Description

In this seminar we use a mouse model and human studies of p53 to show that an African-specific genetic variant of p53 called Y107H is defective for tumor suppression. We show that we can identify anti-cancer drugs that are preferentially cytotoxic to Y107H tumor cells. And we use Y107H as a way to highlight the p53 target gene PADI4, which citrullinates tumor antigens, as critical for tumor suppression by p53.

Dates and Times

Start: 6/1/2023 12:00 AM
End: 6/1/2023 7:00 PM

Objectives

1. Understand the role of p53 in tumor suppression
2. Understand the difference between a mutant form of p53 in cancer, and a cancer-predisposing ‘hypomorph’ of p53
3. Understand the role of the p53 target gene PADI4 in tumor suppression and immune recognition of cancer

Speakers

  • Maureen Murphy, PhD
    • Out of Africa: The Genetics of Tumor Suppression by p53
