5‐Aza‐2′‐deoxycytidine induces p21<sup>WAF</sup> expression by demethylation of p73 leading to p53‐independent apoptosis in myeloid leukemia
17 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
The DNA methylation inhibitor 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) has significant therapeutic value for the treatment of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The demethylating effect of 5-Aza-CdR has been well characterized. In contrast, less is known about the molecular events downstream of the methylation inhibition. Here, 5-Aza-CdR...
