P53 represses transcription by activating p21 expression and promoting formation of RB1-E2F1 and RBL1/RBL2-DREAM transcription repressor complexes. The DREAM complex is composed of DP1, RB-family proteins RBL1 or RBL2 (p107/p130), E2F4/5, and MuvB. We recently reported RBL2-DREAM contributes to improved therapy responses in p53 wild-type NSCLC cells and improved outcomes in NSCLC patients whose tumors express wild-type p53. In the current study we identified CSE1L as a novel inhibitor of the RBL2-DREAM pathway and target to activate RBL2-DREAM in NSCLC cells. CSE1L is an oncoprotein that maintains repression of genes that can be reactivated by HDAC inhibitors. Mocetinostat is a HDAC inhibitor in clinical trials with selectivity against HDACs 1 and 2. Knockdown of CSE1L in NSCLC cells or treatment with mocetinostat increased p21, activated RB1 and RBL2, repressed DREAM target genes, and induced toxicity in a manner that required wild-type p53. Lastly, we found high levels of CSE1L and specific DREAM-target genes are candidate markers to identify p53 wild-type NSCLCs most responsive to mocetinostat. Thus, we identified CSE1L as a critical negative regulator of the RB-DREAM pathway in p53 wild-type NSCLC that can be indirectly targeted with HDAC1/2 inhibitors (mocetinostat) in current clinical trials. High expression of CSE1L and DREAM target genes could serve as a biomarker to identify p53 wild-type NSCLCs most responsive to this HDAC1/2 inhibitor.

To directly examine the interplay between mutant p53 or Mdm2 and wild type p53 in gene occupancy and expression, an integrated RNA-seq and ChIP-seq analysis was performed in vivo using isogenically matched mouse strains. Response to radiation was used as an endpoint to place findings in a biologically relevant context. Unexpectedly, mutant p53 and Mdm2 only inhibit a subset of wild type p53-mediated gene expression.

Background: Human Lung Carcinoma (LC) is among the most diagnosed cancers across the world among those non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) comprises about 85%. Next Generation Sequencing based detection of mutations are now well established in molecular oncology. With the advent of modern diagnostic methods, it is now well known that there are several mutations and gene rearrangements which are associated with the development of LC.

Vulvar adenocarcinoma of the intestinal type (VAIt) is a rare subtype of primary vulvar carcinoma, with ∼30 cases documented in the English literature. This study presents 2 new cases of HPV-independent VAIt with lymph node metastasis and discusses their clinical presentation, histopathologic features, and whole exome sequencing (WES) analysis. Both cases exhibited histologic features consistent with VAIt, including tubular, papillary, and mucinous carcinoma components.

The term verruciform acanthotic vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (vaVIN) was coined to describe HPV-independent p53-wildtype lesions with characteristic clinicopathologic characteristics and association with vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (vSCC). We aimed to expand on the molecular landscape of vaVIN using comprehensive sequencing and copy number variation profiling. vaVIN diagnosis in institutional cases was confirmed by a second review, plus negative p16 and wildtype p53 by immunohistochemistry.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) induce p53-dependent apoptosis in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). To interrogate this phenomenon, a synthetic ITR (SynITR), harboring substitutions in putative p53 binding sites was generated and evaluated for vector production and gene delivery. Replication of SynITR flanked transgenic genome was similar compared to wild type (wt) ITR, with a modest increase in vector titers.
