## BACKGROUND. The cyclin D1 gene is amplified and/or overexpressed in several types of human cancer, including cancers of the breast, esophagus, head, and neck. However, the role of cyclin D1 in prostate cancer has not been previously studied in detail. METHODS. Six human prostate cancer cell lin

Cyclin-D1 over-expression represents one of several common alterations in the G 1 -S transition associated with malignancies. Conclusive evidences indicate that cyclin D1 is a proto-oncogene and the gene is amplified or rearranged in different tumour types. Since very little is known about aberratio
## Background: Overexpression of cyclin d1 has been documented in a number of human cancers. increased expression of cyclin d1 can contribute to cellular transformation and abnormal proliferation. ## Methods: Quantitative rt-pcr and/or western blot analysis were used to determine the level of cyc
We analyzed the expression and amplification of cyclin D1 and CDK4 genes in ovarian carcinomas. Northern blot analysis revealed overexpression of cyclin D1 in 12 of 65 (18%) ovarian carcinomas while CDK4 was overexpressed in 7 of 48 cases (14%). None of the tumors showed amplification of any of the
