To investigate the cell cycle regulatory mechanisms involved in the growth of smooth muscle tumors, we studied the expression of Ki-67, cyclins E and A, and their catalytic partners, the cyclin-dependent kinases cdk2 and cdc2 by using tissue specimens from benign and malignant smooth muscle tumors.

The p27 Kip1 protein is a negative regulator of the cell cycle and a potential tumor suppressor gene. Reduced expression of the p27 Kip1 protein has been reported in several human tumors and has been associated with higher tumor grade and increased mortality in breast, lung, colon, prostate, bladder
Paraffin sections from 190 epithelial ovarian tumours, including 159 malignant and 31 benign epithelial tumours, were analysed immunohistochemically for expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2 (CDKN2A) gene product p16 INK4A (p16). Most benign tumours showed no p16 expression in the tumour
## Background: D-type cyclins, in association with the cyclin-dependent kinases cdk4 and cdk6, promote progression through the g1 phase of the cell cycle. cdk activity is modulated by inhibitors such as p15ink4b and p16ink4a. loss of function of p15ink4b and p16ink4a (multiple tumor suppressor-i an
Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze samples of 40 newly diagnosed childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) for their expression of cyclins (D1, E, A), cyclindependent kinases (cdk2, cdk4) and tumor-suppressor genes (pRb, p16 INK4A ), in order to discover whether or not the expression of th
## BACKGROUND. The expression of p27 Kip1 and apoptosis have been implicated in tumor aggressiveness and proved to be prognostic predictors for several human malignancies. In this study, the authors sought to investigate the expression of p27 Kip1 and apoptosis and their potential significance in
