Mutations of the p16 gene in gliomas.
In the present study we investigated the frequency of p16 gene exon 2 mutations in 35 malignant gliomas, using either direct sequencing of the PCR products or cloning into the pCRII vector and sequencing of the cloned PCR products. No mutations were detected during direct sequencing of the PCR products.

Objective : p16 is cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor which decelerates cell cycle by inactivating CDKs that phosphorylate retinoblastoma protein (pRb). In cervical carcinogenesis, abnormality of p16 gene such as methylation of p16 gene promoter was investigated as an important factor. The aims of our study are to investigate the expression of p16

Alteration of p16 and p15 genes in human uterine tumours [PDF]
The roles of the p16 and p15 inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase tumour suppressor genes were examined in human uterine cervical and endometrial cancers. p16 mRNA, examined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), was significantly reduced in five of 19 (26%) cervical and four of 25 (16%) endometrial tumours.

p16(INK4A) positively regulates p21(WAF1) expression by suppressing AUF1-dependent mRNA decay. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: p16(INK4a) and p21(WAF1) are two independent cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors encoded by the CDKN2A and CDKN1A genes, respectively. p16(INK4a) and p21(WAF1) are similarly involved in various anti-cancer processes, including the regulation ...

Expression of p16 induces transcriptional downregulation of the RB gene [PDF]
The RB and p16(INK4A) tumor suppressor genes function in the same pathway of cell cycle control. Previous evidence indicates that the p16(INK4A) gene is transcriptionally repressed by the RB gene product, pRB. In this study using human ovarian cancer cell lines, we found that RB protein and mRNA were expressed at higher levels in cell lines lacking p16

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) constitute an important repair system, but may be impaired by exposure to cardiovascular risk factors. Consequently, adipose tissue-derived MSCs from pigs with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) show decreased vitality. A growing

Inactivation of p16 gene in leukemia.
To determine the frequency of p16 gene inactivation in leukemia cells, and to evaluate their value in the prediction of their clinical outcome. Bone marrow or peripheral blood samples from 48 patients with leukemia were examined by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (MPCR) to detect p16 gene homozygous deletion, and restriction enzyme PCR to detect ...
