p53-Based cyclotherapy: exploiting the ‘guardian of the genome’ to protect normal cells from cytotoxic therapy
14 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
Side effects of chemotherapy are a major impediment in the treatment of cancer. Cyclotherapy is an emerging therapeutic strategy for protecting normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. Low, non-genotoxic doses of known p53 activators can be used to induce p53-dependent cell cycle arrest in normal cells bearing wild-type p53. This cytostatic effect of p53 can protect normal cells from the toxicity of S-...
