From Significance of the study to Public health relevance:
Given that: (1) cancer suppressor p53 is mutated in more than 50% of human cancers of different tissue origin; (2) p53 pathway is altered in about 80% of tumors.; (3) our understanding is incomplete in terms of molecular targets and the oncogenic/malignant pathways involved in mutant p53-overexpressing tumors; (4) cancer causes the highest economic loss compared to all the known causes of death worldwide; and (5) cancer causes the considerable economic loss worldwide, there is an urgent need to find: (i) a cheaper alternative to the existing expensive drugs; (ii) a side-effect-free natural product-based drug; and (iii) a way to effectively treat and stall metastatic progression and relapse of mutant p53-overexpressing human cancers.
From therapeutic strategy to Research Findings:
(i) Therapeutic strategy:
This study suggests a therapeutic strategy for stalling the progression of p53-deficient/deleted or mutant-p53 expressing metastatic cancers. By activating tumor suppressor p53’s unmutated “homologous protein such as TAp73/p63” in p53-deficient or mutant-p53 expressing metastatic cancer cells, one can stall their progression.
(ii) Research findings:
This study suggests, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, that hydrogen-rich saline may function as an anti-cancer/metastasis agent. Hydrogen-rich saline, by increasing the expression of its target gene, it may increase the expression of tumor/metastasis suppressors genes, such as p53, TA-p73 and TA-p63, BTG2 and INK4a and others. Thereby, it may inhibit the migration and invasion of metastatic cancer cells expressing mutant-p53 (figure1).

Figure 1. Mechanistic insight into how hydrogen-rich saline functions as an anticancer/antimetastatic agent in mutant p53-expressing tumors. Hydrogen-rich saline, by activating tumor/metastasis suppressor genes, such as p53, TA-p73 and TA-p63, BTG2 and INK4a, and others, in metastatic tumors, it may inhibit the progression of mutant-p53 expressing human cancers.
Therapeutic opportunity:
Given the ability of hydrogen-rich saline to induce the expression of a number of tumor/metastasis suppressor genes, it may be used, either alone or in combination with other anticancer drugs, to inhibit the progression of p53-mutated invasive metastatic tumors. Taken together, this study suggests, for the first time, that oncologists may consider treating terminally ill metastatic cancer patients with hydrogen-rich saline, as it may stall the progression of advanced metastatic cancers.
