Transcriptional Activation of the MUC2 Gene by p53
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
MUC2 is one of the major components of mucins that provide a protective barrier between epithelial surfaces and the gut lumen. We investigated possible alterations of MUC2 gene expression by p53 and p21(Sdi1/Waf1/Cip1) in a human colon cancer cell line, DLD-1, establishing subclones in which a tetracycline-regulatable promoter controls exogenous p53 and p21 expression. MUC2 mRNA more significantly increased in...
