Emerging evidence suggests that the ability of p53 to regulate metabolism is important for its tumor suppressor activity. A recent study published in Nature reveals a novel connection between p53 and metabolism: p53 transcriptionally represses the expression of malic enzymes and associated NADPH production, which in turn triggers a positive feedback loop resulting in sustained p53 activation, cellular senescence, and tumor suppression.
新出现的证据表明,p53 调节代谢的能力对其肿瘤抑制活性很重要。最近发表在《自然》杂志上的一项研究揭示了 p53 与代谢之间的一种新的联系:p53 转录抑制苹果酸酶的表达和相关的 NADPH 产生,这反过来又触发了一个正反馈回路,导致持续的 p53 激活、细胞衰老和肿瘤抑制。
