MDM2 Gene Amplification and Transcript Levels in Human Sarcomas: Relationship to TP53 Gene Status
7 Sept 1994
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alterations of the TP53 tumor suppressor gene appear to be implicated in the tumorigenesis and progression of several types of human cancer, including different histologic subtypes of sarcomas. The MDM2 (murine double minute-2) gene encodes a nuclear phosphoprotein that may interact with both mutant and wild-type p53 proteins, thereby inhibiting p53-mediated transactivation in a dose-dependent manner....
