Cyclin D1 expression in astrocytomas is associated with cell proliferation activity and patient prognosis
1 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
An important positive regulator of the cell cycle, cyclin D1, is often amplified and overexpressed in malignancies. Cyclin D1 aberrations were analysed in grade II-IV astrocytomas by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), mRNA in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Proliferation activity was determined by Ki-67(MIB-1) immunolabelling and mitotic counting. High cyclin D1 expression was observed in...
