Loss of p73 promoted malignant conversion of keratinocytes to squamous cell carcinoma and conferred resistance to ionizing radiation, effects reversible by reconstitution of TAp73α but not ΔNp73α. p73 was shown to functionally cooperate with transcriptionally active p63 isoforms to regulate cell cycle arrest and gene expression, while its tumor suppressive role was uncoupled from radiation sensitivity. These findings highlight p73 as a critical regulator of p53 family balance, tumor suppression, and treatment response. 000000309 540__ $$fCC BY 000000309 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000309 650__ $$aNeoplastic Processes$$022774 000000309 650__ $$aDNA Damage$$017979 000000309 650__ $$aKeratinocytes$$028512 000000309 650__ $$aRadiation$$025066 000000309 650__ $$aDNA-Binding Proteins$$017998 000000309 650__ $$aCarcinogenesis$$040251 000000309 650__ $$aDNA Repair$$017990 000000309 650__ $$aEpithelial Cells$$018550 000000309 650__ $$aTumor Suppressor Protein p53$$028922 000000309 650__ $$aRadiation, Nonionizing$$025079 000000309 650__ $$aUltraviolet Rays$$027554 000000309 650__ $$aRadiation, Ionizing$$025078 000000309 6531_ $$ap63 000000309 6531_ $$ap73 000000309 6531_ $$asquamous cell carcinogenesis 000000309 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000309 692__ $$aDepartment of Molecular and Medical Genetics$$041428 000000309 7001_ $$aJohnson, Jodi$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000309 7201_ $$aMartin-Kulesz, Molly$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor$$eMentor 000000309 8564_ $$96bb014d2-6c65-4a9b-aadf-cd756c859f18$$s5349615$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/309/files/309_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2bbfb9772f2329d7d6296f53db7b40977$$31 000000309 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
