p53‐dependent up‐regulation of CDKN1A and down‐regulation of CCNE2 in response to beryllium

Abstract

Beryllium salts (here, beryllium sulphate) can produce a cytostatic effect in some cell types. The basis for this effect may include increased expression of proliferation inhibitors, reduced expression of proliferation promoters, or both. This study sought to determine the role of p53, the tumour‐suppressing transcription factor, in mediating beryllium‐induced cytostasis.
