Cyclin D1b splice variant promotes αvβ3-mediated adhesion and invasive migration of breast cancer cells.

Cyclin D1b, a splice variant of the cell cycle regulator cyclin D1, holds oncogenic functions in human cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying cyclin D1b function remain poorly understood. Here we introduced wild-type cyclin D1a or cyclin D1b variant into non-metastatic MCF-7 cells.

[Functions of ANAC092 involved in regulation of anther development in Arabidopsis thaliana].

NAC family is a class of transcription factors that have been typically found in plant with various functions. This type of genes plays a key regulatory role in secondary plant growth, cell division, senescence, especially in the hormone and signaling pathways. ANAC092 was reported to function in relation to lateral root development and senescence.

[Magnetic resonance imaging of ovarian carcinosarcoma: correlation to the clinicopathological findings].

Objective: To investigate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of ovarian carcinosarcoma and the diagnostic value of MRI.

Methods: The MRI features of ovarian carcinosarcoma and clinical data of 5 patients with ovarian carcinosarcoma were reviewed. All the lesions were confirmed by surgery and pathological examination.
