Abstract excerpt
We have previously described a methotrexate-resistant cell line (MTX M) characterized by amplified dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) genes, cytoplasmic p53 localization, and p53 stable tetramers. To investigate the p53 functionality in MTX M, the effect of chemical/physical agents was studied. In MTX M cells, DNA damage did not induce p53 or mdm-2 protein, while in the parental V79 cells, a residual p53 activity was...
