SHIP1 Negatively Regulates Proliferation of Osteoclast Precursors via Akt-Dependent Alterations in D-Type Cyclins and p27

Alterations in D-Type Cyclins and p27 Osteoclast Precursors via Akt-Dependent SHIP1 Negatively Regulates Proliferation of

PIAS3 negatively regulates RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis directly in osteoclast precursors and indirectly via osteoblasts.

Cytokine signaling via various transcription factors regulates receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB ligand (RANKL)-mediated osteoclast differentiation from monocyte/macrophage lineage cells involved in propagation and resolution of inflammatory bone destruction. Protein inhibitor of activated STAT3 (PIAS3) was initially identified as a molecule that inhibits DNA binding of STAT3 and...

Cyclins D1 and D2 mediate myc-induced proliferation via sequestration of p27(Kip1) and p21(Cip1).

Cyclin E-Cdk2 kinase activation is an essential step in Myc-induced proliferation. It is presumed that this requires sequestration of G(1) cell cycle inhibitors p27(Kip1) and p21(Cip1) (Ckis) via a Myc-induced protein. We provide biochemical and genetic evidence to show that this sequestration is mediated via induction of cyclin D1 and/or cyclin D2 protein synthesis rates. Consistent with this ...

CD133 negatively regulates tumorigenicity via AKT pathway in synovial sarcoma.

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is an aggressive tumor that accounts for almost 10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. In this study, we found the expression of CD133 in human SS specimens, thus, we focused on the function of CD133 in SS. Separation of the CD133-positive and -negative subpopulations in SS cell lines clarified that the CD133-negative subpopulation exhibited enhanced growth and hyperphosphorylat...

Clinico-prognostic value of D-type cyclins and p27 in laryngeal cancer patients: a review.

Despite recent improvements in surgical and radiation therapy, failures still occur in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas, which may have a very different clinical outcome even when their clinical and histopathological characteristics are similar. The apparent inadequacy of "traditional" prognostic factors in predicting the clinical evolution of laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas ...
