Tumor progression involves evading cellular checkpoints, including apoptosis, a key defense against malignancy. Resistance to apoptosis often occurs through disruption of tumor suppressor pathways, notably p53. As a critical transcription factor, p53 mediates responses to genetic damage and oncogenic stress by inducing cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, and apoptosis. Understanding how p53-driven apoptotic signaling is regulated—and how it becomes impaired during tumor evolution—is essential for developing therapies aimed at restoring apoptotic sensitivity, a major goal in cancer treatment. 000000870 540__ $$fCC BY 000000870 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000870 650__ $$aOncogenes$$023203 000000870 650__ $$aApoptosis$$029778 000000870 650__ $$aProtein Isoforms$$032074 000000870 650__ $$aTumor Suppressor Protein p53$$028922 000000870 650__ $$aApoptosis Regulatory Proteins$$036672 000000870 650__ $$aMembrane Proteins$$022009 000000870 650__ $$aProto-Oncogene Proteins c-myc$$029021 000000870 650__ $$aNeoplastic Processes$$022774 000000870 650__ $$aNeoplasms$$022758 000000870 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000870 692__ $$aDepartment of Cell, Developmental and Cancer Biology$$041399 000000870 7001_ $$aVan Hook, Kathryn$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000870 8564_ $$92cd98751-40b3-4365-9a9d-eb304a703578$$s2592298$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/870/files/873_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$25ef6e05fbf7f81903b3cc1cd030c00c1$$31 000000870 905__ $$a/rest/prod/gm/80/hv/40/gm80hv408 000000870 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:870$$pstudent-work 000000870 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000870 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
