TP53 can also be linked to the pathogenesis of DBA and MDS via ferroptosis, a form of iron-mediated cell death propagated by excess polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing oxidizable phospholipids and loss of lipid peroxide repair capacity. The primary objective of this work was to establish how overexpression and mutation of the TP53 gene influences lipid composition, erythroid differentiation, and ferroptosis sensitivity in K-562 cells, an in vitro model for studying erythropoiesis. Employing a reverse genetics approach, we generated four isogenic cell lines that either lacked functional TP53 expression, expressed wild-type (WT) TP53, or expressed one of the two most common TP53 mutation types, R175H or R282W. We then utilized non-targeted lipidomics to quantify and identify changes in specific lipid species that occur with induction of WT and mutant TP53 expression. We also analyzed differences in gene expression, ferroptosis sensitivity, and hemoglobinization by qPCR, CCK-8 cytotoxicity assay, and o-dianisidine staining, respectively. The abundance of 337 distinct lipid species was impacted by induction of WT TP53 expression compared to K-562 cells expressing a nonfunctional P53 protein. Yet only 17 lipid compounds were differentially impacted between cells expressing WT TP53 and either of the mutant TP53 genes tested. Similarly, while the TP53 null K-562 cells displayed modest sensitivity to ferroptosis, cells expressing both WT and mutant TP53 genes were remarkably resistant to ferroptosis. However, terminal differentiation and hemoglobinization were significantly impacted in R175H mutant TP53-expressing K-562 cells. Findings from this work provide novel insights into the role of TP53 in lipid metabolism and terminal erythropoiesis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26178359","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,29]],"date-time":"2025-08-29T08:01:01Z","timestamp":1756454461000},"page":"8359","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["TP53 Expression Status Alters Hemoglobinization and Ferroptosis Sensitivity in K-562 Cells"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6633-2022","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cameron","family":"Cardona","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutritional Sciences, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Madelyne","family":"Young","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutritional Sciences, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5318-6687","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"McKale","family":"Montgomery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutritional Sciences, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, TX 76109, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"89","DOI":"10.1182\/blood.2019003439","article-title":"P53 Activation during Ribosome Biogenesis Regulates Normal Erythroid Differentiation","volume":"137","author":"Boussaid","year":"2021","journal-title":"Blood"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5118","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2012-05-356014","article-title":"The P53 Pathway in Hematopoiesis: Lessons from Mouse Models, Implications for Humans","volume":"120","author":"Pant","year":"2012","journal-title":"Blood"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"367","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2141.2008.07091.x","article-title":"Disorders of Red Cell Membrane","volume":"141","author":"An","year":"2008","journal-title":"Br.
