Description
In this preclinical study, MMTV-Wnt1 mammary tumors with mutant TP53 showed a better clinical response to chemotherapy (doxorubicin) than TP53 wild-type tumors. This was mediated by wild-type TP53-induced cell-arrest under chemotherapy even in the context of heterozygous TP53 point mutations or absence of p21. Thus the status of both TP53 alleles should be assessed because even one copy of wild-type TP53 may contribute to poor response to chemotherapy.
