Role of the p53 Family in Stabilizing the Genome and Preventing Polyploidization

  • Chapter
Polyploidization and Cancer

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 676))

Abstract

Cellular defects resulting in chromosomal instability and aneuploidy are the most common features of human cancers. As a major tumor suppressor and intrinsic part of several cellular checkpoints, p53 contributes to maintenance of the stability of the genetic material, both in quality (ensures faithful replication) and quantity (preservation of diploidy). Although the exact trigger of p53 in case of numerical chromosomal aberrations is unknown, the absence of p53 allows polyploid cells to proliferate and generate unstable aneuploid progeny. A more recent addition to the p53 family, p73, emerged as an important contributor to genomic integrity when p53 is inactivated. p73 loss in p53-null background leads to a rapid increase in polyploidy and aneuploidy, markedly exceeding that caused by p53 loss alone. Constitutive deregulation of Cyclin-Cdk and p27/Kip1 activities and excess failure of the G2/M DNA damage checkpoint are important deficiencies associated with p73 loss.
