Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) is a rare cancer pre-disposition syndrome associated with a germline mutation in the TP53 tumour suppressor gene. People with LFS have a 90% chance of suffering one or more cancers in their lifetime. No treatments exist to reduce this cancer risk.

Li-Fraumeni Syndrome TP53 drug re-purposing pre-cancer niche

1. Introduction

Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic condition that pre-disposes sufferers to develop one or more cancers [1][2]. It is associated with pathogenic germ-line variants in TP53 and has an estimated penetrance of 80–90%, higher than in other cancer pre-disposition syndromes, for example that associated with BRCA1 or BRCA2 [2][3][4]. LFS is associated with a range of cancers including bone and soft tissue sarcomas, early onset breast cancer, choroid plexus carcinoma and adrenocortical carcinoma [1][4]. Although these are considered the ‘signature’ cancers associated with a germline TP53 mutation, it should be noted that LFS pre-disposes one to a far wider range of cancers, including leukaemia, lung cancer and other more common malignancies. In addition to an unusual range of cancer types, there also appears to be a temporal component to cancer incidence, with peaks in childhood and again in the early-30s, the latter associated with the high rate of breast cancer in women [4]. The risk of developing subsequent primary cancers after the first are also very high, with data showing that 49% of people with LFS go on to develop one or more primaries within a median of 10 years [5].
While most people with LFS have inherited a pathogenic TP53 variant, there are also de novo cases, with estimates ranging up to 20% of diagnosed cases [6]. However, such estimates may be subject to detection bias as lower penetrant de novo variants are detected at a lower rate than highly penetrant variants and inherited cases.

2. The Pre-Cancer Niche

The concept of the pre-metastatic niche, proposed by David Lyden and colleagues, posits that the process of metastasis depends as much on the preparation of the receptive and supportive micro-environment at the metastatic site as it does on the properties of the metastatic cell itself [7][8]. Crucially, the process depends on factors secreted by the primary tumour to prime the niche sites to create a permissive environment for the growth of circulating tumour cells which can preferentially home to the niche and take root there. An extension of this idea describes the evolution of the primary cancer niche as a multi-step process of carcinogenesis [9].
The pre-cancerous niche hypothesis proposes that a similar process precedes the establishment of primary tumours in LFS [10]. In particular, the hypothesis suggests that pathogenic germline TP53 variants facilitate the creation of these pre-malignant niches. Key drivers for this process are: chronic inflammation and oxidative stress; pro-angiogenic signalling; immune dysregulation; metabolic plasticity; and tissue-specific interactions—with aberrant p53 as a central driver of the process. Furthermore, the pre-cancerous niche itself may cause additional mutational events to occur in local cells which, together with a defective apoptotic apparatus, ensures that cancer initiation takes place in an environment that is permissive and supportive of transformed cells.
Certain phenotypic features that are common to healthy (i.e., non-cancer-carrying), people with LFS add support to this hypothesis. The relationship between chronic inflammation, oxidative stress and p53 signalling is well characterised in numerous pre-cancerous or inflammatory conditions [11][12][13][14]. It is also known that cancer-free LFS sufferers exhibit clinical signs of increased levels of oxidative stress compared to a paired group of non-affected family members (i.e., without TP53 mutations) [15]. Furthermore, mutant p53 has been shown to fine-tune anti-oxidant responses, via NRF2, to support the survival of transformed cells [16].
A pro-angiogenic micro-environment is also a factor in the pre-cancerous niche. Fibroblasts derived from LFS patients confirm that loss of the wild-type p53 allele is sufficient to decrease TSP-1 expression and an increase in VEGF [17]. There is also some evidence that gain-of-function (GOF) TP53 mutations (including R175H and R273H common in people with LFS) have been shown to have tumour angiogenesis-promoting activity [18][19].
Metabolic plasticity is one of the hallmarks of cancer in which p53 signalling plays a central role [20]. Evidence from many cancer types, including from some ‘core’ LFS cancers such as osteosarcoma [21], show the emergence of complex metabolic pockets or compartments within tumours and stroma, including Warburg and reverse Warburg phenotypes, such that metabolites are shuttled between compartments in a process of metabolic adaptation [22][23][24]. In the case of LFS, it has been proposed that such a complex evolutionary process, driven in large part by increased oxidative stress and aberrant p53, is a major factor in carcinogenesis [25]. Notably, a key marker for this multi-compartment metabolic phenotype is loss of stromal cav-1 expression [26], and this finding has been confirmed in people with LFS compared to non-affected family members [27]. Other studies have shown that people with LFS have increased oxidative metabolism compared to non-carriers, a finding in line with data from murine models of LFS [28].
To date, there has been no published analysis examining differences in immune responses between family members harbouring pathogenic TP53 variants and related wild-type carriers. However, the role of p53 in the immune response is complex, with both direct and indirect effects reported [29]. A review summarises the data on the impact of mutant p53 on immune dysfunction, showing that it contributes to the creation of a pro-tumour micro-environment, particularly via up-regulation of NF-kB [30]. Mutant p53 also targets toll-like receptor activity in response to chronic inflammation and increased oxidative stress [31][32]. Indirect effects on immunity arise from the metabolic changes induced by mutant p53, for example via increased acidity in the micro-environment.
Given the very specific pattern of LFS cancers, and the fact that the same pathogenic variants within families may manifest in a wide range of cancer types, it is difficult to correlate specific variants with clinical variability [33]. Tissue-specific factors may play a role here. For example, a comparison of breast adipose tissue between women with and without LFS showed a statistically significantly increased aromatase expression in the LFS women [34]. Furthermore, it is also showed that prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a key inflammatory factor, acts as a negative regulator of p53. This finding may in part explain the distinct pattern of breast cancer phenotypes in women with LFS, with data showing that 84% of invasive tumours were hormone-responsive (ER and/or PR), with a majority of these also being positive for Her2/neu, figures which are higher than for the non-LFS population [35].
Together, these various factors, summarised in Figure 1, combine to form pre-cancerous niches which can both drive malignant transformation in individual cells and provide a supportive environment for these transformed cells to proliferate and ultimately form tumours [10]. Again, evidence from non-cancer-bearing individuals with LFS supports such a hypothesis. A comparison of telomere length of people with LFS compared to non-affected family members shows that TP53 mutation carriers have shorter telomeres [36][37], which may be related to the age of cancer onset [38][39]. Researchers posit that telomere attrition, a process that is exacerbated by the oxidative and other cellular stresses previously described, eventually leads to telomere crisis and consequent DNA damage and, hence, malignant transformation, as shown in Figure 2. Alternatively, the high levels of oxidative stress cause additional DNA damage, including loss of heterozygosity, and initiate malignant transformation. There is supporting evidence that cells from LFS patients display greater levels of DNA damage (chromosomal instability, senescence, etc.) [40][41][42]. One could characterise this process of accelerated telomere attrition and/or oxidative damage due to pathogenic TP53 variants as a form of accelerated host aging—again, this is a known factor in carcinogenesis [43]. DNA methylation age (Horvath age) is an epigenetic measure of aging that correlates with telomere length and can provide an alternative measure of accelerated aging [44]. Recent data show that Horvath age differed from chronological age in people with LFS compared to non-LFS individuals and that the accelerated aging was associated with cancer incidence [45]. It should also be noted that maternal stress is associated with shorter telomere length in children [46]. Given the severe psychological stress associated with LFS and incidences of cancer, it may be that this is a factor in explaining the younger age of cancer onset in succeeding generations in LFS families (genetic anticipation) [39][47].
Figure 1. Mutated p53 function leads to the creation of a pre-cancerous niche. Mutant p53 drives the creation of specific biological niches in which chronic inflammatory responses, including elevated basal oxidative stress, metabolic reprogramming, the release of pro-angiogenic factors and immune dysregulation combine to create the conditions conducive to malignant transformation. Increased oxidative stress and/or telomere attrition and tissue-specific factors, for example increased aromatase expression in the breast, contribute to additional genetic events leading to cancer initiation that arises in these cancer-supporting niches.
Figure 2. Cancer initiation in the pre-cancer niche. (A). Cells within the precancerous niche undergo telomere attrition or suffer genetic damage due to elevated oxidative stress. (B). Telomere crisis or further DNA damage may lead to loss of heterozygosity and malignant transformation. (C). Malignant cells in contact with chronically inflamed pre-cancerous niches proliferate and initiate tumour growth.
An interesting experimental illustration of this process comes from an animal model of LFS in which mice differing in Trp53 status were treated with either surgical implantation of a foreign object to induce chronic inflammation or a sham operation [48]. In 30/38 (79%) cases, mice with heterozygous Trp53 developed sarcomas around the implant site at a mean of 46 weeks, compared to one (10%) of the wild-type mice at 56 weeks. No sarcomas developed at the sites of sham operation, and 2/10 (20%) control heterozygous mice (with no implant) also developed sarcomas at a mean age of 80 weeks. Significantly, 90% of implant-induced sarcomas showed loss of heterozygosity, suggesting a causative effect from the chronic inflammation induced by the implant.
One obvious consequence of this view of carcinogenesis in LFS is that altering or ameliorating the pro-tumour elements of the pre-cancer niche may therefore reduce the incidence of cancer.

3. Drugging the Undruggable

Lynch syndrome, also known as hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), is another autosomal dominant cancer pre-disposition syndrome that is associated with elevated risks of colorectal, endometrial and other cancers [49][50]. Long-term follow-up of the CAPP2 double-blind randomised placebo-controlled trial of aspirin in people with Lynch syndrome showed that it reduced the incidence of colorectal cancer, with a significantly reduced hazard ratio (HR) of 0.65 (95% CI 0.43–0.97; p = 0.035) for aspirin versus placebo, although no effect was shown in non-colorectal cancers [51].
These results are significant not only for patients with Lynch syndrome and clinicians but also for other cancer pre-disposition syndromes. It illustrates the case that the cancer risks arising from genetic pre-disposition can be reduced using medications that impact the pathways associated with carcinogenesis. Furthermore, the efficacy of the drug intervention can be shown through the use of appropriate clinical trial designs.
The specific use of aspirin is further interesting in that it may be paradigmatic of the broader approach to reducing cancer incidence in very high-risk populations. Notably, the approach has been to use an existing, licensed drug rather than to create a new molecular entity—in other words, a development approach based on drug re-purposing. Re-purposing benefits from the use of existing data on drug safety, posology, pharmacokinetics and knowledge of mechanisms of action, in addition to the easy availability of the medications and lower drug costs, particularly in the case of generics [52][53]. In the case of cancer prevention in specific high-risk populations, it is likely that treatments will extend for many years, perhaps even across a patient’s lifetime; therefore, candidate drugs must have long-term safety and tolerability data. Drugs used for chronic diseases or designed for long-term use may therefore have additional benefit as re-purposing candidates. In contrast, there can be no long-term data on newly developed medicines. One consequence is that clinical trials investigating the cancer prevention effects of re-purposed drugs can proceed relatively quickly, as early phase safety trials are not required if the drug is going to be used at a similar dose and schedule to the original use of the drug. It is also worth noting that when treatment extends for many years, drug costs will also become a factor in health technology assessment; therefore, low-cost re-purposing candidates may also be more attractive in this respect.
