Abstract
The p53 gene is a frequent target of mutation in a wide variety of human cancers. Previously, it was reported that conditional expression of wild-type p53 protein in a cell line (GM47.23) derived from a human glioblastoma multiform tumor had a negative effect on cell proliferation. We have now investigated the effect that induction of wild-type p53 protein in this cell line has on the expression of the proliferating-cell nuclear antigen gene. The proliferating-cell nuclear antigen gene encodes a nuclear protein that is an auxiliary factor of DNA polymerase delta and part of the DNA replication machinery of the cell. We show that inhibition of cell cycle progression into S-phase after induction of wild-type p53 protein is accompanied by selective down-regulation of proliferating-cell nuclear antigen mRNA and protein expression.Keywords
