SATB1 in cancer progression and metastasis: mechanisms and therapeutic potential.

Cancer remains a major global health challenge, with prostate cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer accounting for nearly half of all diagnoses. Despite advancements in cancer treatment, metastasis to distant organs continues to be the leading cause of cancer-related mortality. The progression of cancer involves the alteration of numerous genes, with dynamic changes in chromatin organization and histone modifications playing a critical role in regulating cancer-associated genes.

p53-dependent chromatin relaxation is required for DNA double-strand break repair.

The tumor suppressor p53, an indispensable nuclear transcription factor, plays a central role in orchestrating cellular responses when DNA damage occurs. In this study, we demonstrate that in the initial phases of DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair, p53 is rapidly recruited to sites of damage and the surrounding chromatin, where it enhances DSB repair efficiency. This enhancement occurs through the modulation of chromatin dynamics and the promotion of a more relaxed chromatin configuration, a process influenced by p53 in response to DSB-inducing factors such as etoposide, ultraviolet radiation, and nucleases.
