摘要: Mdm2 acts as a major regulator of the tumor suppressor p53 by targeting its destruction. Here, we show that mdm2 gene is also regulated Ras-driven Raf/MEK/MAP kinase pathway, in p53-independent manner. induced activated Raf degrades absence inhibitor p19ARF. This regulatory pathway accounts for observation cells transformed oncogenic Ras are more resistant to p53-dependent apoptosis following exposure DNA damage. Activation Ras-induced may therefore play key role suppressing during development and treatment. In primary cells, activates Levels determined opposing effects Raf-induced p19ARF Mdm2.
