Cancer-associated S100P protein binds and inactivates p53, permits therapy-induced senescence and supports chemoresistance.

ABSTRACT: S100P belongs to the S100 family of calcium-binding proteins regulating diverse cellular processes. Certain S100 family members (S100A4 and S100B) are associated with cancer and used as biomarkers of metastatic phenotype. Also S100P is abnormally expressed in tumors and implicated in migration-invasion, survival, and response to therapy. Here we show that S100P binds the tumor suppressor protein p53 as well as its negative regulator HDM2, and that this interaction perturbs the p53-HDM2 binding and increases the p53 level. Paradoxically, the S100P-induced p53 is unable to activate its transcriptional targets hdm2, p21WAF, and bax following the DNA damage. This appears to be related to reduced phosphorylation of serine residues in both N-terminal and C-terminal regions of the p53 molecule. Furthermore, the S100P expression results in lower levels of pro-apoptotic proteins, in reduced cell death response to cytotoxic treatments, followed by stimulation of therapy-induced senescence and increased clonogenic survival. Conversely, the S100P silencing suppresses the ability of cancer cells to survive the DNA damage and form colonies. Thus, we propose that the oncogenic role of S100P involves binding and inactivation of p53, which leads to aberrant DNA damage responses linked with senescence and escape to proliferation. Thereby, the S100P protein may contribute to the outgrowth of aggressive tumor cells resistant to cytotoxic therapy and promote cancer progression.

Project description:BACKGROUND: P53 activation can trigger various outcomes, among them reversible growth arrest or cellular senescence. It is a live debate whether these outcomes are influenced by quantitative or qualitative mechanisms. Furthermore, the relative contribution of p53 to Ras-induced senescence is also matter of controversy. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: This study compared situations in which different signals drove senescence with increasing levels of p53 activation. The study revealed that the levels of p53 activation do not determine the outcome of the response. This is further confirmed by the clustering of transcriptional patterns into two broad groups: p53-activated or p53-inactivated, i.e., growth and cellular arrest/senescence. Furthermore, while p53-dependent transcription decreases after 24 hrs in the presence of active p53, senescence continues. Maintaining cells in the arrested state for long periods does not switch reversible arrest to cellular senescence. Together, these data suggest that a Ras-dependent, p53-independent, second signal is necessary to induce senescence. This study tested whether PPP1CA (the catalytic subunit of PP1alpha), recently identified as contributing to Ras-induced senescence, might be this second signal. PPP1CA is induced by Ras; its inactivation inhibits Ras-induced senescence, presumably by inhibiting pRb dephosphorylation. Finally, PPP1CA seems to strongly co-localize with pRb only during senescence. CONCLUSIONS: The levels of p53 activation do not determine the outcome of the response. Rather, p53 activity seems to act as a necessary but not sufficient condition for senescence to arise. Maintaining cells in the arrested state for long periods does not switch reversible arrest to cellular senescence. PPP1CA is induced by Ras; its inactivation inhibits Ras-induced senescence, presumably by inhibiting pRb dephosphorylation. Finally, PPP1CA seems to strongly co-localize with pRb only during senescence, suggesting that PP1alpha activation during senescence may be the second signal contributing to the irreversibility of the senescent phenotype.
