Abstract

In cancers with wild-type (WT) p53 status, the function of p53 is inhibited through direct interaction with Mdm2 oncoprotein, a negative feedback loop to limit the function of p53. In response to cellular stress, p53 escapes the p53:Mdm2 negative feedback to accumulate rapidly to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. We demonstrate herein that an microRNA miR-605 is a new component in the p53 gene network, being transcriptionally activated by p53 and post-transcriptionally repressing Mdm2. Activation of p53 upregulated miR-605 via interacting with the promoter region of the gene. Overexpression of miR-605 directly decreased Mdm2 expression at the post-transcriptional level but indirectly increased the transcriptional activity of p53 on miR-34a via downregulating Mdm2; knockdown of miR-605 did the opposite. Mdm2 inhibitor upregulated expression of both miR-34a and miR-605, which was mitigated by p53 inhibitor. miR-605 preferentially induced apoptosis in WT p53-expressing cells, an effect abolished by p53 inhibition. These results indicate that miR-605 acts to interrupt p53:Mdm2 interaction to create a positive feedback loop aiding rapid accumulation of p53 to facilitate its function in response to stress.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • miR-605 targets MDM2, triggering p53-mediated senescence.

    “Conversely, miR-605 targets MDM2, triggering p53-mediated senescence (Xiao et al., 2011), and multiple miRNAs downregulate p21 WAF1/Cip1 , including 28 miRNAs that block OIS (Borgdorff et al., 2010).”

    From Cellular Senescence: Defining a Path Forward (2019) · cites this paper as Xiao et al., 2011

    The Mdm2-targeting section reports that miR-605 represses Mdm2, and the ‘Implication of miR-605 participation in the p53:Mdm2 signalling pathway’ section says this enhances p53 activity. That section links miR-605 to cell-cycle arrest or apoptosis, but does not establish that miR-605 triggers senescence specifically; it describes senescence as one possible form of p53-mediated arrest.

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.
