Cyclin E is the only cyclin-dependent kinase 2-associated cyclin that predicts metastasis and survival in early stage non-small cell lung cancer.

چکیده
Progression through G1-S transition and S phase of the cell cycle is mediated by cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (cdk2), which interacts with several cyclins. Two of these, cyclin E and cyclin A2 (also known as cyclin A), are overexpressed in many cancers. Cyclin E2 and cyclin A1 are recently discovered cdk2-interacting cyclins that are found in malignant tumor cell lines and in acute myeloid leukemia, respectively. Expression and prognostic role of these cyclins in solid tumors is unknown. Here, we have analyzed expression and prognostic relevance of the cdk2-associated cyclins in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Fresh-frozen biopsies (n = 70) from completely resected tumors with stage I to IIIA NSCLC were studied. Gene expression was analyzed by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR. Expression levels of cyclin E (P = 0.04) and cyclin A2 (P = 0.004) were significantly higher in the tumor samples than in normal controls. Cyclin A1, cyclin A2, and cyclin E2 expression levels did not have prognostic relevance for survival. The mean survival time associated with low and high levels of cyclin E was 69.4 and 47.2 months, respectively, which was statistically significant (P = 0.03). Differences in survival were particularly pronounced in stages I and II. Cyclin E was also closely associated with the development of distant metastasis (P = 0.01). Finally, we confirmed by immunohistochemistry analyses that cyclin E mRNA expression was closely associated with cyclin E protein expression. In conclusion, cyclin E is a strong independent prognostic indicator in patients with early-stage NSCLC, whereas cyclin E2, cyclin A1, and cyclin A2 do not have a prognostic role in NSCLC.

An unbounded number of events exist beneath the intricacy of each particular hematologic malignancy, prompting the tumor cells into an unrestrained proliferation and invasion. Aberrant expression of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) is one of these events which disrupts regulation of cell cycle and subsequently, results in cancer progression. In this study, we surveyed the repressive impact of mu...

Early in the development of many animals, before transcription begins, any change in the pattern of protein synthesis is attributed to a change in the translational activity or stability of mRNA in the egg and early embryo. As a result, translational control is critical for a variety of developmental decisions, including oocyte maturation and initiation of preimplantation development. In this s...

Despite its potential role as a tumor suppressor, p27 gene, a member of the Cip/Kip family of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor genes, has never been found mutated in human tumors. We investigated p27 protein expression in a series of 108 non-small cell lung cancers (57.4% stage 1, 16.7% stage 2, and 25.9% stage 3) to determine whether the lack or altered expression of this protein correlates w...
