    Abstract Tumor suppressor TP53 is an important gene in human cancer because it is mutated in the majority of tumors, leading to loss-of-function or gain-of-function phenotypes. Mutated TP53 acts like an oncogene, driving cancer progression and causing poor patient outcomes. The role of mutated p53 in cancer has been known for over three decades, yet there is no FDA-approved drug to address the problem. This brief historical perspective highlights some of the insightful advances as well as challenges in therapeutic targeting of p53, especially the mutated forms. The article focuses on a functional p53 pathway restoration approach to drug discovery that years ago was not mainstream, encouraged by anyone, taught in textbooks, or embraced by medicinal chemists. With some knowledge, a clinician scientist's interest, and motivation, the author pursued a unique line of investigation leading to insights for functional bypass of TP53 mutations in human cancer. Like mutated Ras proteins, mutant p53 is fundamentally important as a therapeutic target in cancer and probably deserves a "p53 initiative" like the NCI's "Ras initiative." There is a link between naivete and enthusiasm for pursuing difficult problems, but important solutions are discovered through hard work and persistence. Hopefully, some benefit comes to patients with cancer from such drug discovery and development efforts.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and COVID-19 infection has led to worsened outcomes for patients with cancer. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein mediates host cell infection and cell-cell fusion that causes stabilization of tumor suppressor p53 protein. In-silico analysis previously suggested that SARS-CoV-2 spike interacts with p53 directly but this putative interaction has not been demonstrated in cells. We examined the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 spike, p53 and MDM2 (E3 ligase, which mediates p53 degradation) in cancer cells using an immunoprecipitation assay. We observed that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein interrupts p53-MDM2 protein interaction but did not detect SARS-CoV-2 spike bound with p53 protein in the cancer cells. We further observed that SARS-CoV-2 spike suppresses p53 transcriptional activity in cancer cells including after nutlin exposure of wild-type p53-, spike-expressing tumor cells and inhibits chemotherapy-induced p53 gene activation of p21(WAF1), TRAIL Death Receptor DR5 and MDM2. The suppressive effect of SARS-CoV-2 spike on p53-dependent gene activation provides a potential molecular mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2 infection may impact tumorigenesis, tumor progression and chemotherapy sensitivity. In fact, cisplatin-treated tumor cells expressing spike were found to have increased cell viability as compared to control cells. Further observations on γ-H2AX expression in spike-expressing cells treated with cisplatin may indicate altered DNA damage sensing in the DNA damage response pathway. The preliminary observations reported here warrant further studies to unravel the impact of SARS-CoV-2 and its various encoded proteins including spike on pathways of tumorigenesis and response to cancer therapeutics. More efforts should be directed at studying the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 spike and other viral proteins on host DNA damage sensing, response and repair mechanisms. A goal would be to understand the structural basis for maximal anti-viral immunity while minimizing suppression of host defenses including the p53 DNA damage response and tumor suppression pathway. Such directions are relevant and important including not only in the context of viral infection and mRNA vaccines in general but also for patients with cancer who may be receiving cytotoxic or other cancer treatments.

    Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) and breast cancer (BC) are deadly diseases that rank as the second and fourth leading causes of cancer-related deaths, respectively. We have previously shown that miR-6883 targets CDK4/6 and that palbociclib-mediated CDK4/6 inhibition destabilizes HIF1α. We hypothesize that miR-6883 downregulates HIF1α in CRC and BC cells. miR-6883 was transfected into cells under normoxia or hypoxia and western blot analysis revealed that miR-6883 downregulates CDK4/6 and HIF1α in CRC and BC cells, pointing to miR-6883 as a promising therapeutic to target hypoxic tumors or HIF1α-deregulated cancer cells. Future studies will further investigate miR-6883 as a cancer biomarker, effects on HIF-related proteins, and therapeutic uses
