Abstract excerpt
p53 protein regulates cell cycle progression and its absence will result in unlimited cell divisions required for immortalization of cells. Immortalized osteoblastic cell lines were established from p53 null mouse calvariae of normal phenotype. The clonal murine cell lines demonstrated osteoblastic phenotype as exemplified by alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity. They also express bone morphogenetic protein 2...
