1 9535786 Decreased BRCA1 expression levels may arrest the cell cycle through activation of p53 checkpoint in human sporadic breast tumors.
2 9535786 We also investigated possible relationships between BRCA1, p53, mdm-2 and p21(WAF1/CIP1) at the expression level. p53 expression was unaffected in almost all the specimens, mdm-2 was overexpressed in 18/35 specimens while 21/35 overexpressed p21.
3 9535786 Samples exhibiting reduced BRCA1 levels simultaneously overexpressed both p21 and mdm-2, showing that BRCA1, at certain levels, even reduced up to 2.7-fold, is functional and sufficient to upregulate p21, when p53 activity is inhibited by its negative regulator, the mdm-2.
4 9535786 On the contrary, specimens exhibiting more than 2.7-fold reduced BRCA1 levels, overexpressed p21 while mdm-2 expression was normal, allowing us to speculate that p21 transcriptional activation is due to p53 activity, in cases with dramatically decreased BRCA1 expression.
5 9535786 Our findings provide evidence, indicating that BRCA1 might affect cell cycle regulation and loss of BRCA1 function due to decreased expression leads to cell cycle arrest, through p53 and p21 genes.
