چکیده

Cellular stress-induced temporal alterations-i.e., dynamics-are typically exemplified  by the dynamics of p53 that serve as a master to determine cell fate. p53 dynamics were initially  identified as the variations of p53 protein levels. However, a growing number of studies have  shown that p53 dynamics are also manifested in variations in the activity, spatial location, and  posttranslational modifications of p53 proteins, as well as the interplay among all p53 dynamical  features. These are essential in determining a specific outcome of cell fate. In this review, we  discuss the importance of the multifaceted features of p53 dynamics and their roles in the cell fate  decision process, as well as their potential applications in p53-based cancer therapy. The review  provides new insights into p53 signaling pathways and their potentials in the development of new  strategies in p53-based cancer therapy.

Secondary Malignant Transformation of Giant Cell Tumor of Bone: Is It a Fate?

The malignant transformation of conventional giant cell tumor of bone (GCTOB) is rare and usually occurs with irradiation. Here we report two neglected cases of conventional GCTOB with spontaneous malignant transformation at 11 and 16 years after initial diagnosis. In the former case, the patient refused to receive any treatment following the incisional biopsy, and in the latter, the firs...

p53 dynamics orchestrates with binding affinity to target genes for cell fate decision

Emerging evidence support that temporal dynamics is pivotal for signaling molecules in orchestrating smart responses to diverse stimuli. p53 is such a signaling molecule that employs temporal dynamics for the selective activation of downstream target genes and ultimately for cell fate decision. Yet how this fine-tuned p53 machinery is quantitatively decoded remains largely unclear. Here we repo...

PDCD5 interacts with p53 and functions as a regulator of p53 dynamics in the DNA damage response

The tumor suppressor p53 plays a central role in cell fate decisions after DNA damage. Programmed Cell Death 5 (PDCD5) is known to interact with the p53 pathway to promote cell apoptosis. Recombinant human PDCD5 can significantly sensitize different cancers to chemotherapies. In the present paper, we construct a computational model that includes PDCD5 interactions in the p53 signaling network a...

MicroRNA-16 feedback loop with p53 and Wip1 can regulate cell fate determination between apoptosis and senescence in DNA damage response

Cell fate regulation is an open problem whose comprehension impacts several areas of the biosciences. DNA damage induces cell cycle checkpoints that activate the p53 pathway to regulate cell fate mechanisms such as apoptosis or senescence. Experiments with different cell types show that the p53 pathway regulates cell fate through a switch behavior in its dynamics. For low DNA damage the pathway...

Cell fate decision mediated by p53 pulses.

The tumor suppressor p53 plays a crucial role in cellular response to various stresses. Recent experiments have shown that p53 level exhibits a series of pulses after DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation (IR). However, how the p53 pulses govern cell survival and death remains unclear. Here, we develop an integrated model with four modules for the p53 network and explore the mechanism for cel...
