Family p53 family
Function
Acts as a tumor suppressor in many tumor types; induces growth arrest or apoptosis depending on the physiological circumstances and cell type. Involved in cell cycle regulation as a trans-activator that acts to negatively regulate cell division by controlling a set of genes required for this process. One of the activated genes is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases. Apoptosis induction seems to be mediated either by stimulation of BAX and FAS antigen expression, or by repression of Bcl-2 expression. Its pro-apoptotic activity is activated via its interaction with PPP1R13B/ASPP1 or TP53BP2/ASPP2. However, this activity is inhibited when the interaction with PPP1R13B/ASPP1 or TP53BP2/ASPP2 is displaced by PPP1R13L/iASPP. In cooperation with mitochondrial PPIF is involved in activating oxidative stress-induced necrosis; the function is largely independent of transcription. Induces the transcription of long intergenic non-coding RNA p21 (lincRNA-p21) and lincRNA-Mkln1. LincRNA-p21 participates in TP53-dependent transcriptional repression leading to apoptosis and seems to have an effect on cell-cycle regulation. Implicated in Notch signaling cross-over. Prevents CDK7 kinase activity when associated to CAK complex in response to DNA damage, thus stopping cell cycle progression.

Response regulation Apigenin can efficiently reduce the expression of intracellular MPO and increase the levels of GPX4 and SIRT1, thereby conferring neuroprotection through regulation of kainic acid (KA)-induced ferroptosis. And the level of Ac-p53 inside the brains treated with apigenin was down-regulated, suggesting that the p53-mediated ferroptosis pathway might be blocked. Overall, apigenin was screened and confirmed as an efficient lead compound for epilepsy prevention and treatment.

Response regulation Pseudolaric acid B (PAB) improved intracellular iron by upregulation of transferrin receptor. The increased iron activated Nox4, which resulted in overproduction of H2O2and lipid peroxides. Moreover, PAB depleted intracellular GSH via p53-mediated xCT (SLC7A11) pathway, which further exacerbated accumulation of H2O2and lipid peroxides. Thus, PAB triggers ferroptosis in glioma cells and is a potential medicine for glioma treatment.

All mice were housed under a setting of 12-h light/dark cycle at 22 ± 1, 55% humidity and fed with water and food provided at regular time. During the entire maintenance period, all mice were permitted free cage activity without joint immobilization. The initial body weights of the mice were between 20 and 23 grams. After subcutaneous injection of 2 x 106 BGC-823 gastric cancer cells into the back of NOD-SCID mice, the mice were treated with or without Tan IIA (50 mg/kg) or Tan IIA in combination with Fer-1 (50 mg/kg). Tan IIA was diluted in DMSO:Methanol:Hydroxypropyl-b-cydodextrin (HP-b-CD) = 1:1:1. Fer-1 was also dissolved in DMSO:Methanol:HP-b-CD. Seven days after BGC-823 gastric cancer cells injection, intraperitoneal injection with Tan IIA was carried out every other day followed by killing at day 22 of tumor cell inoculation. All mice were killed by dislocation of the cervical vertebrae. Before killing, the tumor volume was measured every 3 days. All experiments were carried out using six mice each group in three independent experiments of a time-dependent manner with three time points.

Response regulation Tanshinone IIA increased lipid peroxidation and up-regulated Ptgs2 and Chac1 expression, two markers of ferroptosis. In addition, Tan IIA also up-regulated p53 expression and down-regulated xCT (SLC7A11) expression. Therefore, Tan IIA could suppress the proliferation of gastric cancer via inducing p53 upregulation-mediated ferroptosis.

PTZ-induced seizure model was done for the subsequent 1 h after the last administration of drugs. We performed a preliminary doseresponse trial, the dose of 60 mg/kg was established as being sufficient to trigger seizures with lower mortality and chosen as the optimal dose. One mouse in PTZ group was dead due to a severe seizure. At the end of the experiment, the mice were anesthetized or euthanized. For histopathological studies, the mice were anesthetized and intracardially perfused with 0.9% saline, followed by 0.4% paraformaldehyde for fixation of the brain. For immunoblot analysis, the hippocampus was rapidly isolated.

Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (250-300 g) were purchased from the Laboratory Animal Center, Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University, China. Briefly, a left thoracotomy was carried out in the fourth intercostal space and the heart was exposed via opening the pericardium. The left coronary artery was around via a 4-0 silk suture and a snare was formed by passing both ends of the suture via a short polyethylene tubing. Blockage of the coronary artery was conducted via clamping the snare against the heart surface. Reperfusion was performed by release of the snare. The sham group conducted the same procedure but without ischemia (the snare was not tightened). To establish the I/R injury model, the rat hearts were subjected to 1 h-ischemia plus 3 h-reperfusion.

Response regulation Pseudolaric acid B (PAB) improved intracellular iron by upregulation of transferrin receptor. The increased iron activated Nox4, which resulted in overproduction of H2O2and lipid peroxides. Moreover, PAB depleted intracellular GSH via p53-mediated xCT (SLC7A11) pathway, which further exacerbated accumulation of H2O2and lipid peroxides. Thus, PAB triggers ferroptosis in glioma cells and is a potential medicine for glioma treatment.

The expression of circKDM4C and hsa-let-7b-5p are negatively correlated, while circKDM4C and p53 are positively correlated to AML patients. Moreover, circKDM4C induces ferroptosis by sponging hsa-let-7b-5p which upregulates the expression of P53.

Response regulation Pseudolaric acid B (PAB) improved intracellular iron by upregulation of transferrin receptor. The increased iron activated Nox4, which resulted in overproduction of H2O2and lipid peroxides. Moreover, PAB depleted intracellular GSH via p53-mediated xCT (SLC7A11) pathway, which further exacerbated accumulation of H2O2and lipid peroxides. Thus, PAB triggers ferroptosis in glioma cells and is a potential medicine for glioma treatment.
