Additionally, since the identification and cloning of the p27 gene in 1994 [ 16 ] , the p27 protein has been shown to be involved in various other aspects of cell physiology and pathology [ 17 ] . Our previous study has shown, that differentiation of cells in tissue culture is associated with an increase in p27 expression [ 18 ] . Although a regular p27 expression protects normal cells from apoptosis, overexpression of p27 induces apoptosis of cells, through elevation of proapoptotic proteins, such as Bax [ 19 20 ] . These observations indicate that changes in p27 expression can determine the fate of muscle cells.
