## Abstract A cyclinβdependent kinase inhibitor CDKN2A (p16/Ink4a) is a tumor suppressor and upregulated in cellular senescence. CDKN2A promoter methylation and gene silencing are associated with the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) in colon cancer. However, prognostic significance of CDKN2A
The tumor suppressor gene CDKN2 (p16/MTS1) resides on chromosome 9p21 and encodes a 16 kDa inhibitor of the cyclin-dependent kinases. Inactivation of CDKN2 by homozygous deletion, point mutation, and recently described aberrant methylation in the 5' promoter region may increase progression through t
In order to clarify the frequency of p16 gene inactivation and its relationship with Rb expression, immunohistochemical analysis of p16 and Rb proteins was carried out on 82 paraffin-embedded sections of primary non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). From immunohistochemical results, abnormal p16 exp
