Published: November 2004

Background & Objective: Many studies showed that high expression of Cyclin E promotes cell proliferation, but contrary data was also reported that cell proliferation didn't decrease with low expression of Cyclin E. In addition, we observed that many tumor cells have strong capability of proliferation with low expression of Cyclins, including Cyclin E. This study was to analyze effect of reduced Cyclin E threshold on proliferation of acute lymphocyte leukemia cell line MOLT-4 to explain the above phenomena.

Methods: We have established the model of decreased Cyclin E threshold in MOLT-4 cells by treating cells with low concentration (5 mmol/L) of caffeine for 2, and 4 h. The positive rates of proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Ki67, and DNA strand break induction by photolysis (SBIP) were analyzed by flow cytometry.

Results: MOLT-4 cells presented sharply decrease of Cyclin E threshold, and increase of positive rates of PCNA, Ki67, and SBIP after treated with caffeine, especially at 2-h point.

Conclusions: Decrease of Cyclin E threshold was accompanied by increase of cell proliferation. MOLT-4 cells may remain high proliferation capability with low level of Cyclin expression.

Introduction: Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 8 (CDK8), a CDK family member, regulates the development of inflammatory processes through transcriptional activation. The involvement of CDK8 in osteoarthritis (OA) progression is not yet understood.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate whether CDK8, through its transcriptional regulatory functions, collaborates with NF-κB in chondrocytes to regulate the transcription of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) genes, thereby exacerbating the inflammatory microenvironment in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA), and to explore the specific mechanisms involved.

Cyclin switch tailors a cell cycle variant to orchestrate multiciliogenesis.

Cell Rep

Meiosis, endoreplication, and asynthetic fissions are variations of the canonical cell cycle where either replication or mitotic divisions are muted. Here, we identify a cell cycle variantconserved across organs and mammals, where both replication and mitosis are muted, and that orchestrates the differentiation of post-mitotic progenitors into multiciliated cells (MCCs). MCC progenitors reactivate most of the cell cycle transcriptional program but replace the temporal expression of cyclins E2 and A2 with non-canonical cyclins O and A1.

Article Synopsis
  • Most patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) can benefit from treatments, but persistent radiculopathy (nerve pain) often remains; this study explores the role of the FOXG1/SATB2 axis in regulating autophagy (cell repair) in these patients.
  • The researchers induced lumbar disc herniation in rats and found that an intervention with FOXG1 improved key indicators of neuron health, reduced inflammation and apoptosis (cell death), and promoted the expression of proteins essential for cell growth.
  • The study concluded that the miR-31a-5p/SATB2 pathway plays a significant role in treating LDH, suggesting that elevating FOXG1 could enhance recovery by supporting

Clinical significance of Cyclin D1 by complete quantification detection in mantle cell lymphoma: positive indicator in prognosis.

Objectives: The positive expression of Cyclin D1 in immunohistochemical (IHC) staining serves as the cornerstone for diagnosing mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). However, existing literature does not conclusively establish whether the expression ratio and staining intensity significantly influence diagnostic outcomes or patient prognosis. In this retrospective study, the correlation between comprehensive Cyclin D1 quantification and the prognosis of MCL patients was studied.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) -mutant astrocytomas with homozygous deletion of cyclin-dependent kinase 2A/B (CDKN2A/B-HomoD) are categorized to grade 4 in the new World Health Organization (WHO) classification. However, the clinical implications of CDKN2A/B-HomoD in oligodendrogliomas remain unclear. This study systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed the literature on molecularly defined oligodendrogliomas (mOlig) to find the frequency and prognostic significance of CDKN2A/B gene alterations.
