Depletion of BRCA1 impairs differentiation but enhances proliferation of mammary epithelial cells

Furuta, Saori, Jiang, Xianzhi, Gu, Bingnan, Cheng, Eric, Chen, Phang-Lang, Lee, Wen-Hwa

Cumulative evidence indicates that breast cancer-associated gene 1 (BRCA1) participates in DNA damage repair and cell-cycle checkpoint control, serving as a tumor susceptibility gene to maintain the...

Copper uptake is required for pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate-mediated oxidation and protein level increase of p53 in cells.

Furuta, Saori, Ortiz, Fausto, Zhu Sun, Xiu, Wu, Hsiao-Huei, Mason, Andrew, Momand, Jamil

The p53 tumour-suppressor protein is a transcription factor that activates the expression of genes involved in cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and DNA repair. The p53 protein is vulnerable to oxidation...
