Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Wip1 over-expression inhibits p53 function and reduces selection for TP53 mutations during cancer progression. To clarify the correlation of Wip1 with TP53/p14(ARF) pathway disruption in astyrocytomas, the expression of Wip1 and TP53/p14(ARF) pathway alterations have been investigated. METHODS: Tumor samples of 52 patients of astrocytomas were examined for TP53 mutations, p14(ARF) expression, and Wip1...
