Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor p53 eliminates cancer-prone cells via multiple mechanisms, including apoptosis. Ras elicits apoptosis in cells after protein kinase C (PKC) downregulation. However, the role of p53 in Ras-mediated apoptosis has not been fully investigated. Here, we demonstrate that mouse fibroblasts that express wild-type p53 are more susceptible to apoptosis elicited by PKC inhibition if Ras is transiently...
