Abstract
The present invention provides a novel method of inhibiting the growth of tumor cells based upon the discovery that p19 acts as a suppressor of oncogenic transformation by binding to the MDM2 oncoprotein and blocking MDM2's ability to target associated proteins, such as p53 and Rb, for proteosomal degradation. The method provided by the present invention inhibits the growth of a tumor cell by administering to the cell an effective amount of p19 or a mimetic thereof, and p53 to inhibit the growth of the tumor cell. Also provided by the present invention are pharmaceutical composition comprising p19 or a mimetic thereof, and/or p53.
