Objective: To study the growth inhibitory effects of p21WAF1 and p53 overexpression in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line.
Methods: The p21WAF1 and p53 gene were transfected respectively into a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line, GLC-82. Flow cytometry (FLC), transmission electron microscopy (EM) and TUNEL technique were used to evaluate cell growth and identify apoptosis.
Results: The GLC-82 transfected by p21 plasmid showed increased cell number in G1 phase of cell cycle, decreased proliferation potential and decreased cloning efficiency. Apoptosis have not been detected neither on EM nor by TUNEL technique, whereas the GLC-82 infected by Ad-p53 showed significantly decreased proliferation potential and some of them even died, in addition apoptosis was confirmed by TUNEL technique.
Conclusion: The results indicate that p21WAF1 and p53 can inhibit proliferation; p53 also can induce apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma cell. Therefore, these two genes should have a wide application in gene therapy of tumors in future.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how Astragaloside IV affects astrocyte senescence caused by amyloid-beta, a key factor in aging and neurodegenerative diseases.
- It finds that Astragaloside IV reduces senescence markers and increases neurotrophic growth factors, which may help in protecting brain cells from degeneration.
- The research highlights hsp90aa1 as a potential target for Astragaloside IV, suggesting that manipulating this protein could lead to new treatment strategies for age-related neurological conditions.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and COVID-19 infection has led to worsened outcomes for patients with cancer. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein mediates host cell infection and cell-cell fusion that causes stabilization of tumor suppressor p53 protein. In-silico analysis previously suggested that SARS-CoV-2 spike interacts with p53 directly but this putative interaction has not been demonstrated in cells.

Background: Thapsigargin (Tg) is a compound that inhibits the SERCA calcium transporter leading to decreased endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ levels. Many ER chaperones are required for proper folding of membrane-associated and secreted proteins, and they are Ca2+ dependent. Therefore, Tg leads to the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER, activating the unfolded protein response (UPR) to help restore homeostasis.

Introduction: Gastric and colorectal adenocarcinomas are prevalent malignancies characterized by mutations in genes such as p53, RAS, and MDM2, which play crucial roles in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Understanding the specific mutational patterns and their implications in these cancers was essential for identifying potential therapeutic targets.
Aim: To identify the nature of mutational disorders in the p53, p21Waf1, RAS and MDM2 genes, depending on the degree of cell differentiation by adenocarcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract.
