Cyclins and breast cancer
P S Steeg et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 1998.
Abstract
Cyclins are regulatory subunits for cyclin dependent kinases in the coordination of the cell cycle. Cyclins can also serve non-cell cycle functions, such as the transactivation of estrogen receptor by cyclin D. Evidence for the participation of the G1 cyclins D and E in breast cancer is summarized, including transgenic and knockout mice, transfections, and expression patterns in cohort studies. Overexpression of cyclin D has been reported in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and similar overexpression of cyclin E is suggested. Strategies to reduce cyclin expression are discussed as potential prevention efforts.
