 orchestrates multiciliogenesis

Abstract: Multiciliogenesis is essential for the function of different epithelia, and its failure results in brain defects, respiratory diseases, and infertility. In this issue of Genes & Development, Nemajerova and colleagues (pp. 1300–1312) reveal the p53 family member and p73 isoform TAp73 as a transcription factor dictating the differentiation of multiciliated cells. Their findings provide the long-awaited unifying explanation for the diverse phenotypes of the p73 knockout mice.

“…The p73 knockout mice show abnormal lipid accumulation in the liver because of impaired triglyceride hydrolysis, with in vitro data pointing at an involvement of TAp73 in such a process (He et al , 2013, 2015). It would be interesting to assess the in vivo role of each p73 isoform, namely TAp73 and ΔNp73, in lipid metabolism in the respective isoform-specific knockout mice, even though a possible lack of evidence could be in line with some of the distinctive functions of these isoforms compared with the rest of their family (Napoli and Flores, 2016). …”

“…2F, S2C). Trp73 encodes TP73, which triggers a downstream cascade towards multiciliated cell differentiation, including FOXJ1 (Napoli and Flores, 2016;Nemajerova et al, 2016), and key downstream TP73 targets (Cdkn1a, Myb, Foxj1, Ank3 and Six3) were all upregulated in our dataset (Fig. 2F).…”

“…Studies from in vitro and in vivo models have shown that p73 has a broad range of functions in development, differentiation, reproduction, metabolic processes, genomic repair, senescence, angiogenesis, and tumor suppression [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. For example, mice deficient in all p73 isoforms are runty and exhibit defects in neural development and multiciliogenesis [ 4 , 11 , 12 ]. Similarly, mice deficient in ΔNp73 isoforms are prone to delayed onset of moderate neurodegeneration [ 13 , 14 ] but do not develop tumors.…”
