• Cancer: Cancer is defined like abnormal
cells divide in an uncontrolled way.
It starts when a gen changes,
make one cell or a few cells begin to grow and divide too much. This may cause a growth called a tumor.
Cancer may be associated with
deficit of p53
• p53: It’s a protein that generates an
answer when the cell suffers an injury.
p53 regulates the interphase through a checkpoint between G1/S phases.
This protein can cause:
oDNA reparation.
o Apoptosis.
o Cell cycle arrest.
• Parkinson disease: It´s a motor disease associated with the
degeneration of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta.
With less dopamine, a person has less and less
ability to regulate their movements, body and emotions.
In which several causative genes have been
identified. Amongst α-synuclein, DJ-1 and parkin.
In most cases PD is associated with Lewy bodies that is an accumulation of α-Synuclein.
• α -Synuclein: Presinpatic neuronal protein involved
both genetically and neuropathologically with Parkinson’s disease.
It’s abundantly expressed in the nervous system.
Levels of α-Synuclein are modulated when there are conditions that alter plasticity or confer injury.
It has the ability to down-regulate p53.

• To show that p53 could also control α-syn levels as part of a feedback process driving their cellular homeostasis in neurons.
• To show that the disruption of cellular dialogue between p53 and α-syn linked to the dysfunction of any of these two partners may contribute to PD pathology.

Vousden KH. p53 is a trascriptional factor , which main physiological function is to regulated genes involved in the
control of cell cycle, DNA repair and apoptosis.
Checler F. p53 is a proapoptotic protein strongly linked to several neurodegenerative
disorders, amongst which Parkinson’s disease.
Checler F. PD-causative gene products including DJ-1 and parkin, have been shown to control and to be controlled by p53
ex-vivo and in vivo.

In normal conditions, α-syn represses p53.
• The identification of α –Synuclein as a main target protein regulated by p53 may offer a new perspective about new treatments for PD that leads to delay the progress of this disease.
• Knowledge about the interaction between α –Synuclein and p53 allows to further new studies in order to identify eficient ways to generate either up or down regulation of those proteins.
• Knowing the behavior of a-syn and p53 on feedback allows us focusing the treatment scheme of Parkinson disease to be more effective and with less contraindications.
• The development of Parkinson's disease, its given be multiple causes, for example the use of certain drugs, exposure to external agents. You might even be associated with other diseases such as cancer. So it is only the first step to diagnose new causes.
