Abstract

Defects in DNA repair pathways or exposure to high levels of DNA damaging agents limit the renewal potential of adult tissues and accelerate the development of age-related degenerative pathologies. Many studies suggest these tissue homeostatic defects can result from the accumulation of DNA damage in tissue-specific stem cells. Although maintenance of genome integrity in progenitor cells is required for the renewal of adult tissues, recent studies have highlighted the importance of additional mechanisms that facilitate and direct the process of tissue regeneration. These reports indicate that the p53 tumor suppressor gene maintains adult tissue homeostasis and promotes tissue renewal by suppressing the accumulation of DNA-damaged cells. Without p53, tissue deterioration caused by the elimination of genome maintenance regulators (ATR, Hus1 or Terc) is exacerbated and, in some cases, leads to synthetic lethality at the organismal level. Importantly, the accumulation of highly damaged cells in multiple tissues appears to severely impede regeneration from undamaged progenitors, suggesting that p53-mediated removal of damaged cells is a prerequisite for efficient progenitor driven renewal. These findings argue that tissue homeostasis is governed not only by the intrinsic repopulating potential of competent progenitors, but also by mechanisms that limit the accumulation of defective cells and, thereby, promote compensatory regeneration. As discussed in this review, these findings advance our understanding of mechanisms that counter the effects of DNA damage at the tissue level and have important implications for the development of therapeutic approaches to combating age-related pathologies and p53-deficient malignancies.

  • DNA repair is impaired in the absence of functional p53.

    “Several studies have demonstrated that DNA repair is impaired in the absence of functional p53 [31].”

    From Molecular Mechanisms of UV-Induced Apoptosis and Its Effects on Skin Residential Cells: The Implication in UV-Based Phototherapy (2013) · cites this paper as [31]

    The section “p53 is Required for Efficient Tissue Renewal Following Mosaic ATR Deletion” (page unavailable) reports more DNA-damaged cells in p53-null tissues, but attributes their accumulation to less efficient elimination of damaged cells and suggests tolerance or checkpoint defects as possible explanations. Searches for impaired DNA repair and repair capacity without p53 found no passage establishing that DNA repair itself is impaired. (LLM, conf=0.73)

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.
