How does p53 induce apoptosis and how does this relate to p53-mediated tumour suppression
Open accessAbstract
The tumour suppressor gene TP53 is mutated in ~50% of human cancers. In addition to its function in tumour suppression, p53 also plays a major role in the response of malignant as well as nontransformed cells to many anticancer therapeutics, particularly those that cause DNA damage. P53 forms a homotetrameric transcription factor that is reported to directly regulate ~500 target genes, thereby controlling a broad range of cellular processes, including cell cycle arrest, cell senescence, DNA repair, metabolic adaptation and cell death. For a long time, induction of apoptotic death in nascent neoplastic cells was regarded as the principal mechanism by which p53 prevents tumour development. This concept has, however, recently been challenged by the findings that in striking contrast to Trp53-deficient mice, gene-targeted mice that lack the critical effectors of p53-induced apoptosis do not develop tumours spontaneously. Remarkably, even mice lacking all mediators critical for p53-induced apoptosis, G1/S boundary cell cycle arrest and cell senescence do not develop any tumours spontaneously. In this review we discuss current understanding of the mechanisms by which p53 induces cell death and how this affects p53-mediated tumour suppression and the response of malignant cells to anticancer therapy.

DDR involves activation of cell cycle checkpoints, DNA repair mechanisms and apoptosis, especially if DNA damage is severe or persistent.
“DDR involves the activation of cell cycle checkpoints, DNA repair mechanisms and apoptosis, especially if the DNA damage is severe or persistent (45).”
From Intravitreal AAV vector delivery induces integrin-dependent ocular inflammation, complement activation, and antiviral and DNA damage responses (2026) · cites this paper as [45]
The “Gene in Human Cancer” section (page unavailable) says that p53 activation can lead to cell-cycle arrest, coordination of DNA-repair pathways, and apoptosis in response to stresses including DNA damage. It does not establish that apoptosis occurs especially when damage is severe or persistent, and its discussion is specifically about p53 rather than the entire DNA damage response. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
