โœฆ Synopsis

The p16 INK4A gene, which encodes the cell-cycle regulatory protein cyclin-dependent kinase 4 inhibitor, is a putative tumor-suppressor gene. We examined p16 gene alterations in 30 primary ovarian cancers and 11 ovarian cancer cell lines. Five of the primary cancers (16.7%) had lost both p16 INK4A genes. In addition, four cancers (13.3%) contained five kinds of missense mutations and a one-base deletion. Three cell lines had homozygous deletions of p16 genes, and one cell line had multiple intragenic mutations. There was also suppressed transcription of the p16 gene in one cell line. Some point mutations occurred in the conserved ankylin consensus region. These observations suggest that p16 is a functional target for ovarian carcinogenesis and that p16 alterations occurred in the primary cancers.

## Background: It has been suggested that cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (cdkis), including p16 and p15, are tumor suppressor genes. alterations of cdkis have been found in most types of cancer. however, little is known about the status of p16 and p15 genes, including methylation of the promote

Cell-cycle regulation depends on a fine balance between cyclin-cyclin-dependent kinase complexes and a family of kinase inhibitors that bind cyclin-cdk complexes and block their activity. To investigate the role of mechanisms regulating cell-cycle progression in human osteosarcomas (OS), pRb/p16/cdk

In primary breast cancer, mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene lead to loss of growth-suppressive properties and poor outcome. Recently, a p53-related gene, termed p73, has been cloned and its gene product possesses a function similar to p53. p73 has been mapped at chromosome 1p36.3, a region
