Transcriptomic analyses have revealed hundreds of p53-regulated genes; however, these studies used a limited number of cell lines and p53-activating agents. Therefore, we searched for candidate p53-target genes by employing stress factors and cell lines never before used in a high-throughput search for p53-regulated genes. We performed RNA-Seq on A549 cells exposed to camptothecin, actinomycin D, nutlin-3a, as well as a combination of actinomycin D and nutlin-3a (A + N). The latter two substances synergise upon the activation of selected p53-target genes. A similar analysis was performed on other cell lines (U-2 OS, NCI-H460, A375) exposed to A + N. To identify proteins in cell lysates or those secreted into a medium of A549 cells in control conditions or treated with A + N, we employed mass spectrometry. The expression of selected genes strongly upregulated by A + N or camptothecin was examined by RT-PCR in p53-deficient cells and their controls. We found that p53 participates in the upregulation of: ACP5, APOL3, CDH3, CIBAR2, CRABP2, CTHRC1, CTSH, FAM13C, FBXO2, FRMD8, FRZB, GAST, ICOSLG, KANK3, KCNK6, KLRG2, MAFB, MR1, NDRG4, PTAFR, RETSAT, TMEM52, TNFRSF14, TRANK1, TYSND1, WFDC2, WFDC5, WNT4 genes. Twelve of these proteins were detected in the secretome and/or proteome of treated cells. Our data generated new hypotheses concerning the functioning of p53. Many genes activated by A + N or camptothecin are also activated by interferons, indicating a noticeable overlap between transcriptional programs of p53 and these antiviral cytokines. Moreover, several identified genes code for antagonists of WNT/β-catenin signalling pathways, which suggests new connections between these two cancer-related signalling systems. One of these antagonists is DRAXIN. Previously, we found that its gene is activated by p53. In this study, using mass spectrometry and Western blotting, we detected expression of DRAXIN in a medium of A549 cells exposed to A + N. Thus, this protein functions not only in the development of the nervous system, but it may also have a new cancer-related function.
