"These results support the hypothesis that TP53 mutations play a role in the late stage of tumorigenesis, such as progression step of adenomas to invasive adenocarcinomas or metastasis to distant organs.Cellular stress, like DNA damage, telomere erosion, hypoxia, and nutrient depletion, as well as oncogenic signaling, activates p53, leading to the promotion of cell-cycle arrest, senescence, and apoptosis depending on the extent and context of the stress (Vousden and Lu, 2002; Vousden and Prives, 2009)."

"We show here that overexpression of the GOF mutant p53 G245D and other GOF p53 mutants enhances the invasive cell growth of p53 deficient head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) UM-SCC-1 cells both in in vitro three-dimensional culture and in an in vivo orthotopic nude mouse model of HNSCC through a novel transcription independent mechanism."

"More significantly, Ser20 phosphorylation of specific p53 mutants with oxali-Pt also activates p53 function, and this raises the likelihood that other p53 mutants in refractory human ovarian cancers could also be functionally activated with distinct drugs, such as oxali-Pt, to restore therapeutic sensitivity."
