Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of the P16 (INK4A)/retinoblastoma (RB) or TP53 biochemical pathway is frequent event in most human cancers. Recent evidence has shown that P14ARF binds to MDM2 leading to an increased availability of wild type TP53 protein. Functional studies also support a putative tumor suppressor gene function for p14ARF suggesting that p14ARF or p53 inactivation may be functionally equivalent in tumorigenesis. To...
