Abstract excerpt
CDKN2/p16 inhibits the cyclin D/cyclin-dependent kinase complexes that phosphorylate pRb, thus blocking cell cycle progression. We previously reported that p16 levels are low to undetectable in normal human uroepithelial cells (HUCs) and in immortalized uroepithelial cells with functional pRb, whereas p16 levels are markedly elevated in immortal HUCs with altered pRb (T. Yeager et al., Cancer Res., 55: 493-497,...
