TP53 R213

The results obtained in this study explain the diverse genetic mutations in various grades of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Identification of these mutations would help in providing better treatment, designing a proper treatment plan for the patients with OSCC and support minimal intervention medicine.

Our results show that the presence of G4 forming sequences can increase the transactivation ability of partial function P53 family proteins. These observations are pointing to the importance of DNA structural characteristics for accurate classification of P53 family proteins functionality in the context of the wide variety of TP53 and TP63 germline and somatic mutations.

In CRC, non-GOF mTP53 was prevalent in more than half of all cases. Compared to GOF mTP53, predictive biomarkers of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (TMB and MSI-H/dMMR) were higher in this cohort albeit still relatively rare. Otherwise, differences in molecular signatures between GOF and non-GOF mTP53 did not contain clinically meaningful differences.

In conclusion, our study revealed that secondary tumors arising from NS harbor known RAS hotspot mutations and additional genomic alterations, including putative driver mutations and PTCH1 copy-loss. These results could help to define the high-risk group for tumor development in patients with NS and provide evidence for prophylactic resection.

We next treated NSG mice harboring PDX cells derived from an AML patient who relapsed on the VEN/decitabine therapy with APG2575 (50 mg/kg, p.o., daily), APG1387 (10 mg/kg, i.v., once/wk), APG115 (50 mg/kg, p.o., daily at wk 1 and 5), or combinations. Only in the triple combination group, cIAP1, cIAP2, and XIAP as well as MDM2 were largely diminished and p21 was marked decreased. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that co-targeting intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis maximizes cell death induction in AML cells with acquired resistance to VEN or with TP53 deletion/mutations by antagonizing Bcl-2, eliminating cIAPs and XIAP, as well as MDM2 and p21, a finding that needs to be validated clinically.

This is due primarily to limited responses to available therapies including the highly promising FDA-approved combination of Bcl-2 inhibition by venetoclax (VEN) with hypomethylating agents (DiNardo CD et al., Blood 2020), which resulted in CR/CRi rates of 70-95% and good tolerability in elderly patients (DiNardo CD et al., Lancet Oncol 2018 and Blood 2019)...The Bax KD cells were resistant to VEN and AMG 176, while the combination of the two agents synergistically induced cell death...Thus, targeting Bcl-2 or Mcl-1 individually is insufficient and inhibition of both proteins is needed to shift cell fate from survival to death and circumvents resistance of TP53 deficient/mutant AML and AML stem/progenitor cells to BH3 mimetics. The concept warrants further clinical evaluation.

Other mutations detected were CTNNB1 D32N, KRAS G12V, and PIK3CA E542K Conclusion Resistance development is unavoidable in EGFR mutant advanced NSCLC on any generation of TKIs. NGS offers an advantage in diagnosing mechanism of resistance for further choice of therapy.

Primary and secondary acquired resistance is unavoidable in EGFR mutant advanced NSCLC on any generation of TKIs . NGS offers an advantage in diagnosing mechanism of resistance for further choice of therapy.

We have established an analysis process based on germline P/LP TP53 variants, which can efficiently screen for LFS patients in clinic.

Stratification on the basis of gender showed that P-A2-P-A-A haplotype of p.R72P, PIN3 Ins16bp, p.P47S, p.R213R and r.13494g[a polymorphisms was marginally associated with reduced oesophageal cancer risk in male group (P = 0.08). Replication of these findings in independent cohorts may be insightful for the role of TP53 in oesophageal cancer pathogenesis.

Transcriptome analysis showed a significant downregulation of proteins associated with apoptosis in the specimens with STK11 loss. STK11 loss may have triggered the rapid progression of PTTM from a comprehensive genomic analysis.
