Abstract excerpt
Human insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-II mRNA has been shown to be expressed at high levels in a variety of tumors, including rhabdomyosarcomas. In addition, many tumors have alterations in p53 expression. To investigate whether p53 regulates IGF-II gene expression, we transfected wild-type p53 expression vectors and luciferase constructs driven by IGF-II P3 promotors into multiple cell lines. We found that p53...
