BACKGROUND. p21(waf1/cip1) protein is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor able to arrest the cell cycle at the G1 phase by inhibiting DNA replication. The expression of p21(waf1/cip1) and its prognostic value in prostate cancer are largely unexplored. METHODS. We used immunohistochemistry to analyze
p21 WAF1/CIP1 is a downstream mediator of p53 and mediates growth arrest by inhibiting the action of G 1 cyclin-dependent kinases. Since cellular differentiation is frequently characterized by G 1 arrest, we examined whether p21 WAF1/CIP1 overexpression would induce growth suppression and differenti
