The aim of this investigation was to explore the relationships between pS3 mutation, DNA aneuploidy, 17p deletions, and clinical stage in ovarian cancer. Nuclear suspensions were obtained by tissue disaggregation, stained with propidium iodide, and analysed on a Coulter EPICS Elite flow cytometer. D

BACKGROUND. Specific mutations of the p53 tumor suppressor gene in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been reported from several parts of the world, but to the authors' knowledge to date the status of this gene has not been studied in HCC patients in India, where HCC is one of the major cancers and
In this study, we analyzed 53 oral squamous-cell carcinomas among Indians for the presence of alterations in the tumorsuppressor gene p53 by PCR-SSCP and sequencing methods. Our results showed that 21% (I 1/53) of oral carcinomas analyzed carried mutations within the exons 5-8 of the p53 gene. We h
The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21/WAF1 is regulated by p53-dependent and p53-independent pathways. In addition, p21/WAF1 binds with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and inhibits the action of PCNA. To investigate the possible role of p21/WAF1 in human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs
