The expression of a negative regulator of the cell cycle, p21WAF1 protein, is trans-activated by wild-type p53, but not by the mutant protein. Therefore, mutations of the p53 and WAF1 genes may be complementary. We examined DNAs from 70 human primary lung (63 of NSCLC and 7 of SCLC) and 24 pancreatic cancers (19 primary cancers and 5 cell lines) for mutations of the WAF1 gene. No mutations were detected in any samples examined, regardless of the mutational state of the p53 gene. The results suggested that aberrations of the coding sequence of the WAF1 gene are not associated with carcinogenesis in lung and pancreatic cancers.
细胞周期负调控因子p21WAF1蛋白的表达可被野生型p53反式激活,而不能被突变蛋白激活。因此,p53和WAF1基因的突变可能具有互补性。我们检测了70例人原发性肺癌(63例非小细胞肺癌和7例小细胞肺癌)和24例胰腺癌(19例原发性癌和5个细胞系)的DNA中WAF1基因的突变情况。在所检测的任何样本中均未检测到突变,无论p53基因的突变状态如何。结果表明,WAF1基因编码序列的畸变与肺癌和胰腺癌的发生无关。
