Abstract
p27 is a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor whose specific late G(1) destruction allows progression of the cell across the G(1)/S boundary. The protein is ubiquitinated by S-phase kinase-interacting protein-2 (Skp2) following its specific phosphorylation, and is subsequently degraded by the 26s proteasome. There is a direct relationship between low level of p27 and rapid proliferation occurring in several benign states and in many malignancies. In the glandular cells of the normal endometrium, the level of p27 is exceedingly low during the proliferative phase, whereas it is markedly increased during the secretory phase. The expression of p27 in endometrial carcinoma is very low but has been found to increase following treatment with progesterone. However, estrogen exposure is considered as a major risk factor in developing endometrial cancer. The implications of the high dose of estrogen and progesterone induced during IVF treatment are still unknown. We have examined the expression of p27 and Skp2 as well as of Ki67 proliferation marker by using endometrial extracts and cells from normal endometrium, from ovarian hyperstimulated patients, and from endometrial carcinoma patients. The expression of p27, Skp2 and Ki67 was fo...Continue Reading
