Tumor Suppressor p53 Inhibits Systemic Autoimmune Diseases by Inducing Regulatory T Cells

Abstract excerpt

The tumor suppressor p53 plays a central role in tumor suppression by inducing apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, senescence, and DNA repair. In addition to the antitumor functions of p53, accumulating evidence using systemic p53-deficient mice suggests that p53 suppresses autoimmunity. However, it remains unknown how p53 suppresses autoimmunity. In this study, we generated T cell-specific p53-deficient mice (CD4-Cre...
