The p21 protein is a universal inhibitor of cyclindependent kinases and of cell-cycle progression and is involved in numerous growth-inhibitory pathways in cell culture systems. Recent studies suggest that p21 regulates hepatocyte cell cycle progression in models of liver regeneration. The present s

## Abstract Our previous work has shown that a number of sphingolipid metabolites including sphingosine, sphinganine, and other longβchain bases potently induced apoptosis in human hepatoma cells. In this study, we examined the possibility that sphingosine may trigger apoptosis in human hepatoma ce
## Abstract ## Background The caspaseβ3 gene is expressed at significantly lower levels in human hepatocellular carcinomas than in normal hepatocytes. Gene transfer technologies offer the possibility to restore caspaseβ3 gene expression. We explored the interest for cancer gene therapy of a consti
## Background: Downregulation of genes which negatively control cell cycle progression represents a possible mechanism for prostate tumorigenesis. we examined the expression levels of the p16, p15, p14, and retinoblastoma-susceptibility (rb) genes in primary prostate cancers and human prostate canc
