conclusions despite the fact that abnormalities in p53 and p27kip1 may be involved in the development of oscc, their clinical significance in the studied population seems limited. further investigation on the combined p53/p27kip1 expression may be helpful in predicting the biologic behavior of this tumor. results p53 and p27kip1 expression were found in 28.57% (8 positive versus 20 negative) an...

Machine learning methods are used to predict the inhibitory activity of compound targeting cyclin dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), and analyse fragment features CDK4 inhibitors.

Background and Objective: Clinical behavior of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is known to be different according to histological growth pattern and basosquamous cell carcinomas (BSC) are known with their aggressive behavior and metastatic capacity. In this study, we evaluated bcl-2 and cyclin D1 expressions in BCC and BSC cases comparatively, to explore their predictive value on the aggres...

Abstract Objective Epidermal stem cells (EpSCs) can self-renew, which are responsible for the long-term maintenance of skin, and it also plays a critical role in wound re-epithelization, but mechanism underlying EpSCs proliferation is unclear. GDF-5, known as BMP-14, member BMP family be used self-renewal supporter. Here, we studied effects GDF-5 on mouse healing. Methods Firstly, was tested by...

Cyclin D1 and cyclin E are overexpressed in approximately 45% and 30% of breast cancers, respectively, and adverse associations with patient outcome have been reported. The potential roles of cyclin D1 and cyclin E expression as markers of therapeutic responsiveness to the pure steroidal antiestrogen ICI 182780 were investigated using T-47D breast cancer cell lines constitutively overexpressing...

Objective(s): Juglone is isolated from many species of the Juglandaceae family and used as an anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-tumor therapeutic. Here, we evaluated juglone-induced antitumor effect in ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells. Materials and Methods: MTT assay was performed to examine juglone anti-proliferative effect. Cell cycle and apoptosis were studied using flow cytometry in juglone-t...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Deregulation of cell cycle control is a hallmark of cancer. The primary cyclins (A, B1, D1, D3, and E) are crucial for cell cycle progression. Secondary cyclins (C and H) have putative indirect effects on cell cycle progression and have not previously been evaluated in colon cancer. This study examined cyclin protein expression and gene amplification in colon adenocarcinoma and ...

more recently medical chemistry research has been focused on proteins that drive and controlcell cycle progression. among them, the cyclin dependent kinases (cdk’s) are a group ofserine/threonine kinases, which rule the transition between successive stages of the cell cycle. theactivity of cdk’s is regulated by multiple mechanisms, including binding to cyclins, which is a broadclass of positive...
