Partial depletion of RLIP76 in p53 deficient living subject has shown many health benefits. In one embodiment, partical Rlip depletion is used to prevent or treat cancer in p53 deficient living subjects. In another embodiment, partial Rlip depletion is used for reversion of DNA-methylation abnormalities caused by the lack of p53 to normal in p53 deficient living subjects. In yet another embodiment, partial Rlip depletion is used in reduction of blood glucose, insulin-resistance, hyperlipidemina, or any combination thereof in p53 deficient living subjects. Methods of using liposome containing anti-sense nucleic acid or double stranded siRNA to partially deplete RLIP76 and thus treat p53 deficient subject are disclosed. The approaches described herein can be especially helpful in preventing cancer in Li-Fraumeni patients.
A method of treating a p53-null tumor in a subject, the method comprising administering an effective amount of a composition comprising a liposome inhibitory RNA molecule that inhibits RLIP76 into the subject, and inhibiting at least 25% of the total RLIP76 in the p53-null tumor.
