Defects in the mechanisms controlling the cell cycle are crucial in cell transformation and/or tumour progression. p21 WAF1/CIP1 is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases, induced by p53-dependent and p53-independent pathways, which can block progression through the cell cycle. p21 WAF1/CIP1 expre

The p53 tumour suppressor gene is at the crossroads of a network of cellular pathways including cell cycle checkpoints, DNA repair, chromosomal segregation, and apoptosis. These pathways have evolved to maintain the stability of the genome during cellular stress from DNA damage, hypoxia, and activat

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
