Increased mTOR activity and metabolic efficiency in mouse and human cells containing the African-centric tumor-predisposing p53 variant Pro47Ser
2020-02-15
Abstract excerpt
The Pro47Ser variant of p53 exists in African-descent populations, and is associated with increased cancer risk in humans and mice. This variant, hereafter S47, shows altered regulation of the cystine importer Slc7a11 , and S47 cells possess increased cysteine and glutathione (GSH) accumulation compared to cells with wild type p53. In this study we show that mice containing the S47 variant have increased mTOR act...
