Imiquimod activates p53-dependent apoptosis in a human basal cell carcinoma cell line
Highlights • IMQ induces p53 expression and activation in skin cancer cells in a TLR7/8-independent manner. • The IMQ-induced p53 expression and activation are achieved through increased ROS production to stimulate the ATM/ATR-Chk1/Chk2 axis. • Genetic silencing of p53 significantly decreases the IM...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • IMQ induces p53 expression and activation in skin cancer cells in a TLR7/8-independent manner. • The IMQ-induced p53 expression and activation are achieved through increased ROS production to stimulate the ATM/ATR-Chk1/Chk2 axis. • Genetic silencing of p53 significantly decreases the IMQ-induced caspase cascade activation and apoptosis but enhances autophagy. • p53 mutant cell lines are more resistant to IMQ-induced apoptosis than p53 wildtype cell lines. |
