AP4 directly downregulates p16 and p21 to suppress senescence and mediate transformation

Here we analyzed the function of the c-MYC-inducible basic helix–loop–helix leucine-zipper transcription factor AP4 in AP4-deficient mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs). Loss of AP4 resulted in premature senescence and resistance towards immortalization. Senescence was accompanied by induction of the cy...
