Figure 7. Signaling pathways underlying the pro-oxidant function of p53 in patulin-induced oxidative stress.

Figure 7

Exposure to patulin induced ROS generation, DNA damage and p53 activation. Activation of p53 promoted patulin-induced ROS generation through a mechanism of PIG3-dependent inactivation of catalase. p53 activation contributed to patulin-induced apoptosis through mechanisms involved in its transcriptional-dependent activation of mitochondrial pathway.
