1 Quercetin mediates the down-regulation of mutant p53 in the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB468. Quercetin tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
2 We have correlated these effects on cell proliferation with the observation that quercetin strongly inhibited, in a time- and dose-dependent fashion, the expression of the mutated p53 protein, which is the only form present at high levels in this cell line. Quercetin tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
3 Quercetin did not affect the steady-state mRNA levels of p53, but prevented the accumulation of newly synthesized p53 protein. Quercetin tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
4 This quercetin action appeared to be somewhat specific for p53 because the drug did not alter the amount of other proteins present in MDA-MB468 cells such as P-glycoprotein and did not prevent the induction of the synthesis of epidermal growth factor receptor in response to epidermal growth factor. Quercetin tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
