p53-loss induced prostatic epithelial cell plasticity and invasion is driven by a crosstalk with the tumor microenvironment by Darya Yanushko, Beatriz German Falcon, Rana El Bizri, Despoina Pervizou, Robin Dolgos, Céline Keime, Tao Ye, Christelle Thibault-Carpentier, Clementine Le Magnen, Sandrine Henri, Gilles Laverny, Daniel Metzger

“…The progression of solid tumors to metastasis is often associated with increased cell plasticity, but the complex events underlying TP53-loss-induced disease aggressiveness remain incompletely understood. Using genetically engineered mice, we show that Trp53 deficiency in Pten-null prostatic epithelial cells (PECs) does not impact early cell proliferation and neoplasia formation, nor growth arrest and senescence entry at a later time. …”
