2003 SEP 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Cyclin E is overexpressed and amplified in many different human tumor types.

According to published research from Switzerland, "Cyclin E amplification and overexpression have recently been described in several tumor types. However, many tumor entities have never been examined for cyclin E alterations.

"Numerous and time-consuming experiments were previously required to determine the significance of potential oncogenes across different tumor types," wrote P. Schraml and colleagues, University of Basel Hospital, Pathology Institute.

"To overcome this problem, tissue microarrays (TMAs) consisting of 3670 primary tumors from 128 different tumor types, 709 metastases, and 354 normal tissues were generated," the researchers wrote.

"Cyclin E alterations were then analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC)," they stated.

"Cyclin E gene amplification was observed in 15 different tumor types and subtypes, i.e., rhabdomyosarcoma, urinary bladder cancer (three subtypes), ovarian cancer (two subtypes), malignant fibrous histiocytoma, adenocarcinoma of the small intestine, medullary breast cancer, gall bladder adenocarcinoma, pheochromocytoma, ...
