In conclusion, it is challenging to diagnose EWDGA using biopsy specimens. Recognizing and addressing this rare entity will increase diagnostic accuracy to ensure the early diagnosis of cancer.

The tumor of the omentum suggested that an EMT phenomenon was involved in the tumorigenesis. In this scenario, the primary HGSC of the fallopian tube with obvious invasion demonstrated that the conversion from carcinoma to sarcoma by EMT occurs only with peritoneal dissemination.

In conclusion, in our small case series, we show that the use of immunohistochemistry for p53 and Ki-67 may help to distinguish challenging patterns of BBT from MBT. Further studies are needed to validate this finding in a larger case cohort.

Our study suggests that p53 IHC can be used as a rapid tool (within 24 hours) to aid in the detection of residual disease that may complement MRD-FC or NGS in cases in which the flow cytometry immunophenotype is equivocal and/or the bone marrow aspirate is suboptimal.

The clinical value of IDH and ATRX mutations in prognostic assessment was confirmed (p ≤0.05). The overexpression of p53 had no significant impact on OS (p = 0.726). Therefore, p53 alone cannot predict survival in glioblastoma patients. Based on the results, these biomarkers may be a potential therapeutic target to prolong patient survival, hence the need for further investigations.

An aberrant expression profile of the p53 protein was observed in 42% of cases, and a statistically significant association was found with androgen resistance. Our results suggest a potential prognostic role of p53 in PCa.

These alterations in cell motility were closely associated with actin cytoskeleton restructuring, favoring γ-actin, and coincided with ERK1/2-mediated signaling activation, unveiling an innovative regulatory mechanism in malignancy progression. Cancer cell aggressiveness, driven by actin cytoskeleton reorganization and a shift towards γ-actin predominance, may be regulated by p53 dysfunction, thereby providing novel insight into tumor progression mechanisms.

Furthermore, hyperoxia increased the expression levels of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) alpha 1 (also known as protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 1 (PRKAA1)) but inhibited TP53 and mechanistic target of rapamycin (MTOR); these expression trends were regulated by CGRP treatment. In conclusion, we showed that CGRP can attenuate hyperoxia-induced lung injury in neonatal rats by enhancing autophagy and regulating the TP53/AMPK/MTOR crosstalk axis.

P53 overexpression is associated with disease progression in a subset of VMTs and may precede morphologic transformation to sarcoma. Routine evaluation of VMTs with p53 IHC seems justified, with overexpressors likely requiring an close clinical surveillance.

TP53/MDM2 over expression is a frequent and significant genetic event in CRCs associated with an aggressive biological behavior, as a result of increased dedifferentiation grade and advanced stage/elevated tumor volume, respectively. MDM2 oncogene overactivation combined with mutated and overexpressed TP53 is observed in sub-groups of patients leading to specific gene/protein signatures - targets for personalized chemotherapeutic approaches.

Performance in our setting differs from the literature, which shows variability of pre-analytic factors and cut-offs used to screen for TP53 mutations. Each laboratory should validate p53 IHC to screen for TP53 mutations in their unique setting.

In conclusion, the results of the present study suggested that MPOBA exhibited significant anticancer activity by inducing apoptosis in both CMCs via upregulation of TP53 and BAX and downregulation of BCL-2 relative mRNA expression. MPOBA may prove to be a potential candidate drug to be further investigated as a therapeutic agent for CMC.

Two HG-SPN cases had TP53 mutation and/or p53 overexpression. In conclusion, HG-SPNs show distinct malignant features and some genetic alterations that differ from C-SPNs, indicating the importance of differentiating between these 2 subtypes.

Isolated TP53 mutation was seen in association with smoking, high-grade cytomorphologic features, adverse prognosis, and recurrent CEBPA deletions. These tumors tend to have strong PD-L1 expression and high TMB, suggesting potential benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors. Hence, the recognition of this molecular group has prognostic and therapeutic implications.

p53+ breast cancers were associated with worse overall survival. However, low ATB was more common in these tumors than in p53- tumors in the luminal B-Her2-negative subtype. Information on p53 expression could be of use to predict ATB in some breast cancer tumors.

Ibrutinib +/- rituximab was effective and well tolerated as first-line treatment of MCL, including older and transplant-ineligible patients. PFS and OS were significantly inferior in one-third of patients with high-risk disease and those unsuitable for post-ibrutinib treatment, highlighting the need for novel approaches in these groups.

CCDC106 overexpression downregulates the cellular level of p53 and Mdm2/MdmX, and decreased p53 reversibly downregulates the cellular level of CCDC106. Our work provides a molecular mechanism by which CCDC106 regulates the cellular levels of p53 and Mdm2/MdmX.

This study revealed that high expression of MMR proteins is a common feature of DLBCL associated with lower tumor-infiltrating T cells, MYC and p53 overexpression, and context-dependent prognostic effects. In contrast, dMMR and loss of MMR proteins are infrequent and have no significant prognostic effects in DLBCL treated with standard chemoimmunotherapy. These results may have implications for understanding DLBCL biology and the low efficacy of PD-1 blockade immunotherapy in DLBCL.

IDH1-mutated CrD-SBAs, which represent approximately one-fifth of total cases, are characterised by distinctive immunophenotypical features and methylation profiles, with potential therapeutic implications. Moreover, IDH1-mutated non-conventional, serrated dysplasia is likely to represent a precursor lesion to such CrD-SBAs.

We also found that while wt-p53 expression contributes to 5-FU sensitivity in colon cancer cells, the RITA p53 reactivating molecule counteracted the resistance against 5-FU in cells expressing mut-p53. Our results indicate that mut-p53 GOF acts as a positive regulator of canonical Wnt signaling and participates in the induction of resistance to 5-FU in colon cancer cells.

This study unravels the role of p53 mutant in RA pathogenesis, and identifies TBK1 as a potential anti-inflammatory target.

Therefore, mortalin-p53 sequestration inhibitors could be game changers in improving overall survival rates. This review explores the consequences of mortalin overexpression and challenges, status and strategies for accelerating drug discovery to suppress mortalin-p53 sequestration.

Four histologically different HPV-independent penile precursor lesions can be assigned to 2 major genetic/biological pathways with characteristic highly differentiated precursors requiring different clinical management decisions. These include d-PeIN in chronic inflammatory dermatoses, with p53 overexpression and TP53/CDKN2A mutations, and the p53 wild-type verrucous and verruciform precursors unassociated with dermatoses, but with mutations in oncogenes PIK3CA and HRAS.

The GC- MS spectral data of the ethyl acetate crude extract of the mushroom indicated the presence of molecules capable of inducing apoptosis. The present study warrants further studies to isolate the molecule(s) from G. colossus which may be a potential drug candidate for breast cancers.

Overall, we discovered that USP53 deubiquitinates CRKL, encourages tumor development and metastasis, and reduces chemosensitivity in TNBC. These findings imply that USP53 might represent a new therapeutic target for the treatment of TNBC.

Overexpression of DNA2 is associated with poor outcome in ovarian cancer. Overall, our results provide a rationale to target DNA2 as a new synthetic lethality approach in mutp53-bearing cancers, and further extend the benefit of PARP inhibitors beyond BRCA-mutated cancers.

Cytoplasmic p53 expression in patients with pulmonary NEC suggests a high TP53 mutation rate, which is associated with a poor prognosis similar to that in patients with p53 overexpression or complete absence. This cytoplasmic expression should not be misidentified as a wild-type expression. This is the first report, to our knowledge, that demonstrates the implication of cytoplasmic p53 expression in pulmonary NEC.

PTEN loss identified by immunohistochemistry is an independent adverse prognostic factor for both biochemical and metastasis-free survival in prostate cancer patients treated with SRT. Although clinically validated RNA expression assays also exist which are prognostic for outcomes following SRT, stromal contamination in bulk RNA could mask "loss" signals specific to tumor cells, such as PTEN. Further work is necessary to determine the optimal approach to treating patients with poor molecular prognostic features in a salvage setting.

The combination of ibrutinib and bortezomib shows durable efficacy in patients with relapsed or refractory MCL, also in the presence of high-risk features. SAKK (Hubacher Fund), Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation, Swiss Cancer Research Foundation, and Janssen.

immunohistochemical assay is a reliable surrogate for TP53 mutations in most cases. Despite the small cohort and the limited median follow up, we can infer that HGSOC harboring p53 null mutations are a more aggressive subgroup.

Cyclin D1 and Ki67 may be associated with DFSP progression, and further, metastasis. p53 may be not involved in development of DFSP.

Silencing of TP53 or overexpression of TBL1X was enough to abate the tumor suppressive effects of MIAT knockdown in vitro and in vivo. Our results provide evidence for a novel regulation mechanism of CD8+ T cells in PRAD and MIAT may serve as a potential therapeutic target in PRAD.

As far as the authors know here is presented the largest series which compares the phenotype between CLL and its DLBCL-RS. The markers CD19, CD20, CD5, CD79b, CD38, Ki67, and p53 showed relevant changes at the moment of histological transformation. This research enhances the importance of validating reproducible assays to follow hematological malignancies with potential of transformation to more aggressive diseases.

Our study demonstrates that anorectal NECs arise in HPV-dependent or independent pathways, with heterogeneous expression of other lineage markers and different molecular signatures. Expression of p53 and c-Myc proteins appear to be mutually exclusive regardless of HPV status, likely mediating alternative mechanisms of NEC carcinogenesis.

Even when treated with standard therapy, such as surgery followed by carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy, the prognosis remains unfavorable. Patients with MSI had a lower CD8/PD-1 ratio and more relapses (p = 0.03). In conclusion, analysis of immunotherapeutic markers in paraffin-embedded advanced serous ovarian carcinoma samples is feasible and may assist in prognosis.

p53 expression and CDKN2A deletion represent a reliable pretreatment prognostic factor that identifies patients who do not benefit from currently used immunochemotherapy-based therapies and who are candidates for diversified treatments with the aim of improving prognosis. The MIPIb represents a prognostic index that correlates well with these biological alterations and can be used in clinical practice as their surrogate.
