Background & Objective: Overexpression of cyclin D1 was shown in many tumors. The excessive expression of cyclin D1 is an important cause of many tumors. But there are still some controversies of whether the overexpression of cyclin D1 exists in brain gliomas. This study was to determine the expression level of cyclin D1 in glioma tissues of human brain, and to analyze the relationship of cyclin D1 with the malignancy and prognosis of gliomas.
Methods: The expression levels of cyclin D1 in 84 specimens were determined by SP immunohistochemical assay. The correlation of expression intensity of cyclin D1, positive cell ratio of glioma tissues with the tumors malignancy, and the prognosis of the patients was analyzed.
Results: (1) The average percentages of cyclin D1 positive cells were (9.82+/-9.75)% and (27.45+/-21.03)% in the low grade gliomas and the high grade gliomas, respectively. There was significant difference between two groups (P< 0.01). (2) The cyclin D1 positive ratios were 31.25% (10/32) and 61.53% (32/52) in the low grade gliomas and the high grade gliomas, respectively. There was significant difference between two groups (P< 0.01). (3) The cyclin D1 positive ratios were 76.19% (16/21) and 24.00% (6/25) in recurrence group and non-recurrence group,respectively. There was significant difference between two groups (P< 0.01). (4) The cyclin D1 positive ratios were 66.67% (14/21) and 32.00%(8/25) in dead group and survival group, respectively. There was significant difference between two groups (P< 0.05). In dead group, the cyclin D1 positive ratios were 86.66%(13/15) and 16.66%(1/6) in the high grade gliomas and the low grade gliomas, respectively. There was significant difference between two groups (P< 0.05).
Conclusions: (1) The expression of cyclin D1 increased with the increased grade of glioma. (2) The higher cyclin D1 expressed, the worse prognosis the patients had. (3) The expression of cyclin D1 can act as a biological marker in evaluating malignancy of gliomas and prognosis of patients.

Phosphorylation of substrates by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) is the driving force of cell cycle progression. Several CDK-activating cyclins are involved, yet how they contribute to substrate specificity is still poorly understood. Here, we discover that a positively charged pocket in cyclin B1, which is exclusively conserved within B-type cyclins and binds phosphorylated serine- or threonine-residues, is essential for correct execution of mitosis.

Background: To date, the overall survival (OS) of hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer (ABC) treated with palbociclib has not been reported in Chinese patients. It still remains unclear what kind of patients may benefit in OS from palbociclib treatment and what the optimal sequential antineoplastic regimen is for those progressing on palbociclib. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the OS outcome of ABC patients receiving palbociclib, establish a predictive model to identify the potential candidates who may benefit from palbociclib and explore the ideal subsequent treatment strategy after palbociclib.

The cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 inhibitors are the mainstay of treatment for patients with hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer. The ability of these drugs to improve the outcome of patients both in the metastatic and the early setting has been largely demonstrated. However, resistance, either de novo or acquired, represents a major clinical challenge.
