Wild-type p53 triggers a rapid senescence program in human tumor cells lacking functional p53.
The p53 tumor suppressor gene has been shown to play an important role in determining cell fate. Overexpression of wild-type p53 in tumor cells has been shown to lead to growth arrest or apoptosis. Previous studies in fibroblasts have provided indirect evidence for a link between p53 and senescence. Here we show, using an inducible p53 expression system, that wild-type p53 overexpression in EJ ...
متن کاملWild-type p53 reduces radiation hypermutability in p53-mutated human lymphoblast cells.
Many studies have shown that an alteration of p53 affects various cellular responses to DNA damage after treatment with ionizing radiation. The human lymphoblast cell WTK1, which contains a mutant p53 (ile237), is 10-fold hypermutable at the thymidine kinase (tk) locus compared with TK6 cells, which are from the same donor but contain wild-type p53. These results implied that the specific p53 m...
متن کاملEnzymatic activities of overexpressed herpes simplex virus DNA polymerase purified from recombinant baculovirus-infected insect cells.
Biochemical characterization of the herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA polymerase, a model DNA polymerase and an important target for antiviral drugs, has been limited by a lack of pure enzyme in sufficient quantity. To overcome this limitation, the HSV DNA polymerase gene was introduced into the baculovirus, Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus, under the control of the polyhedrin pro...
متن کاملWild-type p53 suppresses growth of human prostate cancer cells containing mutant p53 alleles.
Evidence supporting a broad role for the inactivation of the p53 gene in human tumorigenesis has been provided by studies showing that the p53 gene is mutated in many human cancers. In this study, we report on the mutational status of the p53 gene in prostate cancer cells and provide functional evidence that the wild-type p53 gene may have a role in suppressing prostatic tumorigenesis. Sequence...
متن کاملHuman Papillomavirus Type16- L1 VLP Production in Insect Cells
Objective(s): Infection by high-risk papillomavirus is regarded as the major risk factor in the development of cervical cancer. Recombinant DNA technology allows expression of the L1 major capsid protein of HPV in different expression systems, which has intrinsic capacity to self-assemble into viral-like particles (VLP). VLPS are non-infectious, highly immunogenic and can elicit neutralizing...
