p53-Independent Induction of G1 Arrest and p21WAF1/CIP1 Expression by Ascofuranone, an Isoprenoid Antibiotic, through Downregulation of c-Myc
30 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
Ascofuranone has been shown to have antitumor activity, but the precise molecular mechanism by which it inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells remains unclear. Here, we study the effects of ascofuranone on cell cycle progression in human cancer cells and find that ascofuranone induces G(1) arrest without cytoxicity with upregulation of p53 and p21(WAF1/CIP1) while downregulating c-Myc and G(1) cyclins....
