Introduction of mutant p53 into a wild-type p53-expressing glioma cell line confers sensitivity to Ad-p53-induced apoptosis.

Abstract excerpt

Transient expression of the tumor suppressor gene p53 via adenoviral-mediated gene transfer induces apoptosis in glioma cells expressing mutant p53, while causing cell cycle arrest in cells with wild-type p53. To determine whether a change in p53 status of a wild-type p53-expressing cell line such as U-87 MG would alter its apoptotic resistant phenotype in response to Ad-p53 infection, we generated cell lines...
