摘要: The Mdm2 protein is frequently overexpressed in human non-seminomatous germ cell tumours and transitional carcinoma of the bladder where it may contribute to tolerance wtp53. forms an autoregulatory feedback loop with p53; gene responsive transactivation by p53 once synthesized terminates response. We show here that topoisomerase poison etoposide, like ultra violet irradiation, inhibits synthesis. Cytotoxic concentrations etoposide (IC90 for >3 h) result inhibition induction at both RNA level. Rapid apoptosis ensues. Global transcription not inhibited: p21waf-1/cip-1 GADD45 expression increase a dose dependent manner. Inhibition synthesis depends on continuous presence suggesting DNA damage prevent transcription. Downregulation transcript occurs cells expressing HPV16-E6 p53-independent. When are treated pulse (1 h) reincubated drug free medium, commences immediately after repaired (3 h) response attenuated. Induction loss clonogenicity 3 – 5-fold lower under treatment conditions. This first observation following (topo II) poisons, feature be useful tumour types tolerated overexpression Mdm2.
