Cyclin D1 genetic heterozygosity regulates colonic epithelial cell differentiation and tumor number in ApcMin mice.

چکیده
Constitutive beta-catenin/Tcf activity, the primary transforming events in colorectal carcinoma, occurs through induction of the Wnt pathway or APC gene mutations that cause familial adenomatous polyposis. Mice carrying Apc mutations in their germ line (ApcMin) develop intestinal adenomas. Here, the crossing of ApcMin with cyclin D1-/- mice reduced the intestinal tumor number in animals genetically heterozygous or nullizygous for cyclin D1. Decreased tumor number in the duodenum, intestines, and colons of ApcMin/cyclin D1+/- mice correlated with reduced cellular proliferation and increased differentiation. Cyclin D1 deficiency reduced DNA synthesis and induced differentiation of colonic epithelial cells harboring mutant APC but not wild-type APC cells in vivo. In previous studies, the complete loss of cyclin D1 through homozygous genetic deletion conveyed breast tumor resistance. The protection of mice, genetically predisposed to intestinal tumorigenesis, through cyclin D1 heterozygosity suggests that modalities that reduce cyclin D1 abundance could provide chemoprotection.

Anti-Tumorigenic Effects of Capsaicin in Colon Cancer
Colon cancer is one of most common malignancies in the world. Capsaicin is a major component of chili peppers and has been shown to possess anti-cancer activity against various types of cancers. There is currently a limited number of preclinical studies that test the anti-cancer effects of capsaicin in colon cancer. The first objective of the present study is to investigate whether capsaicin in...

Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide. The most important considerable features of cancer cells are uncontrolled proliferation, up-regulated differentiation, and immortality. Crocin, as a bioactive compound of saffron and as a water-soluble carotenoid has radical scavenging, anti-hyperlipidemia, memory improving, and inhibition of tumor growth effects. The present review was designe...

Background and Aim: The cell cycle is an important event in tumor growth and differentiation and several molecules are involved in this process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of cyclin D1 (a cell cycle inducer) and p21 (a cell cycle inhibitor) in ameloblastoma of the jaws. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 40 cases of ameloblastoma were selected from t...
متن کاملTumor and Stem Cell Biology Cyclin D1 Activity Regulates Autophagy and Senescence in the Mammary Epithelium
Overexpression of cyclin D1 is believed to endow mammary epithelial cells (MEC) with a proliferative advantage by virtue of its contribution to pRB inactivation. Accordingly, abrogation of the kinase-dependent function of cyclin D1 is sufficient to render mice resistant to breast cancer initiated by ErbB2. Here, we report that mouse cyclin D1 MECs (deficient in cyclin D1 activity) upregulate an...
متن کاملThe absence of LPA receptor 2 reduces the tumorigenesis by ApcMin mutation in the intestine.
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a lipid mediator that mediates several effects that promote cancer progress. The LPA receptor type 2 (LPA(2)) expression is often elevated in several types of cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, we investigated the role of LPA(2) in the development of intestinal adenomas by comparing Apc(Min/+) mice with Apc(Min/+)/Lpar2(-/-) mice. There wer...
