Increased Expression of the Δ133p53β Isoform Enhances Brain Metastasis

The Δ133p53β isoform is increased in many primary tumors and has many tumor-promoting properties that contribute to increased proliferation, migration and inflammation. Here we investigated whether Δ133p53β contributed to some of the most aggressive tumors that had metastasized to the brain. <i&g...

description The Δ133p53β isoform is increased in many primary tumors and has many tumor-promoting properties that contribute to increased proliferation, migration and inflammation. Here we investigated whether Δ133p53β contributed to some of the most aggressive tumors that had metastasized to the brain. <i>Δ133p53β</i> mRNA expression was measured in lung, breast, melanoma, colorectal metastases and, where available, the matched primary tumor. The presence of <i>Δ133p53β</i> expression was associated with the time for the primary tumor to metastasize and overall survival once the tumor was detected in the brain. <i>Δ133p53β</i> was present in over 50% of lung, breast, melanoma and colorectal metastases to the brain. It was also increased in the brain metastases compared with the matched primary tumor. Brain metastases with <i>Δ133p53β</i> expressed were associated with a reduced time for the primary tumor to metastasize to the brain compared with tumors with no <i>Δ133p53β</i> expression. In-vitro-based analyses in Δ133p53β-expressing cells showed increased cancer-promoting proteins on the cell surface and increased downstream p-AKT and p-MAPK signaling. Δ133p53β-expressing cells also invaded more readily across a mock blood–brain barrier. Together these data suggested that Δ133p53β contributes to brain metastases by making cells more likely to invade the brain.
