With the goal of facilitating viral reproduction, cytomegalovirus (CMV) induces changes in the host cell replication machinery. Very little information is available, however, on the effects brought about by CMV on proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Ki-67 expression in infected cells. Fift

โฆ Synopsis
The proteasome is a protease complex responsible for rapid, selective, and irreversible removal of regulatory proteins, as well as many other cellular proteins. In this study, we have demonstrated that a proliferationassociated nuclear protein Ki-67 depended on the proteasome for its rapid degradation. A proteasome-specific inhibitor lactacystin augmented Ki-67 protein levels in pancreatic cancer BxPC-3 cells while repressed the level of steady-state Ki-67 mRNA. Inhibition of the proteasome also led to accumulation of two CDK inhibitors p27 kip1 and p21 cip1 in the BxPC-3 cells. Failed reduction of Ki-67 protein and enhanced levels of the two CDK inhibitors are likely contributing factors for the suppressed BxPC-3 proliferation after proteasome inhibition.

## BACKGROUND. In various neoplasms expression of the proliferation-related Ki-67 antigen has successfully been linked with parameters of progression of disease. While a definite grading scheme for oligodendrogliomas has still not been agreed upon, any parameter of tumor proliferation that might b
In this study, the authors evaluated the prognostic significance of the expression of nucleolar antigen p120, along with other cell proliferationassociated proteins, in prostate adenocarcinomas (PACs) and compared the results with previously reported data on p34 cdc2 cyclin-dependent kinase (p34 cdk
