p53-independent apoptosis induced by muscle differentiation stimuli in polyomavirus large T-expressing myoblasts.

Abstract excerpt

Abnormal proliferation signals, driven by cellular or viral oncogenes, can result in the induction of apoptosis under sub-optimal cell growth conditions. The tumor suppressor p53 plays a central role in mediating oncogene-induced apoptosis, therefore transformed cells lacking p53 are generally resistant to apoptosis-promoting treatments. In a previous work we have reported that the expression of polyomavirus...
