Overexpression and constitutive activation of CYCLIN D1 and Casein Kinase 2 are common features of many hematologic malignancies, including mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and leukemias such as T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).
Our findings suggest that heritable CCND1 status may influence the risk of developing leukemia and HCC, and that more attention should be given to carriers of these susceptibility genes.
Its association with the overexpression of cyclin D1 in hairy cell leukemia suggests that sox11 may be involved in the upregulation of cyclin D1 in this leukemia.
Complex rearrangements involving der(8)t(8;20) and der(14)t(8;14)t(11;14), CCND1, and duplication of IgH constant region in acute plasmablastic leukemia.
These cases illustrate the importance of tissue diagnosis with cyclin D1 staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis in B-cell leukaemia with prolymphocytic features.
Abnormalities in G1/S transition in cell cultures have been attributed to alterations in ErbB (erythroblastic leukaemia viral [v-erb-b] oncogene homologue, avian) signalling, cyclin D1 overexpression or disturbance of the p21(WAF1) (p21)-mediated cell cycle arrest induced by p53.
Northern blot analysis showed that BCL-1 was overexpressed in 14 of 15 ILL and in all leukemias analyzed (included the t(11;19) leukemia) relative to normal and malignant lymphoid tissues.
We show that a highly aggressive subclone of murine BCL-1 B-lineage leukemia expresses a single 2.4-kb transcript hybridizing to the human CD19 cDNA probe and reacts strongly with the anti-human CD19 monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) B43, B4, Leu-12, and J3-119.
