Abstract excerpt
The p21 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor blocks cell cycle transition and replication in response to DNA damage. Although required for p53-mediated cell cycle arrest, p21 expression can also be initiated via p53-independent pathways. This study examines the postirradiation expression of p21 in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the esophagus to determine whether this p21 production is p53-dependent or independent....
