Cyclins and their associated kinases (cdks) play a key role in controlling the cell cycle, a process whose disregulation can potentially lead to uncontrolled cell growth and hence to cancer. We have studied the role of both cyclin E and its associated kinase cdk2 in ovarian cancer. Primary, metastat

Cyclin D1 (CCND1) amplification is found in 10-15 per cent of invasive breast carcinomas, but it is not well established whether this gene alteration also occurs in the precursor of invasive breast carcinoma, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). By Southern blot analysis, cyclin D1 gene amplification wa
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
## Background: Abnormalities of chromosome band 11q13 are frequent in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (scchn). the oncogene ccnd1 is located at 11q13 and encodes cyclin d1, a cell cycle-regulating protein. the authors investigated the clinical relevance and associations between amplifi
Decreased gelsolin and increased cyclin D1 are among the most common defects found in human and rodent breast cancers. Our purpose was to determine the frequency of concurrence of these 2 alterations in this malignancy. Our results demonstrate that gelsolin protein and mRNA were significantly reduce
