title: Induction of tumor suppressor p21 protein by kinase inhibitors in MCF-7 cells.
abstract: The expression level of tumor suppressor p21 protein in response to protein kinase inhibitors was examined in MCF-7 cells. Both H7 (serine/threonine kinase inhibitor) and staurosporine (protein kinase C inhibitor) were able to induce p21 protein in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Induction of p21 by H7 but not staurosporine required the induction of p53 protein. Induction of p21 was preceded by the induction of p53 protein. Based on FACS analysis, both H7 and staurosporine act as antimitogenic agents.
