Accumulation of inactive p53 protein in oral squamous cell carcinoma: stabilization by protein interaction

Our previous study showed that p53 protein is accumulated in >60% of cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its overexpression is related to poor prognosis. However, the mechanism behind this is still elusive. The present study attempts to dissect p53 alterations at various levels from...

Zusammenfassung:Our previous study showed that p53 protein is accumulated in >60% of cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its overexpression is related to poor prognosis. However, the mechanism behind this is still elusive. The present study attempts to dissect p53 alterations at various levels from gene to function in tumor biopsies to understand whether molecular alterations have any relationship with the accumulation of p53 protein in OSCC. Protein‐stabilizing mutations were observed in only 13.8% of the samples. Neither p53 polymorphisms nor human papillomavirus (HPV) infection (
