Loss of a p53-associated G1 Checkpoint Does Not Decrease Cell Survival following DNA Damage
TL;DR: Compared with clonogenic survival of cells which are isogeneic except for p53 functional status, it is found that loss of a G1 checkpoint in mammalian cells is not associated with increased sensitivity to the lethal effects of ionizing radiation or a topoisomerase I inhibitor, camptothecin, and indicates thatIncreased sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents is not necessarily a defining feature of a mammalian cell cycle checkpoint.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of the nuclear matrix in the organization and function of dna
TL;DR: A model for CHROMOSOME STRUCTURE and a model for DNA topoisomerases associated with the NUCLEAR MATRIX are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitation of GSTP1 methylation in non-neoplastic prostatic tissue and organ-confined prostate adenocarcinoma.
Carmen Jerónimo,Henning Usadel,Rui Henrique,Jorge Oliveira,Carlos Lopes,William G. Nelson,David Sidransky +6 more
TL;DR: Quantitation of GSTP1 methylation accurately discriminates between normal hyperplastic tissue and prostatic carcinoma in small samples of prostate tissue and may augment the standard pathologic/histologic assessment of the prostate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Androgens and diabetes in men: results from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III).
Elizabeth Selvin,Manning Feinleib,Lei Zhang,Lei Zhang,Sabine Rohrmann,Nader Rifai,William G. Nelson,Adrian S. Dobs,Shehzad Basaria,Sherita Hill Golden,Elizabeth A. Platz +10 more
TL;DR: Low free and bioavailable testosterone concentrations in the normal range were associated with diabetes, independent of adiposity, and data suggest that low androgen levels may be a risk factor for diabetes in men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypermethylation of the Human Glutathione S-Transferase-π Gene (GSTP1) CpG Island Is Present in a Subset of Proliferative Inflammatory Atrophy Lesions but Not in Normal or Hyperplastic Epithelium of the Prostate : A Detailed Study Using Laser-Capture Microdissection
Masashi Nakayama,Christina J. Bennett,Jessica Hicks,Jonathan I. Epstein,Elizabeth A. Platz,William G. Nelson,Angelo M. De Marzo +6 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that atrophic epithelium in a subset of PIA lesions may lead to high-grade PIN and/or adenocarcinoma is supported, because these atrophic lesions are so prevalent and extensive, even though only a small subset contains this somatic DNA alteration.
