Abstract excerpt
c-jun-N-terminal kinases (JNKs) play an important role in defense against external stresses including ionizing radiation (IR). We have previously shown that sensitivity to IR is influenced by p53 status in human thyroid cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of p53 status on IR-induced JNK activation in human thyroid cells. Our results showed high basal JNK activity in the p53-null thyroid cancer cell...
