    Abstract:
    We have shown that the ectopic expression of Interferon Regulatory Factor 1 (IRF-1) results in human cancer cell death accompanied by the down-regulation of the Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein (IAP) survivin and the induction of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21(WAF1/CIP1). In this report, we investigated the direct role of p21 in the suppression of survivin. We show that IRF-1 down-regulates cyclin B1, cdc-2, cyclin E, E2F1, Cdk2, Cdk4, and results in p21-mediated G1 cell cycle arrest. Interestingly, while p21 directly mediates G1 cell cycle arrest, IRF-1 or other IRF-1 signaling pathways may directly regulate survivin in human cancer cells.
