Gain-of-function mutant p53 together with ERG proto-oncogene drive prostate cancer by beta-catenin activation and pyrimidine synthesis

Abstract Whether TMPRSS2-ERG fusion and TP53 gene alteration coordinately promote prostate cancer (PCa) remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that TMPRSS2-ERG fusion and TP53 mutation / deletion co-occur in PCa patient specimens and this co-occurrence accelerates prostatic oncogenesis. p53 gain-of-fu...
