P53 Plays a critical role in the host and tumor response to radiation and chemotherapy. P53 can be selectively reactivated in tumor cells - target for gene therapy MDM2 Binds to the amino terminus of p53 and blocks p53 activity. Blocking p53-MDM2 interaction would be a way to activate p53 without having to expose cells to genotoxic drugs.

• Plays a critical role in the host and tumor response to radiation and chemotherapy • It seems that p53 can be selectively reactivated in tumor cells → target for gene therapy MDM2 • Binds to the amino terminus of p53 and blocks p53 activity • Prediction: blocking p53-MDM2 interaction would be a way to activate p53 without having to expose cells to genotoxic drugs In vivo activation of the p53 pathway by small- molecule antagonists of MDM2

3 mechanisms to repress p53 by activation of MDM2-expression:
1. MDM2 binds p52 at transactivation domain and blocks its ability to
acitvate transcription 2. MDM2 is involved in the nuclear export of p53 3. MDM2 serves as a ubiquitin ligase that promotes p53 degradation 3 mechanisms to repress p53 by activation of MDM2-expression:
1. MDM2 binds p52 at transactivatin domain and blocks its ability to
acitvate transcription 2. MDM2 is involved in the nuclear export of p53 3. MDM2 serves as a ubiquitin ligase that promotes p53 degradation
Mdm2 gene is amplified or overexpressed in many human cancers
→ Activation of p53 pathway through inhibition of MDM2 has been
proposed as a novel therapeutic strategy Series of cis-imidazoline analogs that were named Nutlins (for Nutley inhibitor)
Mode of binding of Nutlin in
MDM2-p53 complex The treatment of cells with an inhibitor of MDM2-p53 binding should result in 1. Stabilization and accumulation of p53 2. Activation of MDM2 expression 3. Activation of other p53-regulated genes and p53 pathway
At cellular level: cell cycle arrest in G1 and G2 phases and/or
apoptosis
Effect of MDM2 inhibitors on the cellular levels
of p53, MDM2 and p21
Mut p53 wt p53
Nutlin-1 treatment induces the expression of p21 gene but not the p53 gene
Nutlins up-regulate p53 by means
of a posttranslational mechanism Cell cycle arrest of wt p53 cancer cell lines in G1 and G2 due to Nutlin-1 Effect of Nutlin-1 on growth and viability of cultured cancer cells Effect of Nutlin-3a and Nutlin-3b on expression of p21, MDM2 and p53 in wt p53 and mut p53-cells
→ Only Nutlin-3a activates expression of p21 and MDM2
Confirmation of the protein level by
Western blotting Effect of Nutlin-3a and -3b on growth and viability of wt p53 and mut53 cells Ability of Nutlin-3 to induce apoptosis in cancer cells with wt p53
After 48 hours Nutlin-3a incubation 45% of cell population showed
apoptosis In vivo antitumor activity of Nutlin-3 SUMMARY
Nutlins are a class of stuctures with high potency and
selectivity for reactivating p53 by inhibition of p53-MDM3 interaction Activity of Nutlins is dependent on p53 status There are two enantiomers of Nutlin-3. Activation of p53 and apoptosis induction by Nutlin-3 is enantiomer specific The data strengthen the notion that activation of p53 by inhibition of MDM2 binding is a potentially valuable strategy for treating cancer
