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.

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).

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

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.
