p21 WAF1/Cip1 is an inhibitor of cdk/cyclin complexes, and thus regulates the cell cycle. p21 is also related to cell differentiation and is regulated by wild-type p53, although p53-independent regulatory pathways have been proposed. In order to analyse p21 expression as well as its relationship wit
Transforming growth factor-β€1 (TGF-β€1) regulates a variety of cellular functions. In several types of cells, for example, it acts as a growth inhibitor and an inducer of apoptotic cell death. Although one of the important modulators in retinal vascular development and retinal neovascularization, the
2-Acetylaminofluorene (AAF) is a potent tumor promoter in rat liver carcinogenesis models. In the resistant hepatocyte model, AAF is combined with a growth stimulus for efficient promotion of preneoplastic lesions. The promoting property of AAF in this model is closely associated with mito-inhibitio
