"Furthermore, high levels of phosphorylation of p53 at Serine 15 (Ser15), modulate cell cycle checkpoint kinase Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) and Ataxia-Telangiectasia and Rad3 related (ATR) that impede MDM2 binding to p53 and subsequently promote p53 accumulation and activation in response to DNA damage [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."

"Next we used a dual luciferase reporter assay to measure theactivation of the TP53 pathway in response to treatment with three DNA damage inducing agents (mitomycin C, doxorubicin, or UV-C) or nutlin-3a, which inhibits the interaction between MDM2 and TP53 and thus promotes TP53 signaling."

"However, in stressed cells, such as those experiencing DNA damage or oncogenic stress responses, the interaction between p53 and MDM2 is interrupted, leading to the stabilization and activation of p53 to carry out its functions.17 Mutations in the p53 gene, often missense mutations, result in the loss of its tumor-suppressing function and promote the development and progression of various tumors, including those in the digestive system."

"This inspires the idea of developing small molecules reactivating p53 to fight cancer.We have identified a small-molecule RITA (reactivation of p53 and induction of tumor cell apoptosis), which prevents p53/MDM2 interaction, induces p53 accumulation and transcriptional activity, and triggers p53-dependent apoptosis in tumor cells of a different origin in vitro and in mice (11–13)."
