Abstract
The tumor suppressor p53 plays a central role in the DNA damage response. After exposure to genotoxic stress, p53 can both positively and negatively regulate cell fate. Initially, p53 promotes cell survival by inducing cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, and other pro‐survival pathways. However, when cells accumulate DNA damage or demonstrate aberrant growth, p53 can direct the elimination of damaged cells. In this review, we will discuss the transcriptional‐dependent and ‐independent roles of p53 in regulating the DNA damage response. J. Cell. Biochem. 100: 883–896, 2007. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Exposure of mammalian cells to genotoxic agents evokes a complex cellular response. An ordered series of molecular events is necessary to sense DNA damage, transduce the signal, and ultimately delay the cell cycle or trigger apoptosis. Recently, we have shown that BTG2/TIS21 gene expression was indu
## Abstract It is generally accepted that exposure of cells to a variety of DNA‐damaging agents leads to up‐regulation and activation of wild‐type (wt) p53 protein. We investigated the (re)‐activation of p53 protein in two human cancer cell lines in which the gene for this tumor suppressor is not m
## Abstract The p53 tumor suppressor protein is a critical mediator of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in response to genotoxic stress. Abrogation of p53 function is a major feature of tumor development and may result in a compromised DNA‐damage response. In our study, we examined the effect of exp
