Activation of oncoproteins and inactivation of tumor suppressors induces tumorigenesis. When these events happen upstream of pRb and p53, cancer therapies may initially succeed and then fail when pRb and p53 are activated and then re-inactivated. Therapies might succeed if they remain effective when pRb and p53 are genetically inactivated.

Synephrine Inhibits Oxidative Stress and HO-Induced Premature Senescence.
Cell Biochem Biophys
January 2025

Synephrine, a protoalkaloid found in Citrus aurantium (CA) peels, exerts lipolytic, anti-inflammatory, and vasoconstrictive effects; however, its antioxidant activity remains unclear. In this study, electron spin resonance spectroscopy revealed that synephrine scavenged both hydroxyl and superoxide anion radicals. Several external stimuli, such as HO, X-rays, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, cause stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS).

In almost all cancers, the p53 pathway is disabled and cancer cells survive. Hence, it is crucially important to induce cell death independent of p53 in the treatment of cancers. The transcription factor E2F1 is controlled by binding of the tumor suppressor pRB, and induces apoptosis by activating the gene, an upstream activator of p53, when deregulated from pRB by loss of pRB function.

Article Synopsis
- Human Papillomaviruses (HPV) have co-evolved with humans, being the main cause of cervical cancer, particularly HPV16, which is the most oncogenic high-risk type.
- The E6/E7 proteins of high-risk HPVs, especially HPV16, are critical for cervical cancer development as they interact with important cellular proteins like p53 and pRb, influencing viral persistence and oncogenesis.
- New methods for analyzing HPV mutations and alterations in the viral genome could enhance cervical cancer screening processes in France.

Article Synopsis
- * MA promotes autophagy in prostate cancer cells by increasing specific protein expressions and decreasing others, which helps with cell degradation and recycling.
- * The study showed that MA also induces ferroptosis (a form of cell death) by manipulating certain metabolic pathways, and in vivo tests demonstrated that it significantly reduced tumor growth in mice.
The N-Terminal Region of the Transcription Factor E2F1 Contains a Novel Transactivation Domain and Recruits General Transcription Factor GTF2H2.

Article Synopsis
- - E2F1 is a transcription factor that plays a dual role in cell growth, promoting both cell proliferation and tumor suppression, particularly when the tumor suppressor pRB is not functioning.
- - The N-terminal region of E2F1 is crucial for activating tumor suppressor genes, as removing this region significantly reduces its ability to do so.
- - GTF2H2, a general transcription factor, interacts with the N-terminal region of E2F1 and enhances its tumor suppressor gene activity, while its knockdown negatively impacts this function.
