Small-molecule MDM2 antagonists reveal aberrant p53 signaling in cancer: Implications for therapy
27 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
The p53 tumor suppressor retains its wild-type conformation and transcriptional activity in half of all human tumors, and its activation may offer a therapeutic benefit. However, p53 function could be compromised by defective signaling in the p53 pathway. Using a small-molecule MDM2 antagonist, nutlin-3, to probe downstream p53 signaling we find that the cell-cycle arrest function of the p53 pathway is preserved...
