Abstract

Cells respond to the shift of intracellular environment toward pro-oxidant conditions by activating the transcription of numerous "antioxidant" genes. This response is based on the activation of the Nrf2 transcription factor, which transactivates the genes containing in their promoters the antioxidant response cis-elements (AREs). If the oxidative stress provokes DNA damage, a second response of the cell takes place, based on the activation of p53, which induces cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis. Here we have explored the cross-talk between these two regulatory mechanisms. The results show that p53 counteracts the Nrf2-induced transcription of three ARE-containing promoters of the x-CT, NQO1, and GST-alpha1 genes. Endogenous transcripts of these antioxidant genes accumulate as a consequence of Nrf2 overexpression or exposure to electrophile diethylmaleate, but these effects are again blocked by p53 overexpression or endogenous p53 activation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments support the hypothesis that this p53-dependent trans-repression is due to the direct interaction of p53 with the ARE-containing promoters. Considering that p53-induced apoptosis requires an accumulation of reactive oxygen species, this negative control on the Nrf2 transactivation appears to be aimed to prevent the generation of a strong anti-oxidant intracellular environment that could hinder the induction of apoptosis.

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.
