Enhanced P53 signaling may lead to hematopoietic disorders, yet an effective therapeutic strategy is still lacking. Our study, along with previous research, suggests that P53 overactivation and hematopoietic defects are major consequences of zinc deficiency. However, the relationship between these two pathological processes remains unclear. In this study, we observed a severe reduction in the number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and multi-lineage progenitor cells in zebrafish treated with the zinc chelator ,,','-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine and showed the indispensable role of P53 signaling in the process. Next, we took advantage of HSCs-labeled transgenic zebrafish and conducted a highly efficient phenotypic screening for small molecules against P53-dependent hematopoietic disorders. Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA), a natural chalcone glycoside, exhibited potent protection against hematopoietic failure in zinc-deficient zebrafish and strongly inhibited the P53 pathway. We confirmed the protective effect of HSYA in zinc-deficient mice bone marrow nucleated cells, which showed a significant suppression of P53 signaling and oxidative stress. Furthermore, the hematopoietic-protective activity of HSYA was validated using a mice model of myelotoxicity induced by 5-FU. In summary, our work provides an effective phenotypic screening strategy for identifying hematopoietic-protective agents and reveals the novel role of HSYA as a promising lead compound in rescuing hematopoietic disorders associated with P53 overactivation.

Arginine methylation is a common post-translational modification that plays critical roles in many biological processes. However, the existence of arginine demethylases that remove the modification has not been fully established. Here, we report that Myc-induced nuclear antigen 53 (Mina53), a member of the jumonji C (JmjC) protein family, is an arginine demethylase.

An ideal chemotherapeutic agent damages DNA, specifically in cancer cells, without harming normal cells. Recently, we used Box A of HMGB1 plasmid as molecular scissors to produce DNA gaps in normal cells. The DNA gap relieves DNA tension and increases DNA strength, preventing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).

Mutation or deletion of the deubiquitinase USP7 causes Hao-Fountain syndrome (HAFOUS), which is characterized by speech delay, intellectual disability, and aggressive behavior and highlights important unknown roles of USP7 in the nervous system. Here, we conditionally delete USP7 in glutamatergic neurons in the mouse forebrain, triggering disease-relevant phenotypes, including sensorimotor deficits, impaired cognition, and aggressive behavior. Although USP7 deletion induces p53-dependent neuronal apoptosis, most behavioral abnormalities in USP7 conditional knockout mice persist following p53 loss.

This study explores the effects of plant compounds on human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced W12 cervical precancer cells and bioelectric signaling. The aim is to identify effective phytochemicals, both individually and in combination, that can prevent and treat HPV infection and HPV associated cervical cancer. Phytochemicals were tested using growth inhibition, combination, gene expression, RT PCR, and molecular docking assays.
