... With the improvement of modern whole genome sequencing, the gut microbiome in the body can be efficiently detected [15]. There also has research shown that the occurrence of tumors is directly related to the change in the intestinal microbiome, which causes the metabolites disordered in the body, and even stimulates tumor-related signaling pathways, directly inducing the formation of tumor cells [16,17]. So, biomarkers that alter gut microbiomes can be used as a standard to predict tumorigenesis or as an auxiliary means to diagnose tumorigenesis. ...

... After DNA damage, DNA repair requires p53 to activate p21, which blocks the G2/M phase (21). However, if the DNA damage is too severe to repair, the upregulation of Bax by p53 promotes the apoptotic process via the mitochondrial pathway (22,23). Therefore, when p53 is involved in the treatment of NSCLC with DDP, it is necessary to pay attention to the downstream targets of p53 to find suitable therapeutic targets. ...
