Tumour-suppressive activity of the growth arrest-specific gene, GAS1 / by Andreas Avdokiou.

Bibliography: leaves 170-196. / xix, 199 leaves, [84] leaves of plates : ill. (some col.) ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / The results presented in this thesis establish the growth-suppressive activity of the human GAS1 gene and provide the first direct evidence that GAS1 can inhibit the growth of tumours. In addition, this study demonstrates that the antiproliferative effect of GAS1 are mediated by a p53 dependent pathway and that functional inactivation of p53 by either mutation and/or overexpression of the MDM2 oncogene product inhibits the GAS1 mediated growth-suppression. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Physiology, 1997?
