To evaluate whether or not c-myc-ARF-Mdm2-p53 axis is intact in ICN1-dependent tumor cells, we have shown that p53 and p19arf were downregulated and Mdm2 was upregulated at both mRNA and protein levels in the tumor cells compared with nontumorigenic ICN1-overexpressing cells [98]. The gene discussed is TP53; the disease is neoplasm.
