The p53-Mdm2 feedback loop is perceived to be critical for regulating stress-induced p53 activity and levels. However, this has never been tested in vivo. Using a genetically engineered mouse with mutated p53 response elements in the Mdm2 P2 promoter, we show that feedback loop-deficient Mdm2(P2/P2) mice are viable and aphenotypic and age normally. p53 degradation kinetics after DNA damage in radiosensitive tissues remains similar to wild-type controls. Nonetheless, DNA damage response is elevated in Mdm2(P2/P2) mice. Enhanced p53-dependent apoptosis sensitizes hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), causing drastic myeloablation and lethality. These results suggest that while basal Mdm2 levels are sufficient to regulate p53 in most tissues under homeostatic conditions, the p53-Mdm2 feedback loop is critical for regulating p53 activity and sustaining HSC function after DNA damage. Therefore, transient disruption of p53-Mdm2 interaction could be explored as a potential adjuvant/therapeutic strategy for targeting stem cells in hematological malignancies.
