MYC and neoplasm: In fact, if one considers that p53-α isoforms appear more abundant than p53-AS isoforms in wild-type cells, and that the loss of p53-AS isoforms correlated with a decrease in p53-α levels in the thymocytes and tumor lymph nodes of mutant mice, then it seems likely that the reduced transactivation of Ackr4 in the splenic cells of Trp53ΔAS/ΔAS Eμ-Myc males could mainly result from decreased p53-α levels, rather than the loss of p53-AS isoforms per se.
