Adenovirus-Mediated p14ARF Gene Transfer in Human Mesothelioma Cells
19 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The p14(ARF) protein encoded by the INK4a/ARF locus promotes degradation of the MDM2 protein and thus prevents the MDM2-mediated inhibition of p53. Homozygous deletion of the INK4a/ARF locus is common in human mesothelioma and may result in the loss of p14(ARF) and the inactivation of p53. We designed this study to evaluate the biologic and potential therapeutic roles of p14(ARF) expression in...
