Abstract

During recent years, there has been an extensive research focus in the area of cell-cycle control in eukaryotes and the relationship that exists between cell proliferation and cancer. The eukaryotic cell-cycle is governed by signal transduction pathways mediated by complexes of cyclin dependent kinases (CDK) and their partner cyclin proteins. This study was performed to identify differences in cell-cycle control protein expression following physical and chemical stimuli of hepatic cell growth. Protein levels of cell cycle mediators, cyclin dependent kinases (CDK 1,2,4,5), cyclin proteins (A,B,D1-D3 and E), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), tumor suppressor proteins (p53 and Rb), and CDK inhibitory proteins (p16Ink4, p21Waf1 and p27Kip1) were examined in F344 rats following 70% partial hepatectomy or a single dose of WY14,643 over 96- and 48-h time courses, respectively. CDK1 (p34cdc2) and PCNA protein concentrations, quantified by ELISA, were significantly increased beginning at the 24-h time point and maximal at 48 h (6.9- and 3.7-fold for partial hepatectomy and 4.2- and 3.3-fold for WY14,643, respectively). Differential effects were observed with the G1 cell-cycle mediators CDK4, CDK5, and cyclin D3, p21Waf1 and p27...Continue Reading

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
