Cyclin D1 overexpression is significant in thyroid tumors.

2004 JUN 14 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Cyclin D1 overexpression is significant in thyroid tumors.

According to recent research published in the Journal of Pathology, "Cyclin D1 is a target molecule transcriptionally activated by aberrant beta-catenin in Wnt signalling, while prolyl isomerase Pin1 promotes cyclin D1 overexpression directly or through accumulation of beta-catenin in cancer cells. This study aimed to elucidate whether Pin1 was involved in cyclin D1 overexpression and aberrant beta-catenin in thyroid tumorigenesis by examining 14 follicular adenomas (FAa) and 14 papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs)."

"All PTCs displayed cyclin D1 …
