1 Ectopic expression of cyclin D1 amplifies a retinoic acid-induced mitochondrial death pathway in breast cancer cells. Tretinoin cyclin D1 Homo sapiens
2 All-trans retinoic acid inhibits growth associated with downregulation of cyclin D1 and can cause low level apoptosis in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer cell lines. Tretinoin cyclin D1 Homo sapiens
3 Constitutive expression of cyclin D1 in estrogen receptor positive MCF-7 and ZR-75 breast cancer cells (MCF-7(cycD1) and ZR-75(cycD1)) Increased the fraction of cells in S phase and reduced the G1 accumulation following retinoic acid treatment compared with control cells. Tretinoin cyclin D1 Homo sapiens
4 Accordingly, coexpression of Bcl-2 and cyclin D1 rendered the cells resistant to retinoic acid-induced apoptosis. Tretinoin cyclin D1 Homo sapiens
5 We conclude that constitutive expression of cyclin D1 sensitizes ER-positive breast cancer cells to a retinoic acid-induced mitochondrial death pathway involving Bax activation, cytochrome c release and caspase-9 cleavage. Tretinoin cyclin D1 Homo sapiens
