Genetic alterations and aberrant gene expression trigger malignant tumors. Tumor suppressor p53 is the most altered gene in human cancers. p53 induces apoptosis by promoting pro-apoptotic genes in response to DNA damage. Protein kinase C delta (PKC delta) also induces apoptosis via various mechanisms including modification of p53. The PKC delta-dependent apoptotic mechanism has been extensively studied; however, the transcriptional regulation of PKC delta remains obscure. The current study demonstrates the transcriptional regulation of PKC delta by p53 upon genotoxic stress. The p53-binding site in the promoter region of PKC delta was detected by the ChIP-sequencing assay. Notably, the expression of PKC delta was increased upon DNA damage, which is required for the stabilization of p53. More importantly, targeting single guide RNA-driven dead Cas9 to the p53-binding site of PKC delta disturbed p53-promoted PKC delta expression and suppressed apoptosis following DNA damage. Thus, our findings suggest that the transcriptional regulation of PKC delta is controlled by p53 in a positive feedback mechanism to induce apoptosis in response to DNA damage.
