Abstract
Changes in cell cycle regulation are involved in many human cancers, including gastric cancer. In the present study, cyclin D1 expression and localization were immunohistochemically analyzed in 23 N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine-induced rat gastric adenocarcinomas and compared with findings for β-catenin. Cyclin D1 nuclear overexpression was more frequently observed in tumors displaying nuclear (4/4=100%) and cytoplasmic (3/4=75%) β-catenin accumulation than those with membranous (3/15=20%) localization (nuclear vs. membranous, P<0.02). In the former cases it was considered that cyclin D1 was induced with β-catenin activation; in the latter, a direct or indirect pathway for cyclin D1 accumulation bypassing Wnt pathway might be involved. Cyclin D1 was also found to be accumulated in gastric glands within normal-looking mucosa, these perhaps representing preneoplastic lesions for cancers with membranous β-catenin accumulation.
