Title: Tumour-suppressive activity of the growth arrest-specific gene, GAS1 / by Andreas Avdokiou.
Author: Evdokiou, Andreas
Issue Date: 1997
School/Discipline: Dept. of Physiology
Abstract: The results presented in this thesis establish the growth-suppressive activity of the human GAS1 gene and provide the first direct evidence that GAS1 can inhibit the growth of tumours. In addition, this study demonstrates that the antiproliferative effect of GAS1 are mediated by a p53 dependent pathway and that functional inactivation of p53 by either mutation and/or overexpression of the MDM2 oncogene product inhibits the GAS1 mediated growth-suppression.
