Akt-dependent activation of Erk by cyclin D1b contributes to cell invasiveness and tumorigenicity.
A total of two major isoforms, cyclin D1a and cyclin D1b, are generated from the human cyclin D1 gene by alternative splicing. Cyclin D1b is scarcely expressed in normal tissues; however, it is expressed at a high frequency in certain types of cancerous tissue. The present authors previously constructed cyclin D1b transgenic (Tg) mice and identified rectal tumors, including adenocarcinoma and s...
متن کاملEnhanced skin carcinogenesis in cyclin D1-conditional transgenic mice: cyclin D1 alters keratinocyte response to calcium-induced terminal differentiation.
Cyclin D1 is a critical gene involved in the regulation of progression through the G(1) phase of the cell cycle, thereby contributing to cell proliferation. Gene amplification and abnormal expression of Cyclin D1 have been described in several human cancers. To understand their biological significance in skin carcinogenesis, we established Cyclin D1-conditional transgenic mice with C57BL/6J bac...
متن کاملIdentification of ASF/SF2 as a critical, allele-specific effector of the cyclin D1b oncogene.
The cyclin D1b oncogene arises from alternative splicing of the CCND1 transcript, and harbors markedly enhanced oncogenic functions not shared by full-length cyclin D1 (cyclin D1a). Recent studies showed that cyclin D1b is selectively induced in a subset of tissues as a function of tumorigenesis; however, the underlying mechanism(s) that control tumor-specific cyclin D1b induction remain unsolv...
متن کاملConsequence of the tumor-associated conversion to cyclin D1b
Clinical evidence suggests that cyclin D1b, a variant of cyclin D1, is associated with tumor progression and poor outcome. However, the underlying molecular basis was unknown. Here, novel models were created to generate a genetic switch from cyclin D1 to cyclin D1b. Extensive analyses uncovered overlapping but non-redundant functions of cyclin D1b compared to cyclin D1 on developmental phenotyp...
متن کاملCyclin D1b in human breast carcinoma and coexpression with cyclin D1a is associated with poor outcome.
BACKGROUND/AIM Cyclin D1 is a mediator of cell-cycle control that is frequently overexpressed in primary ductal breast carcinomas, but its role is controversial. A polymorphism in the CCND1 gene, G870A, results in an aberrantly spliced protein (cyclin D1b) lacking the Thr-286 phosphorylation site necessary for nuclear export. Studies of murine fibroblasts have shown that although overexpression...
