Abstract
Type I interferons (IFN-Is) are a class of proinflammatory cytokines produced in response to viruses and environmental stimulations, resulting in chronic inflammation and even carcinogenesis. However, the connection between IFN-I and p53 mutation is poorly understood. Here, we investigated IFN-I status in the context of mutant p53 (p53N236S , p53S). We observed significant cytosolic double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) derived from nuclear heterochromatin in p53S cells, along with an increased expression of IFN-stimulated genes. Further study revealed that p53S promoted cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) and IFN-regulatory factor 9 (IRF9) expression, thus activating the IFN-I pathway. However, p53S/S mice were more susceptible to herpes simplex virus 1 infection, and the cGAS-stimulator of IFN genes (STING) pathway showed a decline trend in p53S cells in response to poly(dA:dT) accompanied with decreased IFN-β and IFN-stimulated genes, whereas the IRF9 increased in response to IFN-β stimulation. Our results illustrated the p53S mutation leads to low-grade IFN-I-induced inflammation via consistent low activation of the cGAS-STING-IFN-I axis, and STAT1-IRF9 pathway, therefore, impairs the protective cGAS-STING signalling and IFN-I response encountered with exogenous DNA attack. These results suggested the dual molecular mechanisms of p53S mutation in inflammation regulation. Our results could be helping in further understanding of mutant p53 function in chronic inflammation and provide information for developing new therapeutic strategies for chronic inflammatory diseases or cancer.

Gain of function in the mouse model of a recurrent mutation p53 N236S promotes the formation of double minute chromosomes and the oncogenic potential of p19 ARF. Mol Carcinog 2017; 57:147-158.

Abstract
The mutation p53N236S (p53S) has been identified as one of the recurrent mutations in human cancers by TCGA database. Our in vitro data revealed the oncogenic gain of function of p53S. To understand the function of p53S in vivo, we generated the p53S knock-in mouse. The p53S/S mice manifested highly invasive lymphomas and metastatic sarcomas with dramatically increased double minute chromosomes. The survival curve, the incidence of tumors and the tumor spectrum of p53S/S mice is very similar to the p53R172H mouse model. The p53S/+ mice showed delayed onset of tumorigenesis and a high metastasis rate (40%) and low loss of heterozygosity rate (2/16). The activation of CDKN2A pathway in p53S/S MEF and tumors, and the accumulation of p19ARF protein in tumor tissues suggested p19ARF might contribute to the accumulation of mutant p53S protein in the tumor and promote tumorigenesis. The high expression of p19ARF correlated with mutant p53 accumulation and tumor progression, suggesting a dual role of p19ARF in tumor promotion or suppression that might depend on the p53 mutation status in tumor cells. The oncogenic gain of function of this recurrent mutation p53S prompts the reconsideration of p53 mutations function that occurs at a low frequency.
