Abstract
P53 protein is the product of P53 gene, which is a well acknowledged tumor suppressor gene. The function of P53 and the relevant mechanisms of anti-neoplasm have raised the interest of researchers since many years ago. It is demonstrated that P53 is a basic cell cycle regulator and a strong inhibitor for versatile cancers in humans. However, most research focuses on other organs and systems instead of the central nervous system (CNS). In fact, in recent years, more and more studies have been suggesting that P53 plays a significant role in multiple CNS tumors and other diseases and disorders such as cerebral stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. In this work, we mainly reviewed the P53's relationship with CNS tumors, cerebral stroke and neurodegenerative diseases, together with the relevant mechanisms, aiming to summarize the research achievements and providing new insight to the future study on diseases in CNS.

Abstract
TP53 is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer with over 100,000 literature citations in PubMed. This is a heavily studied pathway in cancer biology and oncology with a history that dates back to 1979 when p53 was discovered. The p53 pathway is a complex cellular stress response network with multiple diverse inputs and downstream outputs relevant to its role as a tumor suppressor pathway. While inroads have been made in understanding the biology and signaling in the p53 pathway, the p53 family, transcriptional readouts, and effects of an array of mutants, the pathway remains challenging in the realm of clinical translation. While the role of mutant p53 as a prognostic factor is recognized, the therapeutic modulation of its wild-type or mutant activities remain a work-in-progress. This review covers current knowledge about the biology, signaling mechanisms in the p53 pathway and summarizes advances in therapeutic development.

Abstract
Background Biochemical networks are often described through static or time-averaged measurements of the component macromolecules. Temporal variation in these components plays an important role in both describing the dynamical nature of the network as well as providing insights into causal mechanisms. Few methods exist, specifically for systems with many variables, for analyzing time series data to identify distinct temporal regimes and the corresponding time-varying causal networks and mechanisms. Results In this study, we use well-constructed temporal transcriptional measurements in a mammalian cell during a cell cycle, to identify dynamical networks and mechanisms describing the cell cycle. The methods we have used and developed in part deal with Granger causality, Vector Autoregression, Estimation Stability with Cross Validation and a nonparametric change point detection algorithm that enable estimating temporally evolving directed networks that provide a comprehensive picture of the crosstalk among different molecular components. We applied our approach to RNA-seq time-course data spanning nearly two cell cycles from Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast (MEF) primary cells. The change-point detection algorithm is able to extract precise information on the duration and timing of cell cycle phases. Using Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) and Estimation Stability with Cross Validation (ES-CV), we were able to, without any prior biological knowledge, extract information on the phase-specific causal interaction of cell cycle genes, as well as temporal interdependencies of biological mechanisms through a complete cell cycle. Conclusions The temporal dependence of cellular components we provide in our model goes beyond what is known in the literature. Furthermore, our inference of dynamic interplay of multiple intracellular mechanisms and their temporal dependence on one another can be used to predict time-varying cellular responses, and provide insight on the design of precise experiments for modulating the regulation of the cell cycle.

Abstract
The oncolytic adenovirus dl922-947 replicates selectively within and lyses cells with a dysregulated Rb pathway, a finding seen in > 90% human cancers. dl922-947 is more potent than wild type adenovirus and the E1B-deletion mutant dl1520 (Onyx-015). We wished to determine which host cell factors influence cytotoxicity. SV40 large T-transformed MRC5-VA cells are 3-logs more sensitive to dl922-947 than isogenic parental MRC5 cells, confirming that an abnormal G1/S checkpoint increases viral efficacy. The sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to dl922-947 varied widely: IC50 values ranged from 51 (SKOV3ip1) to 0.03 pfu/cell (TOV21G). Cells sensitive to dl922-947 had higher S phase populations and supported earlier E1A expression. Cytotoxicity correlated poorly with both infectivity and replication, but well with expression of p21 by microarray and western blot analyses. Matched p21+/+ and -/- Hct116 cells confirmed that p21 influences dl922-947 activity in vitro and in vivo. siRNA-mediated p21 knockdown in sensitive TOV21G cells decreases E1A expression and viral cytotoxicity, whilst expression of p21 in resistant A2780CP cells increases virus activity in vitro and in intraperitoneal xenografts. These results highlight that host cell factors beyond simple infectivity can influence the efficacy of oncolytic adenoviruses. p21 expression may be an important biomarker of response in clinical trials.

Abstract
Although p27 and p57 are structurally related cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs), and are thought to perform similar functions, p27 knockout (p27(KO)) and p57(KO) mice show distinct phenotypes. To elucidate the in vivo functions of these CKIs, we have now generated a knock-in mouse model (p57(p27KI)), in which the p57 gene has been replaced with the p27 gene. The p57(p27KI) mice are viable and appear healthy, with most of the developmental defects characteristic of p57(KO) mice having been corrected by p27 knock-in. Such developmental defects of p57(KO) mice were also ameliorated in mice deficient in both p57 and the transcription factor E2F1, suggesting that loss of p57 promotes E2F1-dependent apoptosis. The developmental defects apparent in a few tissues of p57(KO) mice were unaffected or only partially corrected by knock-in expression of p27. Thus, these observations indicate that p57 and p27 share many characteristics in vivo, but that p57 also performs specific functions not amenable to substitution with p27.

Abstract
It is well recognized that oxidized LDL (OxLDL) plays a crucial role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Many biological effects of OxLDL are mediated through signaling pathways, especially via the activation of transcription factors, which in turn stimulate the expression of genes involved in the inflammatory and oxidative stress response or in cell cycle regulation. In this review, we will discuss the various transcription factors activated by OxLDL, the studied cell types, the active compounds of the OxLDL particle, and the downstream genes when identified. Identification of the transcription factors and some of the downstream genes regulated by OxLDL has helped us understand the molecular mechanism involved in generation of the atherosclerotic plaque.

Abstract
The tumor-suppressor gene p53 and its downstream genes consist of a complicated gene network. p53 is a key molecular node in the network, which is activated in response to several cellular signals resulting in the maintenance of genetic stability. Several cellular signals may activate the p53 network. When the expression of P53 is elevated, P53-MDM2 module and the ubiquitin system can accurately regulate the expression level of P53. P53 can bind to specific DNA sequence, activate its downstream genes expression, and control cell-cycle arrest, DNA repair, and apoptosis. Elucidating the function of p53 gene network will help understand the interaction mechanisms of p53 and its downstream genes.

Abstract
p53 has been called the "cellular gatekeeper" and the "genome guard," because in response to exposure to DNA-damaging agents, it induces cell-cycle arrest in G1 or apoptosis and also directly affects DNA replication. Multiple mechanisms regulate p53 activity and posttranslational modification, including multisite phosphorylation of wild-type p53, in particular. Normal functions of wild-type p53 are abrogated by mutation of this gene, and oncogenic studies have revealed that p53 mutation is among the most common genetic alteration in human cancers. It is generally accepted that mutant p53 protein may not only lose the tumor suppressor functions of wild-type p53 but also acquire additional tumorigenetic roles, including dominant-negative effects and gain of function. Although many studies have revealed such aberrant functions of mutant p53, less is known about the posttranslational phosphorylation status of mutant p53 and novel biological functions of phosphorylation in carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Background Deregulated cell cycle progression and loss of proliferation control are key properties of malignant cells. In previous studies, an interactive transcript abundance index (ITAI) comprising three cell cycle control genes, [MYC × E2F1]/p21 accurately distinguished normal from malignant bronchial epithelial cells (BEC), using a cut-off threshold of 7,000. This cut-off is represented by a line with a slope of 7,000 on a bivariate plot of p21 versus [MYC × E2F1], with malignant BEC above the line and normal BEC below the line. This study was an effort to better quantify, at the transcript abundance level, the difference between normal and malignant BEC. The hypothesis was tested that experimental elevation of p21 in a malignant BEC line would decrease the value of the [MYC × E2F1]/p21 ITAI to a level below this line, resulting in loss of immortality and limited cell population doubling capacity. In order to test the hypothesis, a p21 expression vector was transfected into the A549 human bronchogenic carcinoma cell line, which has low constitutive p21 TA expression relative to normal BEC. Results Following transfection of p21, four A549/p21 clones with stable two-fold up-regulated p21 expression were isolated and expanded. For each clone, the increase in p21 transcript abundance (TA) was associated with increased total p21 protein level, more than 5-fold reduction in E2F1 TA, and 10-fold reduction in the [MYC × E2F1]/p21 ITAI to a value below the cut-off threshold. These changes in regulation of cell cycle control genes were associated with restoration of cell proliferation control. Specifically, each transfectant was capable of only 15 population doublings compared with unlimited population doublings for parental A549. This change was associated with an approximate 2-fold increase in population doubling time to 38.4 hours (from 22.3 hrs), resumption of contact-inhibition, and reduced dividing cell fraction as measured by flow cytometric DNA analysis. Conclusion These results, likely due to increased p21-mediated down-regulation of E2F1 TA at the G1/S phase transition, are consistent with our hypothesis. Specifically, they provide experimental confirmation that a line with slope of 7,000 on the p21 versus [MYC × E2F1] bivariate plot quantifies the difference between normal and malignant BEC at the level of transcript abundance.

Abstract
Oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) is known to be cytotoxic towards different cell types of the arterial wall, leading to progression of an atherosclerotic plaque. We previously reported that OxLDL activates the tumor suppressor p53 in human fibroblasts [Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 276 (2000) 718]. In the present work, we demonstrate that OxLDL increased intracellular levels of the kinase inhibitor p21(waf1) (p21) and of the tumor suppressor Rb. Concomitantly, level of the hypophosphorylated active form of Rb (HypoP-Rb) was also enhanced. Cycloheximide prevented the OxLDL-induced increase in p21, Rb, and HypoP-Rb, whereas okadaic acid had no effect. This increase was also prevented by the antioxidant vitamin E. In addition, the lipid extract of OxLDL, which includes the lipid peroxidation products, reproduced the action of the OxLDL particle itself. OxLDL and its lipid extract induced an oxidative stress, as assessed by the intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation products. Finally, OxLDL induced a dose-dependent inhibition of DNA synthesis as assessed by thymidine incorporation. These results demonstrate that OxLDL or its lipid peroxidation products, by generation of an oxidative stress, enhances the expression of p21 and Rb genes, leading to an accumulation of the Hypo-P active form of the tumor suppressor Rb. This phenomenon is in accordance with the fact that p21 is a mediator of p53-dependent cell-cycle arrest in G1 and is most probably involved in the cytotoxicity of OxLDL.

Abstract
To investigate the functions of the different Raf genes in hematopoietic cell proliferation, the capacities of beta-estradiol-regulated Delta Raf:ER genes to induce cell cycle regulatory gene expression and cell cycle progression in FDC-P1 cells were examined. Raf activation increased the expression of Cdk2, Cdk4, cyclin A, cyclin D, cyclin E, p21(Cip1) and c-Myc and decreased the expression of p27(Kip1) which are associated with G(1) progression. However only the cell clones with moderate Raf activation, i.e. FD/Delta Raf-1:ER and FD/Delta A-Raf:ER, successfully underwent cell proliferation. The cell clones with the highest Delta Raf activity, FD/Delta B-Raf:ER, underwent apoptosis before cell proliferation. p21(Cip1) induced by Raf activation specifically bound with Cdk4/cyclin D complexes but not Cdk2/cyclin E complexes and this binding was associated with the increased Cdk4 activity. However, no binding of p27(Kip1) with either Cdk2/cyclin E or Cdk4/cyclin D was observed. Thus Raf mediated growth was associated with elevated p21(Cip1) expression, which may specifically bind with and activate Cdk4/cyclin D complexes and with decreased p27(Kip1) expression.

Abstract
Quinidine inhibits proliferation and promotes cellular differentiation in human breast tumor epithelial cells. Previously we showed quinidine arrested MCF-7 cells in G(1) phase of the cell cycle and led to a G(1) to G(0) transition followed by apoptotic cell death. The present experiments demonstrated that MCF-7, MCF-7ras, T47D, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-435 cells transiently differentiate before undergoing apoptosis in response to quinidine. The cells accumulated lipid droplets, and the cytokeratin 18 cytoskeleton was reorganized. Hyperacetylated histone H4 appeared within 2 h of the addition of quinidine to the medium, and levels were maximal by 24 h. Quinidine-treated MCF-7 cells showed elevated p21(WAF1), hypophosphorylation and suppression of retinoblastoma protein, and down-regulation of cyclin D1, similar to the cell cycle response observed with cells induced to differentiate by histone deacetylase inhibitors, trichostatin A, and trapoxin. Quinidine did not show evidence for direct inhibition of histone deacetylase enzymatic activity in vitro. HDAC1 was undetectable in MCF-7 cells 30 min after addition of quinidine to the growth medium. The proteasome inhibitors MG-132 and lactacystin completely protected HDAC1 from the action of quinidine. We conclude that quinidine is a breast tumor cell differentiating agent that causes the loss of HDAC1 via a proteasomal sensitive mechanism.
