What this study shows

LncRNA LINP1 binds the FAT domain of mTOR, reduces mTOR-p53 interaction and p53 Ser15 phosphorylation, thereby suppressing radiation-induced cellular senescence in keratinocytes and human skin.

Abstract

ShowHide

LINP1 is a markedly upregulated lncRNA following ionizing radiation (IR). LINP1 promotes cell survival and limits radiation-induced DNA damage accumulation. Mechanistically, LINP1 attenuates radiation-induced cellular senescence through modulation of the mTOR-p53 signaling axis: LINP1 associates with the FAT domain of mTOR, attenuates the interaction between mTOR and p53, thereby reducing p53 Ser15 phosphorylation and downstream senescence-associated signaling.

At a glance

Evidence type	M Molecular — cells, biochemistry, structure Marked M because it is molecular or in-vitro work (model: Human keratinocytes; ex vivo human skin explants) rather than a whole-organism health-outcome study. That is often exactly where causal biology gets established -- the code says which system the finding was shown in, and nothing about how good the work is.

Extracted findings

These fields were extracted from the paper with AI assistance and have not been checked against the source. Read them as a pointer into the paper, not as curated claims; where they disagree with the curated summary above, the curated summary stands.

Intervention	LINP1 overexpression/knockdown; ionizing radiation
Target	mTOR FAT domain; mTOR-p53 interaction; p53 Ser15 phosphorylation; cellular senescence
Model	Human
Effect	LINP1 directly binds mTOR FAT domain to reduce mTOR-p53 interaction, decrease p53 activation, and suppress radiation-induced senescence
