摘要
The tumor suppressor, p53, is a transcription factor which can modulate the transcription of a number of target genes that are involved in cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. However, the apoptotic pathway mediated by p53 is not fully understood. Here, we showed that N-Myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) is a new target gene that is regulated by p53. NDRG2 mRNA and protein levels can be upregulated in a p53-dependent manner. The first intron of the NDRG2 gene contains a site that binds p53 directly and mediates wild-type p53-dependent transactivation. In addition, silencing of NDRG2 attenuates p53-mediated apoptosis, whereas overexpression of NDRG2 suppresses tumor cell growth, regardless of the presence or absence of p53. Our results indicate that NDRG2 is a novel p53-inducible target that is involved in the p53-mediated apoptosis pathway.
