Abstract: p53,the widely studied tumor suppressor gene,plays a key role in regulating cell cycle,repairing DNA damages,eliminating free radicals and regulating immune responses and so on.The recent studies showed that p53 mutation was in close biological connections with the occurrence,development,infiltration and metastasis in over 50 percent digestive systemic malignant tumors.In view of the current researches,we review the biological features of p53,the relationship between p53 and digestive systemic malignant tumors,and gene therapy of p53 to provide references for the pathogenesis,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of digestive systemic malignant tumors in this paper.

Key words: p53, Mutation, Digestive systemic malignant tumors, Gene therapy
