Targeting MDM2-p53 Interaction for Cancer Therapy: Are We There Yet?
14 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of the tumor suppressor p53 and/or overexpression of the oncogene MDM2 frequently occur in human cancers, and are associated with poor prognosis, advanced forms of the disease, and chemoresistance. MDM2, the major negative regulator of p53, induces p53 degradation and inactivates its tumor suppressing activity. In turn, p53 regulates MDM2 expression. This MDM2-p53 negative feedback loop has been...
