Downregulated mRNA expression of ASPP and the hypermethylation of the 5'-untranslated region in cancer cell lines retaining wild-type p53.

The p53 protein is one of the best-known tumour suppressors. Recently discovered ASPP1 and ASPP2 are specific activators of p53. To understand, if apoptosis-stimulating protein of p53 (ASPP) inactivation offers a selective advantage to tumors that have wild-type p53, we measured the mRNA expression...
