Dmp1 (Dmtf1) is activated by oncogenic Ras-Raf signaling and induces cell-cycle arrest in an Arf, p53-dependent fashion. The survival of K-ras(LA) mice was shortened by approximately 15 weeks in both Dmp1(+/-) and Dmp1(-/-) backgrounds, the lung tumors of which showed significantly decreased frequency of p53 mutations compared to Dmp1(+/+). Approximately 40% of K-ras(LA) lung tumors from Dmp1(+/+) mice lost one allele of the Dmp1 gene, suggesting the primary involvement of Dmp1 in K-ras-induced ...[more]
