Several neurodegenerative diseases are influenced by the innate immune response in the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia have proinflammatory and subsequently neurotoxic actions as well as anti-inflammatory functions that promote recovery and repair. Very little is known about the transcriptio

Abstract
In response to various stresses, p53 is rapidly activated and transcriptionally regulates a number of target genes by which p53 modulates a variety of cellular activities. The transcriptional activity of p53 is delicately regulated by a plethora of cellular factors, independently or synergistically, in multiple ways in order to achieve a specific response. This article reviewed the role of the basal transcriptional machinery, coβactivators, and coβrepressors involved in p53βdependent transcription, and the underlying mechanism by which the p53 transcriptional activity is regulated. We also discussed some potentially interesting questions and future directions in the field. J. Cell. Biochem. Β© 2005 WileyβLiss, Inc.

## Abstract Recent studies have shown that only breast cancer epithelial cells with intact p53 can induce metallothionein (MT) synthesis after exposure to metals. In this study, the potential role of p53 on regulation of MT was investigated. Results demonstrate that zinc and copper increased metal
The conserved region 1 and the extreme N-terminus of adenoviral oncoprotein E1A are essential for transforming activity. They also play roles in the interaction of E1A with p300/CBP and pRb and are involved in both transactivation and repression of host gene expression. It was reported recently that
## Abstract The dominant oncogenic properties of mutant p53 have been recognized as a phenomenon associated with tumor progression a long time ago, even before it was realized that the major function of wild type p53 is that of a tumor suppressor. Recent advances in this fascinating area in tumor c
