Abstract excerpt
The ATM-p53 pathway plays an important role in the biology of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Its functional integrity can be probed by exposing CLL cells to ionizing radiation (IR) and measuring levels of p53 protein and one of its transcriptional targets, the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21. We have previously identified two abnormal p53/p21 response patterns associated with inactivating mutations of...
