## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Two families of tumor suppressor genes, Cip/Kip (p21, p27, and 57) and INK4 (p15, p16, p18, and p19), regulate cell proliferation and neoplastic transformation. p27 exerts its suppressor effect through cyclin Eβdependent kinase (CDK2) by inhibiting the phosphorylation of
## BACKGROUND. Low expression of p27 kip1 , a dominant cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor involved in G1-S transition of the cell cycle, recently has been reported to be associated with aggressive tumor growth. It has been shown that active cell proliferation alludes to poor prognosis in patients w
An important positive regulator of the cell cycle, cyclin D1, is often amplified and overexpressed in malignancies. Cyclin D1 aberrations were analysed in grade II-IV astrocytomas by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), mRNA in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Proliferation activit
Background and Objectives: p27Kip1 is an inhibitor of cyclindependent kinases and is speculated to be a potential prognostic indicator in numerous human cancers. We investigated expression of p27Kip1 along with cyclin D1 in gastric cancer to estimate the clinical utility of p27Kip1. Methods: Immunoh
