TLDR
The data conclusively demonstrate that loss of p53 function is a requirement for progression of Friend erythroleukemia in vivo, and demonstrate that ERYthroleukemias arising in Friend virus-infected p53 null mice are biologically and genetically distinct from those that occur in wild type animals, suggesting that the temporal order of PU.1 and p53 mutations is an important parameter in the pathogenesis of leukemic development.Abstract:
A role for p53 in the in vivo progression of Friend virus-induced erythroleukemia has been suggested but not clearly defined. We developed a Friend virus-sensitive, p53-deficient mouse model to directly address the role of p53 in Friend erythroleukemia. When infected with the polycythemia-inducing strain of Friend virus (FVP), p53 null mice exhibited accelerated progression to erythroleukemia and accelerated death following diagnosis when compared to wild type mice. Confirmation that p53 mutations were required for disease progression was provided by sequence analysis of p53 transcripts in leukemic wild type and heterozygous mice. All transcripts evaluated had point mutations, deletions or insertions in the p53 gene. The ability to grow tumor colonies in vitro and derive cell lines was enhanced in FVP-infected p53 null animals. Although PU.1 oncogene overexpression is a common mutation observed in cell lines derived from Friend virus-infected p53 wild type mice, it was not a universal finding in cell lines derived from p53 null animals. Our data conclusively demonstrate that loss of p53 function is a requirement for progression of Friend erythroleukemia in vivo. Further, the data demonstrate that erythroleukemias arising in Friend virus-infected p53 null mice are biologically and genetically distinct from those that occur in wild type animals, suggesting that the temporal order of PU.1 and p53 mutations is an important parameter in the pathogenesis of leukemic development.read more

TL;DR: Observations indicate that a normal p53 gene is dispensable for embryonic development, that its absence predisposes the animal to neoplastic disease, and that an oncogenic mutant form of p53 is not obligatory for the genesis of many types of tumours.

TL;DR: It is reaffirm that p53 function is not required for normal mouse development and conclude that p 53 status can strongly influence tumor latency and tissue distribution.

TL;DR: Loss of wild-type p53 may lead to amplification, possibly caused by changes in cell cycle progression, since tumor cells with wild- type p53 have the ability to amplify genes.

TL;DR: MEFs that survive myc overexpression sustain p53 mutation or ARF loss during the process of establishment and become immortal, and ARF regulates a p53-dependent checkpoint that safeguards cells against hyperproliferative, oncogenic signals.
