Loss of p53 tumor suppressor function is a key event in the genesis of most human tumors. This observation has prompted efforts to restore p53 activity as an anticancer therapeutic approach. Recent developments that have extended our understanding of how p53 activity is regulated and how mutations disrupt that regulation have provided the insight needed to develop therapeutic strategies that take advantage of this knowledge. In this article, we review the strategies for restoring p53 function and some of the new compounds that show promise as antitumor agents in preclinical models.
抑癌基因 p53 的失活是大多数人类肿瘤发生的关键事件。这一观察结果促使人们努力恢复 p53 的活性,将其作为一种抗癌治疗方法。最近的研究进展加深了我们对 p53 活性如何受到调控以及突变如何破坏这种调控的理解,为开发利用这些知识的治疗策略提供了必要的依据。本文综述了恢复 p53 功能的策略,以及一些在临床前模型中显示出作为抗肿瘤药物潜力的新型化合物。
