p53

[Molecular Cancer Research] Vpr binding protein (VPRBP) knockdown in prostate cancer cells led to a significant decrease in cell proliferation, p53 stabilization, nucleolar fragmentation and increased p53 recruitment to the chromatin.

[Molecular Cancer] The authors investigated the expression profile of circular RNAs in breast cancer MCF-7 cells under hypoxia and normoxia using microarray.

[Thoracic Cancer] Inhibition of progression of lung cancer cells induced by heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K-knockdown was dependent on activation of p53 by the p53/p21/cyclin D1 pathway.

[Oncogene] Researchers identified and isolated chemoradiotherapy-resistant cancer stem cells in quiescent state with high capacity of tumor-initiation and tumorsphere formation from three types of breast tumors in mice.

[NPJ Regenerative Medicine] The authors showed that in response to extensive hepatocyte damages, expression of dnmt1 was upregulated in biliary epithelial cells (BECs) to methylate DNA at the p53 locus, which repressed p53 transcription, and in turn, derepressed mTORC1 signaling to activate BEC dedifferentiation.

[Anti-Cancer Drugs] Scientists investigated whether the novel factor 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl alcohol, suppressed the activity of metastatic human prostate cancer PC-3 or DU-145 cells.
