Identification of a p53 Response Element in the Promoter Region of the hMSH2 Gene Required for Expression in A2780 Ovarian Cancer Cells
1 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
Defects in the human MSH2 mismatch repair system have been implicated in cellular mutagenesis, tumorigenesis, and chemotherapeutic resistance. The current studies characterized the 5' upstream proximal promoter region of the hMSH2 gene using transient transfection of A2780 ovarian cancer cells. Serial deletions of a 1.88-kb fragment of the proximal promoter region of the hMSH2 gene revealed that promoter activity...
