Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The growth suppressive genes p16INK4a and p14ARF located on the 9p21 gene cluster have active roles in the Rb and p53 growth control pathways, respectively. p16INK4a is a cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor functioning upstream of Rb. p14ARF restrains cell growth by abrogating Mdm2 inhibition of p53 activity, thereby, facilitating p53 mediated cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. To elucidate specific targets...
