Abstract excerpt
Expression of exogenous wild-type (wt) p53 protein can suppress the growth and/or induce apoptosis in different tumor cells. The effect of exogenous p21(WAF1/CIP1) expression is more controversial: while it can induce apoptosis in some cells, it can protect against p53-mediated apoptosis in others. We used adenoviral vectors to introduce p53 and p21(WAF1/CIP1) genes into human tumor cell lines with different p53...
