CCND1 plays a key role in cell cycle progression and may cause methotrexate (MTX) resistance, as well as its cytotoxicity. CCND1 870A variant allele is associated with altered transcripts of this gene. We hypothesized that this polymorphism may contribute to the elimination rate and hepatotoxicity of MTX in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We genotyped the CCND1 G870A polymorphism in 125 childhood ALL patients treated with HDMTX. We found no notable associations between G870A polymorphism and the risk of delayed MTX elimination. However, this polymorphism was significantly associated with an increased risk of MTX hepatotoxicity [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 4.44, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.35-14.63 for AG versus GG and adjusted OR = 6.39, 95% CI = 1.82-22.43 for AA versus GG]. Our results indicated that the CCND1 G870A polymorphism may be involved in the hepatotoxicity of MTX and act as a biological marker.

Cyclin D1 (CCND1), a crucial mediator of cell cycle progression, possesses many mutation types with different mutation frequencies in human cancers. The G870A mutation is the most common mutation in CCND1, which produces two isoforms: full-length CCND1a and divergent C-terminal CCND1b. The dysregulation of the CCND1 isoforms is associated with multiple human cancers.

Cyclin D1 (CCND1), a mediator of cell cycle control, has a G870A polymorphism which results in the formation of two splicing variants: full-length CCND1 (CCND1a) and C-terminally truncated CCND1 species (CCND1b). However, the role of CCND1a and CCND1b variants in cancer chemoresistance remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of alternative splicing of CCND1 in breast cancer (BC) chemoresistance.

CCND1 gene encodes Cyclin D1 protein, the alternations and overexpression of which are commonly observed in human cancers. Cyclin D1 controls G1-S transition in the cell cycle. The aim of the study was to assess utility of the genotyping and protein expression in predicting the susceptibility of transformation from normal tissue to precancerous laryngeal lesions (PLLs) and finally to laryngeal cancer (LC).

Background: Cyclin D1 (CCND1) regulates cell cycle progression during the late G1 and S phase and takes part in methotrexate metabolism. It was hypothesized that CCND1 gene polymorphism affects acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) development, prognosis and may relate to methotrexate cytotoxicity.

Subjects And Methods: This study included 50 ALL patients and 50 healthy controls, CCND1 G870A polymorphism was studied in all items using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and evaluated methotrexate cytotoxicity for ALL patients using liver function tests before and after methotrexate treatment.
