The activation of p53 has been proposed as a novel anti-cancer treatment in two distinct contexts. In the first activation of p53 in tumor cells can promote apoptosis and senescence and enhance the anti-tumor activity of cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs. In the second application activation of p53 in normal tissues can cause a reversible cell cycle arrest that can be used to protect normal cells from the action of anti-mitotics. In this cyclotherapy role p53 mutant tumor cells are not arrested a ...[more]
