Cancer Therapy: Preclinical Attenuation of the Retinoblastoma Pathway in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors Due to Increased Cdk4/Cdk6
Purpose: In mice, genetic changes that inactivate the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor pathway often result in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (Pan-NETs). Conversely, in humans with this disease, mutations in genes of the retinoblastoma pathway have rarely been detected, even in genome-wide sequencing studies. In this study, we took a closer look at the role of the retinoblastoma pathway in hum...

متن کاملGestational diabetes leads to down-regulation of CDK4-pRB-E2F1 pathway genes in pancreatic islets of rat offspring
Objective(s): The link between a hyperglycemic intrauterine environment and the development of diabetes later in life has been observed in offspring exposed to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but the underlying mechanisms for this phenomenon are still not clear. Reduced β-cells mass is a determinant in the development of diabetes (type 1 and type 2 diabetes). Some recent studies have provi...
متن کاملInfrequent mutation of the p16/MTS1 gene and overexpression of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 in human primary soft-tissue sarcoma.
The pl6INK4a/MTS1 (p16) gene encodes a specific inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4 and CDK6. The p16 gene is frequently mutated or deleted in many types of cancer cell lines as well as in certain types of primary tumors. p16 knockout mice are viable but predisposed to sarcoma and B-cell lymphoma. To investigate the role of p16 in human soft-tissue sarcoma tumor progression, we examined...
متن کاملAn essential pathway links FLT3-ITD, HCK and CDK6 in acute myeloid leukemia
CDK4/CDK6 and RB proteins drive the progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the activity of the CDK/Cyclin D complex is increased. The mechanism involved is unknown, as are the respective roles played by CDK4 or CDK6 in this process. Here, we report that AML cells carrying FLT3-ITD mutations are dependent on CDK6 for cell proliferation while CDK4 is ...
