5-Aza-2′-deoxycytidine Activates the p53/p21Waf1/Cip1 Pathway to Inhibit Cell Proliferation
1 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
In addition to its demethylating function, 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-CdR) also plays an important role in inducing cell cycle arrest, differentiation, and cell death. However, the mechanism by which 5-aza-CdR induces antineoplastic activity is not clear. In this study, we found that 5-aza-CdR at limited concentrations (0.01-5 microm) induces inhibition of cell proliferation as well as increased...
