Description

p53 plays a key role in tumor suppression. The tumor suppressive function of p53 has long been attributed to its ability to induce apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and senescence. Interestingly, recent studies have suggested that other functions of p53 also contribute to its role as a tumor suppressor, such as its function in metabolic regulation. p53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancers. Many mutant p53 proteins display gain-of-function (GOF) activities in cancer cells, including driving metabolic reprogramming, to promote cancer progression. Further understanding of p53 and its GOF mutants in metabolism will provide new opportunities for cancer therapy. I will summarize our recent studies on p53 and its GOF mutants in metabolic regulation.
