1 Suppression of zinc-induced p53 phosphorylation and p21 expression by wortmannin in A549 human pulmonary epithelial cells. Wortmannin tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
2 Treatment with wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-related kinases, suppressed ZnSO(4)-induced phosphorylation and accumulation of p53 protein. Wortmannin tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
3 Expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21, one of the genes regulated by p53, was up-regulated following exposure to ZnSO(4), and suppressed by preincubation with wortmannin. Wortmannin tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
4 These results suggest that zinc might induce the phosphorylation of p53 at Ser15 through wortmannin-sensitive pathway(s) at least in part, and result in the transactivation of the p21 gene in this human pulmonary epithelial cell line. Wortmannin tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
