Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that RB plays an important role in the maintenance of the epithelial phenotype. p21 is also involved in several terminal differentiation systems including keratinocytes. We report here that p21 is an RB target gene in epithelial cells, but not in fibroblasts where RB is unable to transactivate p21 transcriptional expression. In epithelial cells, when RB family factors were inactivated by...
