Abstract excerpt
Cell cycle regulators such as cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks) and their inhibitors control the growth of cells. SDI1/CIP1/WAF1/p21 is a potent inhibitor of G1 cdks, whose expression is induced by wild-type p53. To elucidate the mechanism of growth inhibition by transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFbeta 1), we examined the effect of TGFbeta 1 on the expression of p21, G1 cyclins and cdks by human gastric...
