Mutant p53 inhibits tumorigenesis by avoiding the initiation of oncogenic WNT signaling pathway. However, when mutant p53 is exposed to gallic acid, which is a polyphenol metabolite produced by gut commensal microbes, it loses its tumor-suppressive property and switches to perform oncogenic functions by over-activating WNT signaling pathway to enhance proliferation and invasion of tumor cells
