Radiation damage to normal tissues is a serious concern in radiation therapy. Advances in radiotherapeutic technology have improved the dose distribution of the target volumes and risk organs, but damage to risk organs that are located within the irradiation field still limits the allowable prescription dose. To overcome this dose-limiting toxicity, and to further improve the efficacy of radiotherapy, the development of drugs that protect normal tissues but not cancer tissues from the effects of radiation are expected to be developed based on molecular target-based drugs. p53 is a well-known transcription factor that is closely associated with radiation-induced cell death. In radiation-injured tissues, p53 induces apoptosis in hematopoietic lineages, whereas it plays a radioprotective role in the gastrointestinal epithelium. These facts suggest that p53 inhibitor would be effective for radioprotection of the hematopoietic system, and that a drug that upregulates the radioprotective functions of p53 would enhance the radioresistance of gastrointestinal tissues. In this review, we summarize recent progress regarding the prevention of radiation injury by regulating p53 and provide new strategic insights into the development of radioprotectors in radiotherapy.
