Abstract excerpt
The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21cip1/waf1 negatively regulates the progression of cell cycle and the potential usefulness of p21cip1/waf1 gene is proposed in gene therapy. However, studies have demonstrated a protective role of p21cip1/waf1 against apoptosis and little is known about effects of ectopic expression of p21cip1/waf1 on differentiation of colon cancer cells. In the present study, we found...
