Abstract
Tumor suppressor/transcription factor p53 is mutated in over 50% of all cancers. Some mutant p53 proteins have not only lost tumor suppressor activities but they also gain oncogenic functions ( GOF ). One of the most frequently expressed GOF p53 mutants is Arg175His (p53 R175H ) with well‐documented roles in cancer development and progression. Plakoglobin is a cell adhesion and signaling protein and a paralog of β‐catenin. Unlike β‐catenin that has oncogenic function through its role in the Wnt pathway, plakoglobin generally acts as a tumor/metastasis suppressor. We have shown that plakoglobin interacted with wild type and a number of p53 mutants in various carcinoma cell lines. Plakoglobin and mutant p53 interacted with the promoter and regulated the expression of several p53 target genes. Furthermore, plakoglobin interactions with p53 mutants restored their tumor suppressor/metastasis activities in vitro. GOF p53 mutants induce accumulation and oncogenic activation of β‐catenin. Previously, we showed that one mechanism by which plakoglobin may suppress tumorigenesis is by sequestering β‐catenin's oncogenic activity. Here, we examined the effects of p53 R175H expression on β‐catenin accumulation and transcriptional activation and their modifications by plakoglobin coexpression. We showed that p53 R175H expression in plakoglobin null cells increased total and nuclear levels of β‐catenin and its transcriptional activity. Coexpression of plakoglobin in these cells promoted β‐catenin's proteasomal degradation, and decreased its nuclear levels and transactivation. Wnt/β‐catenin targets, c‐ MYC and S100A4 were upregulated in p53 R175H cells and were downregulated when plakoglobin was coexpressed. Plakoglobin‐p53 R175H cells also showed significant reduction in their migration and invasion in vitro.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
