Abstract excerpt
The pl6INK4a/MTS1 (p16) gene encodes a specific inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4 and CDK6. The p16 gene is frequently mutated or deleted in many types of cancer cell lines as well as in certain types of primary tumors. p16 knockout mice are viable but predisposed to sarcoma and B-cell lymphoma. To investigate the role of p16 in human soft-tissue sarcoma tumor progression, we examined the p16 gene by...
