ABSTRACT
AIMS/BACKGROUND:
The development of colorectal cancer depends on at least two distinct pathways involving genetic instability, namely chromosome instability (CIN) and microsatellite instability. Cyclin E is involved in aneuploidy and several cancer types show an abnormal number of chromosomes.METHODS:
Cyclin E protein and mRNA values were analysed in human fetal skin fibroblasts and five colorectal cancer cell lines.RESULTS:
Cells with an aberrant number of chromosomes had higher cyclin E mRNA values and a significant increase in protein concentrations.CONCLUSIONS:
These data suggest that cyclin E regulation is altered in aneuploid cells and is an important factor in the CIN pathway.
