Abstract excerpt
p53 protein induces cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, or apoptosis of damaged cells. Loss of wild-type p53 (wt-p53) function was shown to be associated with upregulation of survivin and resistance to therapy. Here we investigated the effects of DNA-damage agents in inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, and modulation of survivin levels in two Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) cell lines with different p53 mutations. Our...
