Abstract excerpt
We investigated apoptosis induction by sulforaphane on three cell lines characterized by a different p53 status. In particular, we used p53-knock-out fibroblasts from newborn mice transfected with the p53-Ser220 mutation, observed in Li-Fraumeni Syndrome patients, as a model of mutated p53 status. Moreover, immortalized fibroblasts from newborn mice expressing or lacking p53 (p53 +/+ and p53-/-, respectively)...
