Anti-Tumor Efficacy of a Novel Antisense Anti-MDM2 Mixed-Backbone Oligonucleotide in Human Colon Cancer Models: p53-Dependent and p53-Independent Mechanisms
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The MDM2 oncogene is amplified or overexpressed in many human cancers and MDM2 levels are associated with poor prognosis. MDM2 not only serves as a negative regulator of p53 but also has p53-independent activities. This study investigates the functions of the MDM2 oncogene in colon cancer growth and the potential value of MDM2 as a drug target for cancer therapy, by inhibiting MDM2 expression with an...
