Abstract excerpt
In previous studies using human breast carcinoma cells (MCF-7) and human colon carcinoma cells (RKO) we have shown that, in response to treatment with hydrocarbon carcinogens, these cell lines failed to undergo a p53-mediated cell cycle arrest in G1 phase; rather, the cells were accumulated in the S phase with damaged DNA, a situation that may lead to replication of DNA on a damaged template, resulting in the...
