Abstract excerpt
In human ovarian carcinomas, the p53 tumor-suppressor gene is frequently mutated. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in these tumors is known to stimulate tumor-cell proliferation. In order to evaluate the effect of several p53 phenotypes on the IL-6 promoter activity, the human ovarian wild-type (wt)-p53 cell line A2780 was stably transfected with an empty plasmid (CMV) or (m)-175-, m-248- or m-273-p53. Electrophoretic...
