Role of p21Cip1/Waf1 in cell-cycle exit of endomitotic megakaryocytes
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21(Waf-1/Cip-1) is expressed at high level during megakaryocyte differentiation, but its precise function remains unknown. In this study, it is confirmed that p21 was expressed at a high level in hypoploid (2N and 4N) and polyploid (at least 8N) human megakaryocytes derived from CD34(+) cells. A high expression of p27(Kip1), p16, cyclin E, and cyclin D3 was also found in...
