<p>The tumor suppressor gene p53 is mutated in approximately more than 50% of human cancers. p53 is also referred to as the “cellular gatekeeper” or “guardian of the genome” because it protects the body from spreading mutated genome induced by various stress. When the cells receives stimuli such as DNA damage, oncogene activation, oxidative stress or undernutrition, p53 gives rise to a number of cellular responses, including cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, cellular senescence and metabolic adaptation. Related to energy metabolisms, it has been reported that p53 reduces glycolysis and enhances mitochondrial respiration. p53 is also involved in the regulation of other cellular metabolism and energy production systems: amino acid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, nucleic acid metabolism, anti-oxidation, mitochondrial quality control, and autophagy. Moreover, recent studies have shown that p53 gene polymorphisms affect life expectancy and lifestyle-related disease such as type 2 diabetes, suggesting that there is a certain relationship between p53 function and metabolic disorders. In addition, mutant p53 protein does not only lose the tumor suppressor function, but it also gains novel oncogenic function and contributes to tumor development, involving cellular metabolism modification. Therefore, the importance of multifunctionality of p53, particularly with regard to intracellular metabolisms, arouses therapeutic interest and calls attention as the key molecule among cancer, lifestyle-related diseases and life expectancy.</p>
