The p53 tumor suppressor gene contributes to a series of life processes of cells. Previously, we have shown that T-17, a spirostanol saponin extracted from Tupistra chinensis induces cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and autophagy in gastric cancer cells. The p53 is essential in the cell cycle arrest induced by T-17, however, the effect of p53 on T-17-induced apoptosis and autophagy is still unclear. Here, our study shows that T-17 has no difference in the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells with different p53 status. By transfecting p53 siRNA into AGS cells (p5
