Abstract excerpt
The signal transduction pathway regulated by the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein, pRB, is abrogated in the majority of human cancers. Using a series of cell lines derived from oral squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) that were not subjected to radiation or chemotherapy treatment, we detected specific hyperactivity of cyclin dependent kinase (cdk) 6 but not cdk4. Subcellular localization studies showed a...
