The purpose of our study was to determine the expression of the pro-apoptotic BAX protein in relation to the mutational status of BAX and p53 (as transcriptional activator of the BAX gene) in benign and malignant thyroid tissue. In 47 patients with thyroid tumours (14 follicular and 3 papillary carc

A number of transgenic animal model systems have addressed the mechanistic role of p53 loss in tumor progression. However, many of these tumor models have analyzed p53 function in the context of other transgenes expressing activated oncogenes or defective tumor suppressor genes generated by gene tar
We have demonstrated over-expression of the cyclindependent kinase inhibitor p21 in various ovarian-cancer cell lines as well as in ovarian-tumor biopsies. This increase in p21 expression relative to that observed in normal ovarian epithelial cells is unrelated to proliferation index. In the present
p21 WAF1/Cip1 is a recently identified gene involved in cell cycle regulation through cyclin-CDK-complex inhibition. The expression of this gene in several cell lines seems to be induced by wild-type, but not mutant, p53. p21 WAF1/Cip1 expression has been studied at both mRNA and protein levels in a
