Background: P53 isoforms originate from the alternative initiation of P53 gene translation through usage of an internal promoter located in intron 4. All P53 isoforms are spliced in intron 9 and may modulate cell proliferation and cell fate outcome in response to DNA damage.
Aim: To examine immunoexpression of P53 isoforms in benign proliferative lesions occurring in multinodular thyroids and to assess the ultrastructural phenotype of P53 distribution in the thyrocytes of those lesions by electron microscopy.
Materials And Methods: By immunohistochemistry and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we evaluated 38 multinodular thyroids containing a total of 102 benign lesions: 38 nodular goiters (NG; colloid=20, parenchymatous=18), 52 follicular adenomas (FA) and 12 Hashimoto's thyroditis (HT). FA were classified into 10 normo-follicular, 9 macro-follicular, 28 micro-follicular and 5 solid variants.
Results: Immunoreaction for P53 isoforms was observed in approximately 50% of all lesions, except macrofollicular variant FA (33%). At TEM analysis, immunoreactive NG, FA and TH lesions showed signs of proliferation by simultaneous appearance of dispersed chromatin, increased amounts of cytoplasmic organelles and dilation of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. TEM signs of apoptosis and proliferation were also detected in FA, but with different rates compared to NG.
Conclusion: The immunohistochemical expression of P53 isoforms in NG, FA and HT suggests their role in the development of these lesions. Ultrastructural findings support the hypothesis that P53 immunoexpression correlates with reactive proliferative changes in thyrocytes.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is often characterized by indolent behavior, small tumors with slow cell proliferation and a tendency to metastasize to cervical lymph node simultaneously, and the molecular mechanisms underlying that remain poorly understood. In this study, FN1 was the hottest gene of PTC and distinctive expression in PTC cells. FN1 deficiency severely inhibited the p53 signaling pathway, especially cyclin proteins, resulting in increased cell growth but hampered invasion.

Background/aim: The p53 protein, a crucial tumor suppressor, governs cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. Similarly, p63, a member of the p53 family, exhibits traits of both tumor suppression and oncogenic behavior through its isoforms. However, the functional impact of ΔNp63β, an isoform of the p63 protein, on human glioma cancer cells like T98G cells remains poorly understood, representing the novelty of this study in the current literature.

The concept of Targeted Protein Degradation (TPD) has been introduced as an attractive alternative to the development of classical inhibitors. TPD can extend the range of proteins that can be pharmacologically targeted beyond the classical targets for small molecule inhibitors, as a binding pocket is required but its occupancy does not need to lead to inhibition. The method is based on either small molecules that simultaneously bind to a protein of interest and to a cellular E3 ligase and bring them in close proximity (molecular glue) or a bi-functional molecule synthesized from the chemical linkage of a target protein-specific small molecule and one that binds to an E3 ligase (Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTAC)).

The abundant production of foreign proteins and nucleic acids during viral infection elicits a variety of stress responses in host cells. Viral proteins that accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) can trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR), a coordinated signaling program that culminates in the expression of downstream genes that collectively restore protein homeostasis. The model pathogen adenovirus serotype 5 (HAdV5) activates the UPR via the signaling axis formed by inositol-requiring enzyme type 1 (IRE1α) and the X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1), a transcription factor required for immune function.
