RB Loss Promotes Aberrant Ploidy by Deregulating Levels and Activity of DNA Replication Factors
8 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor (RB) is functionally inactivated in many human cancers. Classically, RB functions to repress E2F-mediated transcription and inhibit cell cycle progression. Consequently, RB ablation leads to loss of cell cycle control and aberrant expression of E2F target genes. Emerging evidence indicates a role for RB in maintenance of genomic stability. Here, mouse adult fibroblasts were...
