An important mechanism by which the tumor suppressor p53 maintains genomic stability is
to induce cell cycle arrest through activation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21
WAF1/Cip1 gene. We show that the gene encoding the gut-enriched Krüppel-like factor
(GKLF, KLF4) is concurrently induced with p21 WAF1/Cip1 during serum deprivation and
DNA damage elicited by methyl methanesulfonate. The increases in expression of both Gklf
and p21 WAF1/Cip1 due to DNA damage are dependent on p53. Moreover, during the first …
