Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) is a negative regulator of p53. In the present study, we examined MDM2 transcriptional activity and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in lung tumors with respect to MDM2 SNP309 genotypes and p53 mutation status, and the effects of MDM2 SNP309 genotypes and p53 mutation status on lung cancer prognosis. METHODS: p53-null lung cancer cells were cotransfected with MDM2 P2...
