Doxorubicin induces cardiomyocyte apoptosis and atrophy through cyclin-dependent kinase 2-mediated activation of forkhead box O1. [PDF]
Recent clinical investigations indicate that anthracycline-based chemotherapies induce early decline in heart mass in cancer patients. Heart mass decline may be caused by a decrease in cardiac cell number because of increased cell death or by a reduction

Identification of High-Affinity Inhibitors of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2 Towards Anticancer Therapy. [PDF]
Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) is an essential protein kinase involved in the cell cycle regulation. The abnormal activity of CDK2 is associated with cancer progression and metastasis.

Background The reliable and robust estimation of ligand binding affinity continues to be a challenge in drug design. Many current methods rely on molecular mechanics (MM) calculations which do not fully explain complex molecular interactions.

Specific Phosphorylation of Nucleophosmin on Thr199 by Cyclin- dependent Kinase 2-Cyclin E and Its Role in Centrosome Duplication [PDF]
The kinase activity of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2)-cyclin E is required for centrosomes to initiate duplication. We have recently found that nucleophosmin (NPM/B23), a phosphoprotein primarily found in nucleolus, associates with unduplicated ...

Caspase 3-mediated Cleavage of p21 Associated with the Cyclin A-Cyclin-dependent Kinase 2 Complex Is a Prerequisite for Apoptosis in SK-HEP-1 Cells [PDF]
Apoptosis of SK-HEP-1 human hepatoma cells induced by treatment with ginsenoside Rh2 (G-Rh2) is associated with rapid and selective activation of cyclin A-associated cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2).

Cyclin E1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 2 are critical for initiation, but not for progression of hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]
Significance The two E-type cyclins E1 and E2 are known to interact with Cdk2 and are thought to trigger cell cycle activity in carcinogenesis. However, the individual contributions of cyclin E1, cyclin E2, and Cdk2 for initiation and progression of ...

ASSOCIATION OF RS2069502 CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASE 4 GENE WITH BREAST CANCER [PDF]
The goal of this project was to evaluate the association of candidate genetic variant rs2069502 of the CDK4 gene with breast cancer and the effect of variant genotypes on the serum concentration of CDK4 enzyme and consequently, on the occurrence of ...
