PRIMA‐1 induces apoptosis in acute myeloid leukaemia cells with <i>p53</i> gene deletion
15 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
The p53 tumour suppressor gene located on chromosome 17p13 is the most frequently mutated gene in human tumours. About 5-8% of cases with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) carry the p53 mutation. Recently, the compound p53-dependent reactivation and induction of massive apoptosis (PRIMA-1) has been shown to induce cytotoxic effects and apoptosis in human tumour cells by restoration of the transcriptional activity of...
