Abstract excerpt
DNA-damaging agents such as ionizing radiation (IR) activate the tumor suppressor p53, and, in turn, p53 transactivates a number of downstream effector genes such as GADD45, CIP1/WAF1, and MDM2. The induction of these downstream genes following IR appears to be strictly dependent upon the presence of wild-type functional p53 known to evoke G1 arrest. In this study, we characterized 56 cell lines from 9 different...
