[Study on the correlation between the cyclin D1 and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma]
1Department of ENT, Renji Hospital, Shanghai Medical University, Shanghai 200001.
Objective:
To study the correlation between the expression level of Cyclin D1 and the laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC).
Method:
35 LSCC cases testified pathologically were included in the study. The samples obtained from each tumor tissue and adjacent normal mucosa were detected to see the expression level of Cyclin D1 with the method of RT-PCR and light density half quantive analysis.
Result:
The expression level of Cyclin D1 was significant higher in almost all turmor tissues than in the adjacent normal mucosae (P < 0.05). Overexpressed carcinomas were more frequently associated with lymph node metastases (P < 0.05). A significant association between the expression level of Cyclin D1 and TNM was found. The higher T stage, the higher the expression level of Cyclin D1 (P < 0.01). The expression level of low histological grade carcinomas was lower than that of the high histological grade carcinomas, but the difference had no statistical significance. No association between overexpression of Cyclin D1 and sex, age was found too.
Conclusion:
The result indicates that the expression level of Cyclin D1 in LSCC may be a useful marker of prognostic significance and it provide a molecular biology basis for treating the LSCC patients.

M-Cdk Drives Transition Into Mitosis
Cyclin-dependent kinases, or Cdks, work in concert with cyclins to control cell cycle transitions. M-Cdk, a complex of Cdk1 bound to M cyclin, is a well-known example of this coordinated control that drives the transition from the G2 to the M phase.
