WAF1/Cip1/Sdi1 (p21) is the prototype of a family of proteins that inhibit cyclin-dependent kinases and regulate cell cycle progression in eukaryotic cells. In addition to normal cell cycle progression, p21 is involved in growth suppression mediated by p53 and transforming growth factor beta (TGFbet

The expression and prognostic role of cyclin D1, cyclin E, and p21 (WAF1/CIP1) were immunohistochemically investivated in 413 curatively resected gastric carcinomas. p21 was expressed in 65β’4 per cent (n=270), cyclin D1 in 23β’7 per cent (n=98), and cyclin E in 13β’6 per cent (n=56) of the tumours.

BACKGROUND. Barrett esophagus predisposes individuals to esophageal carcinoma, which develops from intermediate stages of tissue dysplasia primarily in the vicinity of the gastroesophageal junction. Understanding the cellular and molecular events in the progression of Barrett esophagus to adenocarci
in signaling cellular growth arrest. In response to DNA damage, p21 is induced by the p53 gene, thereby playing a direct role in mediating p53-induced G 1 arrest.
