The role of AHI1 and CDKN1C in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma progression
Abstract:
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is the most common lymphoma of the skin. Recent reports suggest that AHI1 is overexpressed in a subset of CTCL-derived cell lines, where it downregulates the expression of CDKN1C tumor suppressor gene. In the current work, we test the expression of these genes in 60 patients with Mycosis Fungoides and Sezary Syndrome by RT-PCR and correlate our findings with 6 years of clinical follow-up. These findings reveal that AHI1 and CDKN1C exhibit opposite expression patterns, where AHI1 is expressed in poor and intermediate prognosis patients, while CDKN1C is expressed in favourable prognosis patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis documents that downregulation of CDKN1C is associated with poor disease outcome in patients with CTCL, while upregulation of AHI1 shows a weak association with aggressive disease course.

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.
