Pituitary Tumor Transforming Gene Causes Aneuploidy and p53-dependent and p53-independent Apoptosis
1 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
The pituitary tumor transforming gene, PTTG, is abundantly expressed in several neoplasms. We recently showed that PTTG overexpression is associated with apoptosis and therefore have now studied the role of p53 in this process. In MCF-7 breast cancer cells that express wild type p53, PTTG overexpression caused apoptosis. p53 was translocated to the nuclei in cells expressing PTTG. Overexpression of p53, along...
