Expression of p27 is associated with Bax expression and spontaneous apoptosis in oral and oropharyngeal carcinoma
21 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
p27Kip1, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, is a negative regulator of the cell cycle, and apoptosis is a genetically encoded program of cell death. To clarify the relationship between the cell cycle and apoptosis, we investigated expression of p27, cyclin D1 and apoptosis-related proteins (p53, Bax, Bcl-2 and c-Myc) in 60 cases of oral and oropharyngeal squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) using an...
