CDKN1A

A gene on chromosome 6p21.2 that encodes a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, which binds to and inhibits the activity of cyclin-CDK2 or -CDK4 complexes, thus acting as a regulator of cell cycle progression at G1. CDKN1A expression is controlled by p53, a tumour suppressor that mediates p53-dependent cell cycle G1-phase arrest in response to various stress stimuli. CDKN1A is specifically cleaved by CASP3-like caspases, activating CDK2 and possibly also the apoptosis pathway.

MOLECULAR EXPRESSION OF CYCLIN DEPENDENT KINASE INHIBITOR (p21) IN CANINE TUMORS

The mutations of 4 genes, including FGFR3, E74-like ETS transcription factor 3 (ELF3), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKN1A), and TSC complex subunit 1 (TSC1), were enriched in luminal tumors, while the basal tumors were enriched for the mutations of TP53, RB1, and nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 (NFE2L2) genes.

Bladder Cancer in the Genomic Era

Rather than traditional SNPs involved in pro-oncogenic or tumor suppressive activities, such as MYC or CDKN1A in colorectal cancer [68, 69], GCT SNPs may cause slight perturbations in PGC development that lead to differentiation failure, mismigration, or aberrant proliferation.

Interestingly, Layman reported that systemic SAHA administration offers almost complete protection against hair cell loss from acute ototoxic insult (a side effect of cisplatin) via the increased expression of prosurvival genes Cdkn1a (p21) and Hspa1a (Hsp70) and decreased expression of the proapoptosis gene Bcl2l11 (Bim) [19].

The mechanism underlying 1,25[(OH).sub.2][D.sub.3] induced G0/G1 phase growth arrest involves up-regulation of molecules like cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors such as [p21.sup.WAF1/CIP1] (CDKN1A) and [p27.sup.KIP1] (CDKN1B) (Verlinden et al., 1998; Katayama et al., 2003), as well as transforming growth factor [beta], TGF[beta] (which can inhibit the proliferation of epithelial cells), TGF[beta] receptors and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), which regulates the availability of insulin-like growth factor (IGF), an important mitogen for normal mammary epithelial and breast cancer cells (Swami et al., 2003).
