Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of the tumor suppressor RB1 leads to cell proliferation, cell death and abortive differentiation in certain tissues and physiological contexts. Anti-apoptotic signals are thought to be the most important mechanism by which RB1-mutant cells escape cell death. Indeed, in the course of neoplastic transformation RB1 is often inactivated in conjunction with a mutation in the pro-apoptotic tumor suppressor...
