To establish a strict p53-dependent gene expression profile, TP53-/- clones were derived from TP53+/+ and TP53-/mut t(4;14) human myeloma cell lines (HMCLs) using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. From the 17 dysregulated genes shared between the TP53-/- clones from TP53+/+ HMCLs, we established a functional p53 score, involving 13 genes specifically downregulated upon p53 silencing. This functional score segregated clones and myeloma cell lines, as well as other cancer cell lines according to their TP53 status. The score was efficient to identify myeloma patient samples with biallelic TP53 inactivation and was predictive of overall survival in MMRF-coMMpass and CASSIOPEA cohorts...
