Introduction of a murine p53 mutation corresponding to human codon 249 into a murine hepatocyte cell line results in growth advantage, but not in transformation.

Abstract excerpt

The p53 gene is frequently mutated in human tumors; in hepatocellular carcinomas, there is a high frequency of a specific mutation at codon 249 in regions with significant aflatoxin exposure. To assess the role of this p53 mutation in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma, a mutant murine p53 gene, p53ser246, which corresponds to human codon 249, was transfected into a differentiated, nontransformed...
