Description

TP53 is a tumour suppressor involved in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and DNA repair [88]. Several lines of evidence from model organisms link TP53 to ageing, in agreement with its DNA damage protection role.

In flies, expression of a dominant-negative version of TP53 extends lifespan [1567]. Mice with a permanently activated form of TP53 display signs of premature ageing starting at about 18 months of age [11], as do mice heterozygous for TP53 that lack BRCA1 [37]. Overexpression of p44 (one of the short isoforms of p53) also causes a progeroid phenotype [1146], including phosphorylation of tau, synaptic deficits, and cognitive decline [3587]. Additionally, levels of p44 increase with age in the mouse brain [3587]. However, increased but regulated TP53 and CDKN2A activity has been found to ameliorate age-associated central nervous system functional decline in mice, acting to maintain the stem cell pool. This regulated TP53 activity provides a mechanism for extended lifespan and also health span in mice [4333].

Human mutations in TP53 have been associated with cancer [92]. People with a polymorphism that decreases the apoptotic potential of TP53 have increased survival despite a higher proportional mortality from cancer [1290]. The myriad of functions and interactions of TP53, as well as the findings from model organisms, make it a possible player in human ageing.
