Elevated and biallelic expression of p73 is associated withprogression of human bladder cancer.

Abstract excerpt

p73, a member of the p53 family at 1p36.3, has been demonstrated to be expressed monoallelically and induce apoptosis or G1 arrest of the cell cycle. To explore the candidacy of p73 as a suppressor in bladder tumorigenesis, we examined expression level, allelic origin, and mutation of p73 mRNA in 45 primary bladder carcinomas. Quantitative PCR analysis showed no allelic loss of the gene but showed various levels...
