Summary: This study identified a novel mechanism by which high fructose consumption induces programmed cell death, known as ferroptosis, in glomerular podocytes. The researchers found that mitochondrial single-strand DNA-binding protein 1 (SSBP1) is significantly upregulated in glomeruli of high fructose-fed rats and plays a crucial role in driving ferroptosis. SSBP1 activates DNA-PK/p53 pathway to promote cell death, and depletion of SSBP1 alleviates high fructose-induced podocyte injury. The natural antioxidant pterostilbene was found to inhibit SSBP1 and alleviate podocyte ferroptosis in high fructose-induced glomerular injury.

Summary: This study demonstrates that knocking down the E6AP gene in cervical cancer cells leads to an increase in phosphorylation of the E6 oncoprotein. The phosphorylation of E6 requires the transcriptional activity of p53 and the presence of the enzyme DNA PK. This study defines a feedback loop where activation of p53 induces phosphorylation of E6, which in turn inhibits p53 transcriptional activity independently of E6's ability to degrade p53.

Summary: The DNA-PK-p53 cascade induces primary cilia formation under genotoxic stress, contributing to the DNA damage response, while lack of this pathway decreases genotoxic stress-induced ciliogenesis. Besides, ciliogenesis is regulated not only by DNA-PK, but also by autophagy.

Summary: In this study, the triple-target inhibitor PI-103 sensitized MO59K cells to radiation, but unexpectedly caused radioresistance in the MO59J line. The difference is likely due to low expression of the DNA-PK substrate p53 in MO59J cells, which was further reduced by PI-103. This led to decreased apoptosis in comparison to drug-free MO59J cells and enhanced survival through partially abolished cell-cycle arrest. The findings suggest that the lack of DNA-PK-dependent NHEJ in MO59J line might be compensated by DNA-PK independent DSB repair via an unknown mechanism.

Summary: The biological consequences of low-dose radiation (LDR) in breast cancer are unclear, while high-dose radiation (HDR) promotes DNA repair and cell cycle arrest. Mutant p53 promotes mammary tumorigenesis following LDR, but has negligible effects on tumors carrying the wild-type p53 allele.

Summary: The study reveals that DNA-PK complex may play a role in cellular response to oxidative stress independently from its function in DNA repair. It acts as an anti-apoptotic factor in proliferating PC12 cells under oxidative stress conditions, but inhibition of DNA-PK activity in differentiated PC12 cells leads to accumulation of DNA damage.

Summary: In human glioma, the long noncoding RNA OIP5-AS1 determines the specificity of p53-driven POX expression by binding to the POX promoter. This interaction is essential for POX expression and affects glioma development.

Summary: The tumour suppressor p53 plays a central role in cellular senescence by regulating both senescence-associated stable proliferative arrest and the secretion of bioactive factors known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Senescence is associated with various physiological and pathological conditions, including ageing, cancer, and other age-related disorders. Cell functions are determined by the expression of lineage-specific genes, which are also influenced by p53. Additionally, p53 is tightly regulated at the protein level, and its activity is sustained and fine-tuned during senescence and other prolonged pathological conditions.

Summary: This study demonstrates that Pyxinol can mitigate cisplatin-induced renal injury by attenuating DNA damage response and tubular cell apoptosis. Furthermore, Pyxinol can enhance the in vivo anti-tumor efficacy of cisplatin against xenograft tumors in nude mice. The combination of Pyxinol with cisplatin may represent a beneficial adjunct therapy for cisplatin-based chemotherapeutic regimens in the clinic.

Summary: This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of PARP-1 in DNA repair and protein modification, as well as its interaction with DNA damage repair mechanisms and key transcription factors. It is found that PARP-1 plays a critical role in radiation injury, and PARP-1 inhibitors have the potential to improve the clinical outcomes of radiation damage.

Summary: This study investigated the toxic effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) on gastric mucosal epithelial cells and found that DON can inhibit cell activity, induce DNA damage, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest. These findings are important for understanding the cytotoxicity and gastric diseases caused by DON.

Summary: The p53 pathway is crucial in maintaining genome integrity and its loss of function is associated with the development and therapeutic resistance in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Therapeutic strategies targeting p53 pathway defects include activating wild-type p53, restoring tumor suppressive function in mutant p53, inducing synthetic lethality by targeting collateral genome maintenance pathways, and harnessing the immunogenicity of p53 pathway aberrations.

Summary: The study found that STK160830 has anti-apoptotic effects on irradiated cells, which are p53-dependent. STK160830 inhibits cell death by reducing the expression of multiple proteins and decreasing mRNA expression. Unlike other RNA synthesis inhibitors, STK160830 does not induce p53 accumulation and shows weak DNA-intercalating activity.

Summary: Genetic mutations in tumor suppressor genes can lead to cancer, with mutations in p53 potentially exacerbating toxic effects and impeding DNA interactions, emphasizing the need for new studies to assist in redesigning targeted therapies based on protein structure.

Summary: The study found that RNF216 is overexpressed in GBM and is associated with a poor prognosis. Overexpression of RNF216 promotes GBM cell growth and inhibits apoptosis, while knockdown of RNF216 has the opposite effects. RNF216 overexpression also degrades the p53 protein and negatively regulates the p53 pathway.
