December 2011 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry” The study explored the roles of p63 and MYC in regulating keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation, revealing that p63 is crucial for maintaining growth and committing to differentiation through distinct mechanisms. Knockdown of p63 led to reduced MYC expression via the Wnt/β-catenin and Notch pathways, decreasing keratinocyte proliferation. A p63-controlled network, involving proteins like FN1, IL1B, CYR61, and JAG1, was essential for initiating differentiation. The research established a novel link between p63 and MYC, suggesting that the balance between MYC-driven cell cycle progression and p63-driven cell adhesion networks could determine skin cell fate.
