1 Human papillomavirus type 16 E6 inactivation of p53 in normal human mammary epithelial cells promotes tamoxifen-mediated apoptosis. Tamoxifen tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
2 Early passage p53(-) HMEC-E6-transduced cells treated with 1.0 microM tamoxifen rapidly underwent apoptosis. Tamoxifen tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
3 In contrast, early passage p53(+) HMEC-LXSN vector controls treated with 1.0 microM tamoxifen underwent G1-G0-phase arrest but did not undergo apoptosis. Tamoxifen tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
4 p53(-) HMEC-E6 cells rapidly acquired resistance to tamoxifen-mediated apoptosis after 10 passages in culture (in the absence of tamoxifen). Tamoxifen tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
5 Tamoxifen-mediated apoptosis in p53(-) HMEC-E6 cells was not blocked by inhibitors of transcription and protein synthesis. Tamoxifen tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
6 These data suggest that the acute loss of p53 function in HMECs by expression of HPV-16 E6 results in marked sensitivity to tamoxifen-mediated apoptosis but that resistance to apoptosis rapidly develops within 10 passages in vitro. Tamoxifen tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
