A peptide fragment of azurin induces a p53-mediated cell cycle arrest in human breast cancer cells
1 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
We report that amino acids 50 to 77 of azurin (p28) preferentially enter the human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, ZR-75-1, and T47D through a caveolin-mediated pathway. Although p28 enters p53 wild-type MCF-7 and the isogenic p53 dominant-negative MDD2 breast cancer cell lines, p28 only induces a G(2)-M-phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. p28 exerts its antiproliferative activity by reducing...
