And Function

The central involvement of estrogen in the development of the mammary gland and in the genesis of breast cancer has lent impetus to studies of the links between estrogen action and the cell cycle machinery. Recent studies of the estrogenic regulation of molecules with known roles in the control of G1/S phase progression have resulted in significant advances in understanding these links. Estrogens independently regulate the expression and function of c-Myc and cyclin D1 and the induction of either c-Myc or cyclin D1 is sufficient to recapitulate the effects of estrogen on cell cycle progression. These pathways converge at the activation of cyclin E-Cdk2 complexes. The active cyclin E-Cdk2 complexes are depleted of the cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p21(WAF1/CIP1) because of estrogen-mediated inhibition of nascent p21(WAF1/CIP1). Insulin and estrogen synergistically stimulate cell cycle progression, and the ability of estrogen to antagonize an insulin-induced increase in p21(WAF1/CIP1) gene expression appears to underlie this effect. Antiestrogen treatment of MCF-7 cells leads to an acute decrease of c-Myc expression, a subsequent decline in cyclin D1, and ultimately arrest of cells in a state with features characteristic of quiescence. An antisense-mediated decrease in c-Myc expression results in decreased cyclin D1 expression and inhibition of DNA synthesis, mimicking the effects of antiestrogen treatment and emphasizing the importance of c-Myc as an estrogen/antiestrogen target. These data identify c-Myc, cyclin D1, p21(WAF1/CIP1) and cyclin E-Cdk2 as central components of estrogen regulation of cell cycle progression and hence as potential downstream targets that contribute to the role of estrogen in oncogenesis.

Late Stages

Pituitary Tumor Transforming Gene (PTTG) of human is known as a checkpoint gene in the middle and late stages of mitosis, and is also a proto-oncogene that promotes cell cycle progression. In the nucleus, PTTG works as securin in controlling the mid-term segregation of sister chromatids. Overexpression of PTTG, entering the nucleus with the help of PBF in pituitary adenomas, participates in the regulation of cell cycle, interferes with DNA repair, induces genetic instability, transactivates FGF-2 and VEGF and promotes angiogenesis and tumor invasion. Simultaneously, overexpression of PTTG induces tumor cell senescence through the DNA damage pathway, making pituitary adenoma possessing the potential self-limiting ability. To elucidate the mechanism of PTTG in the regulation of pituitary adenomas, we focus on both the positive and negative function of PTTG and find out key factors interacted with PTTG in pituitary adenomas. Furthermore, we discuss other possible mechanisms correlate with PTTG in pituitary adenoma initiation and development and the potential value of PTTG in clinical treatment.

Abstract The last decade has revealed new roles for Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRLs) in a myriad of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression. In addition to CRL1, also named SCF (SKP1-Cullin 1-F box protein), which has been known for decades as an important factor in the regulation of the cell cycle, it is now evident that all eight CRL family members are involved in the intricate cellular pathways driving cell cycle progression. In this review, we summarize the structure of CRLs and their functions in driving the cell cycle. We focus on how CRLs target key proteins for degradation or otherwise alter their functions to control the progression over the various cell cycle phases leading to cell division. We also summarize how CRLs and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) ligase complex closely cooperate to govern efficient cell cycle progression.
