Abstract excerpt
P21(Waf1/Cip1) is a potent cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. As a downstream mediator of p53, p21(Waf1/Cip1) involves in cell cycle arrest, differentiation and apoptosis. Previous studies in human cells provided evidence for a link between p21(Waf1/Cip1) and cellular senescence. While in murine cells, the role of p21(Waf1/Cip1) is indefinite. We explored this issue using NIH3T3 cells with inducible...
