Enforcing a well-differentiated state on cells requires tumor suppressor p53 activation as a key player in apoptosis induction and well differentiation. In addition, recent investigations showed a significant correlation between poorly differentiated status and higher expression of NANOG. Inducing the expression of NANOG and decreasing p53 level switch the status of liver cancer cells from well differentiated to poorly status. In this review, we highlighted p53 and NANOG cross-talk in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) which is regulated through mitophagy and makes it a novel molecular target to attenuate cancerous phenotype in the management of this tumor.
在细胞中强制使其处于高度分化状态需要肿瘤抑制因子p53激活,这是诱导细胞凋亡和实现良好分化的关键因素。此外,最近的研究表明,低分化状态与NANOG的高表达之间存在显著相关性。诱导NANOG的表达并降低p53水平可使肝癌细胞的状态从高分化转变为低分化状态。在本综述中,我们重点介绍了肝细胞癌(HCC)中p53和NANOG的相互作用,这种相互作用通过线粒体自噬进行调节,并使其成为在该肿瘤治疗中减弱癌表型的新型分子靶点。
