摘要

Our genetic material is constantly damaged by internal sources such as reactive oxygen species and externalsources such as ionizing radiation and sunlight. However, we seldom notice these injuries because our cells possesselegant DNA surveillance networks that serve to maintain cellular homeostasis. These networks are complex signaltransduction pathways that coordinate cell cycle checkpoints and DNA repair processes to eliminate DNA damage, aswell as invoking pathways such as sustained growth arrest (i.e., accelerated senescence) and apoptotic cell death toeliminate injured cells from the proliferating population. The p53 tumor suppressor protein and its downstream effectorp21 are key regulators of these various responses. Failure of cells to properly activate p53/p21-mediated events followinggenotoxic stress may lead to the development of genomic instability and the emergence of malignant cells which exhibitstem cell-like properties. It is therefore not surprising that defects in major players of the DNA surveillance networks arethe underlying cause for numerous debilitating human genetic disorders that are characterized by genomic instability,premature aging, and cancer proneness. In this article, we first provide an update on the role of the p53 signaling pathwayin determining the fate of human cells following exposure to DNA-damaging agents. We next review the clinical andlaboratory features of the most extensively studied human genome instability disorders including xerodermapigmentosum, Cockayne syndrome, ataxia telangiectasia, and Li-Fraumeni syndrome, and discuss the current knowledgeon the biological consequences of deregulated p53 signaling in cells derived from patients with such disorders.
