Abstract excerpt
Although it is well established that the cell cycle inhibitor p21 protects against genotoxic stress by preventing the replication of damaged DNA, recent studies have shown that the cytoplasmic form can also protect. It protects by delaying the loss of the antiapoptotic proteins Mcl-1 and Bcl-X(L); however, the mechanism of regulation is unknown. Utilizing hyperoxia as a model of chronic oxidative stress and DNA...
