Metabolic changes in cancer have been observed for almost a century. The mechanisms underlying these changes have begun to emerge from the recent studies implicating the tumor suppressor p53 in multiple metabolic pathways. The ability of p53 to regulate metabolism may also play important roles in the physiology of normal cells and organs. Here we demonstrate that p53 lowers bile acid (BA) levels under both normal and stressed conditions primarily through up-regulating expression of small heterod ...[more]
