SAF-1 regulates cell cycle progression through p21 induction.

2004 JUN 7 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- SAF-1 regulates cell cycle progression through p21 induction.

According to researchers in the United States, "[i]nflammation-responsive transcription factor, serum amyloid A-activating factor 1 (SAF-1), has been shown to regulate several genes, including serum amyloid A, gamma-fibrinogen, and matrix metalloproteinase 1, whose abnormal expression is associated with the pathogenesis of arthritis, atherosclerosis, and amyloidosis."

"Prolonged high level expression of SAF-1 in cultured cells failed to produce any stable cell line that overexpresses SAF-1. To test the fate of SAF-1-overexpressing cells, the cells were …
