Popis: | Immunohistochemical evaluation of serial stored paraffin sections from 42 keratoacanthomas and 11 squamous cell carcinomas demonstrated that skin tumors from UVB-exposed mice showed an inverse relationship (>95%) between p53 protein expression and phospho-Chk1 (Ser317), but not phospho-Chk1 (Ser345) protein expression. Tumors expressing high levels and large areas of p53 protein had no detectable phospho-Chk1 (Ser317), whereas tumors expressing high levels and large areas of phospho-Chk1 (Ser317) protein had no detectable p53. Squamous cell carcinomas that demonstrated heterogeneous p53 and phospho-Chk1 (Ser317) protein expression within the same tumor showed that areas expressing p53 were negative for phospho-Chk1 (Ser317) immunostaining while areas expressing phospho-Chk1 (Ser317) were negative for p53. Similar patterns were observed for keratoacanthomas. These findings were also observed in epidermal areas distant from tumors that demonstrated no detectable phospho-Chk1 (Ser317), but appreciable p53 protein in the basal layer. Tumors from congenic hairless p53 knockout mice had elevated levels of phospho-Chk1 (Ser317) compared to tumors from p53 wild-type SKH-1 controls. After a single exposure to UVB, normal epidermal cells from a p53 knockout mouse expressed a relatively high level of phospho-Chk1 (Ser317) where as epidermal cells from a p53wild-type littermate induced p53 protein and expressed a relatively low level of phospho-Chk1 (Ser317). These data illustrate the dynamic regulation of checkpoint function, suggesting that phosphorylation of Chk1 on Serine 317 is regulated by p53 status and that p53 may act as a molecular on/off switch for phosphorylation at this site. |
