<i>INK4</i> locus of the tumor-resistant rodent, the naked mole rat, expresses a functional p15/p16 hybrid isoform
30 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
The naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is a long-lived and tumor-resistant rodent. Tumor resistance in the naked mole rat is mediated by the extracellular matrix component hyaluronan of very high molecular weight (HMW-HA). HMW-HA triggers hypersensitivity of naked mole rat cells to contact inhibition, which is associated with induction of the INK4 (inhibitors of cyclin dependent kinase 4) locus leading to...
