Abstract excerpt
Many tumor cells produce vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is thought to be a pivotal mediator of tumor neoangiogenesis. Expression of the VEGF gene can be induced by tumor promoting phorbol esters, such as 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), which activate protein kinase C (PKC). Here we show that in transient transfection assays a mutated form of the murine p53 tumor suppressor gene...
