The invention discloses a p53
protein liquid-
liquid phase separation enhanced improved p53, namely an application of LLPSEp53 in inhibition of tumor
cell proliferation. The invention firstly discloses a mechanism for enhancing the function of a
wild type p53
tumor inhibition factor through p53 liquid-
liquid phase separation, and finds that LLPSEp53 can obviously improve the transcriptional level of downstream target genes (such as CDKN1A, MDM2, PUMA, NOXA, BAF, DDB2 and RRM2B) in cells; the recombinant
protein has a remarkable killing effect on various
human tumor cell lines; in addition, knock-down of the DEF6
gene can further promote the anti-
cancer activity of the LLPSEp53, which indicates that the LLPSEp53 can be used in combination with a DEF6 inhibitor to enhance the anti-
cancer effect. Meanwhile, the LLPSEp53
protein is respectively combined with the FGFR inhibitor TAS-120 and the Wnt
signal channel inhibitor IWR-1 for use, so that the tumor killing effect is obviously improved. The invention proves that liquid-
liquid phase separation can enhance the
transcriptional activity of p53 and inhibit the proliferation of
tumor cells, and the
tumor inhibition effect can be improved when the liquid-liquid phase separation is combined with drugs. The discovery shows that the LLPSEp53 has high clinical transformation potential, and meanwhile, a new thought is provided for application of the LLPSEp53 to clinical tumor treatment when the LLPSEp53 is used in cooperation with drugs.
