摘要:
Induction of apoptosis by the tumor suppressor p53 is known to protect from Myc-driven lymphomagenesis. The p53 family member p73 is also a pro-apoptotic protein, which is activated in response to oncogenes like Myc. We therefore investigated whether p73 provides a similar protection from Myc-driven lymphomas as p53. To generate B-cell lymphomas with defined genetic alterations in p53 or p73, we crossed the Eµ-Myc transgenic to mice heterozygous for germ-line deletions in p53 (p53+/) or p73 (p73+/-). Lymphomas which have spontaneously developed in Eµ-Myc transgenic animals with the genotypes p53+/+, p53+/-, p73+/+, p73+/- or p73-/- were isolated when the animals were moribund and further processed for gene expression profiling with 22.5K cDNA microarrays.
