Abstract Text | Half of all human cancers lose p53 function by missense mutations, with an unknown fraction of these containing p53 in a self-aggregated amyloid-like state. Here we show that a cell-penetrating peptide, ReACp53, designed to inhibit p53 amyloid formation, rescues p53 function in cancer cell lines and in organoids derived from high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGSOC), an aggressive cancer characterized by ubiquitous p53 mutations. Rescued p53 behaves similarly to its wild-type counterpart in regulating target genes, reducing cell proliferation and increasing cell death. Intraperitoneal administration decreases tumor proliferation and shrinks xenografts in vivo. Our data show the effectiveness of targeting a specific aggregation defect of p53 and its potential applicability to HGSOCs. |

ReACp53 | p53 Activator 11 | ReACp53 is a peptide that inhibits Tp53 aggregation, resulting in reactivation of Tp53 pathway signaling in Tp53-mutant cells, and potentially resulting in increased tumor cell death (PMID: 26748848, PMID: 31471556) |

TP53 | I251S | missense | unknown | TP53 I251S lies within the DNA-binding domain of the Tp53 protein (PMID: 22713868). I251S confers similar sensitivity to mutant Tp53-targeted therapeutics compared to cells with characterized Tp53 mutations in culture (PMID: 26748848), however, has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Tp53 protein function is unknown. | |
TP53 | Y327L | missense | unknown | TP53 Y327L (also referred to as Y326L) lies within the tetramerization domain of the Tp53 protein (PMID: 15510160). Y327L confers similar sensitivity to mutant Tp53-targeted therapeutics compared to cells with characterized Tp53 mutations in culture (PMID: 26748848), however, has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Tp53 function is unknown. |
