“…A number of cellular genes has been found to be induced by p53. Among these are p21 (el-Deiry et al, 1993), GADD45 (Kastan et al, 1992), BAX (Miyashita et al, 1994), MDM2 (Wu et al, 1993), BTG2 (Rouault et al, 1996), PIGs ), 14-3-3s (Hermeking et al, 1997, IGFBP3 (Buckbinder et al, 1995), PI(3)K regulatory subunit p85 (Yin et al, 1998), KILLER/DR5 , and TAP I (Zhu et al, 1999). p21, 14-3-3s, GADD45, and BTG2 have been shown to be capable of mediating p53-dependent cell cycle arrest (Chen et al, 1996;elDeiry et al, 1993;Hermeking et al, 1997;Rouault et al, 1996;Wang et al, 1999) while BAX, p85, IGFBP3, KILLER/DR5 and PIGs may mediate apoptosis (Buckbinder et al, 1995;Miyashita et al, 1994;Polyak et al, 1997;Wu et al, 1997;Yin et al, 1998).…”
