Abstract excerpt
Human breast cancers, especially estrogen receptor alpha (ER(alpha))-positive ones, often overexpress the oncoprotein MDM2 without mdm2 gene amplification. The mdm2 gene is transcribed into two different mRNAs, namely L-mdm2 and S-mdm2, which are generated from promoters P1 (constitutive) and P2 (regulated by tumor suppressor p53), respectively. To cast light on the mechanisms of MDM2 overexpression, we measured...
