Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 577: Comprehensive Bioinformatic Investigation of TP53 Dysregulation in Diverse Cancer Landscapes Genes doi: 10.3390/genes15050577 Authors: Ruby Khan Bakht Pari Krzysztof Puszynski P53 overexpression plays a critical role in cancer pathogenesis by disrupting the intricate regulation of cellular proliferation. Despite its firmly established function as a tumor suppressor, elevated p53 levels can paradoxically contribute to tumorigenesis, influenced by factors such as exposure to carcinogens, genetic mutations, and viral infections. This phenomenon is observed across a spectrum of cancer types, including bladder (BLCA), ovarian (OV), cervical (CESC), cholangiocarcinoma (CHOL), colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBC), esophageal carcinoma (ESCA), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), kidney chromophobe (KICH), kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), and uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC). This broad spectrum of cancers is often associated with increased aggressiveness and recurrence risk. Effective therapeutic strategies targeting tumors with p53 overexpression require a comprehensive approach, integrating targeted interventions aimed at the p53 gene with conventional modalities such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted drugs. In this extensive study, we present a detailed analysis shedd...
