Abstract excerpt
Mdm2 overexpression confers a growth promoting activity upon cells primarily by downregulating the p53 tumor suppressor protein. Nevertheless, Mdm2 deregulation has also been implicated in inhibiting TGF-beta growth repression in a p53 independent manner. Our goal in this study was to examine whether overexpression of Mdm2 or MdmX, a Mdm2-related protein, could affect Smad-induced transactivation. As downstream...
