Overexpression of transglutaminase 2 (TGase 2; TG2) has been implicated in the progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) through the inactivation of p53 by forming a protein complex. Because most p53 in RCC has no mutations, apoptosis can be increased by inhibiting the binding between TG2 and p53 to increase the stability of p53. In the present study, a novel TG2 inhibitor was discovered by investigating the structure of 1H-benzo[d]imidazole-4,7-dione as a simpler chemotype based on the amino-1,4-benzoquinone moiety of streptonigrin, a previously reported inhibitor.

p53 is involved in DNA damage response and is an exciting target for radiosensitization in cancer. Targeted radionuclide therapy against somatostatin receptors with Lu-DOTATATE is currently being explored as a treatment for neuroblastoma. The aim of this study was to investigate the novel p53-stabilizing peptide VIP116 in neuroblastoma, both as monotherapy and together with Lu-DOTATATE.

Mutation in the tumor suppressor gene p53 is the most frequent molecular defect in endometrial carcinoma (EC). Recently, CP-31398, a p53-stabilizing compound, has been indicated to possess the ability to alter the expression of non-p53 target genes in addition to p53 downstream genes in tumor cells. Herein, we explore the alternative mechanisms underlying the restoration of EC tumor suppressor function in mutant p53 by CP-31398.

The gene is a key tumor suppressor. Although the tumor suppressor p53 was one of the first to be characterized as a transcription factor, with its main function potentiated by its interaction with DNA, there are still many unresolved questions about its mechanism of action. Here, we demonstrate a novel role for p53 in the maintenance of nuclear architecture of cells.

Quinazoline derivatives constitute a large family of small-molecule inhibitors of tyrosine kinases. In the current study, the p53 protein reactivator CP-31398 was tested against a panel of kinases on the assumption that it was structurally similar to other active inhibitors. Although it was found to be active in the enzyme-based assay, this compound did not block the proliferation of cancer cells at a feasible concentration level.
