January 2024 in “Cancer Research Communications” The study investigates the distinct roles of the p63 isoforms, TAp63 and ΔNp63, in regulating biological functions in the skin, particularly focusing on their involvement in epidermal morphogenesis and cancer. Through genome-wide analyses, including chromatin immunoprecipitation, RNA sequencing, and metabolomics on mouse epidermal cells, the research reveals that TAp63 and ΔNp63 interact with different transcription factors, leading to unique transcriptional programs. TAp63 is shown to prevent premature aging by maintaining stem cell quiescence and genomic stability, crucial for wound healing and hair regeneration, while ΔNp63 is involved in the maintenance and differentiation of epidermal basal cells. The study highlights the cooperation between TAp63 and NRF2 in oxidative stress response, providing insights into the mechanistic basis of TAp63 knockout phenotypes.
