We have studied the mechanism of mutant p53-mediated oncogenesis using several tumor-derived mutants. Using a colony formation assay, we found that the majority of the mutants increased the number of… (More)
A diet lacking folic acid and choline and low in methionine (folate/methyl deficient diet, FMD diet) fed to rats is known to produce preneoplastic nodules (PNNs) after 36 weeks and hepatocellular… (More)
In this study, we investigated the functional role of early growth response-1 (Egr1 gene) in the regulation of radiation-induced clonogenic inhibition and apoptosis in p53 wild-type and mutant… (More)
In this study, we sought to investigate the mechanism of the proapoptotic function of Egr-1 in relation to p53 status in normal isogenic cell backgrounds by using primary MEF cells established from… (More)
In this study, we investigated whether lack of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) type II receptor (RII) expression and loss of TGF-beta signaling played a role in radiation resistance of… (More)
Ionizing radiation caused induction NF kappa B activity and Bcl-2 protein expression in the radioresistant p53 null human prostate cancer cell line, PC-3. Exposure of PC-3 cells to Ad5-I kappa B… (More)
BACKGROUND
Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is a transcription factor involved in a number of signalling pathways in many cell types. NF-kappaB in mice has been implicated as an important regulator… (More)
BACKGROUND
Both intercellular and intracellular signals are transduced primarily by interactions of secreted and/or membrane-anchored polypeptides, and they play a pivotal role in regulating… (More)
