Induction of tumor suppressor proteins by tannic acid (TA). TA enhances the phosphorylation of p53, thereby increasing the expression of its target genes such as p21 and BAX. Moreover, on another level, TA could stimulate both p21 and BAX gene expression directly. TA also stimulates the gene expression of p27 and p18.
