Abstract excerpt
The mdm2 oncogene has transforming potential that is activated by overexpression. We previously reported the identification of human choriocarcinoma cell lines that have very high levels of mdm2 proteins as well as elevated levels of a stabilized wild-type p53 protein. Importantly, this mdm2 overexpression resulted from enhanced translation of mdm2 mRNA, a mechanism that had not previously been implicated in mdm2...
