The tumor-specific hyperactive forms of cyclin E are resistant to inhibition by p21 and p27.
The low molecular weight (LMW) isoforms of cyclin E are unique to cancer cells. In breast cancer, such alteration of cyclin E is a very strong predictor of poor patient outcome. Here we show that alteration in binding properties of these LMW isoforms to CDK2 and the CDK inhibitors (CKIs), p21 and p27, results in their functional hyperactivity. The LMW forms of cyclin E are severalfold more effe...
متن کاملTumor-specific low molecular weight forms of cyclin E induce genomic instability and resistance to p21, p27, and antiestrogens in breast cancer.
The deregulated expression of cyclin E as measured by the overexpression of its low molecular weight (LMW) isoforms is a powerful predictor of poor outcome in patients with breast cancer. The mechanism by which these LMW forms give tumor cells a growth advantage is not known and is the subject of this article. In this article, we provide the pathobiological mechanisms of how these LMW forms are...
متن کاملCyclin E low-molecular-weight isoform as a predictor of breast cancer in Japanese women.
Overexpression of low-molecular-weight isoforms (LMWI) of cyclin E in breast cancer cells is associated with poor prognosis and could serve a novel role in breast cancer progression. LMWI originate from proteolytic processing of cyclin E, which is deregulated and hyperactive. In this study, levels of full-form/LMWI cyclin E were determined with the use of Western blot analysis in 69 Japanese br...
متن کاملEarly to intermediate steps of tumor embolic formation involve specific proteolytic processing of E-cadherin regulated by Rab7.
The lymphovascular embolus is an enigmatic entity adept at metastatic dissemination and chemotherapy resistance. Using MARY-X, a human breast cancer xenograft that exhibits florid lymphovascular emboli in mice and spheroids in vitro, we established a model where the in vitro transition stages from minced tumoral aggregates to well-formed spheroids served as a surrogate for in vivo emboli format...
متن کاملProteolytic processing yields two secreted forms of sonic hedgehog.
Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is expressed in tissues with known signalling capacities, such as the notochord, the floor plate of the central nervous system, and the zone of polarizing activity in the limb. Several lines of evidence indicate that Shh is involved in floor plate induction, somite patterning, and regulation of anterior-posterior polarity in the vertebrate limb. In this report, we investiga...
