Cyclin D is synthesized during the first stage of cell replication and is believed to help drive the complex, multi-stage process, including interaction
with the retinoblastoma (Rb) protein, whose function is to prevent excessive cell growth by inhibiting cell cycle progression until a cell is ready to divide.
But mutated or dysfunctional Rb is associated

It is known that one of the pathways involved in cutaneous cancer is mediated through CDKN2A which is a gene associated
with melanoma dysregulation through its pro-oncogenic products p16INK4a (
Cyclin - Dependent Kinase Inhibitor P16) and p14ARF (P14 alternate open reading frame)[28].

with PR - positivity (P = 0.047), hence there was 63.3 % of the all malignant cases were PR - positive compared to 36.7 % were PR - negative.

Cyclin D1 in invasive ductal epithelial cells and stroma, while negative stain was seen in the invader cells
with vesicular polymorphic nuclei (Figure 2C).
This result was agreed
with several previous studies who stated that,
Cyclin D1 showed nuclear and cytoplasmic staining and had an extensive range of intensities between different sections [22, 23].
Cyclin D1 was statistically significantly correlated
with ER - positivity (P = 0.012), hence there was 66.3 % of the all malignant cases were ER - positive compared to 33.3 % were ER - negative.
Through interaction
with the cdk /
cyclin complexes, p21waf1 / cip1 modulates their kinase activity, resulting in cell growth arrest (10).

Cyclin D1 IOD in Grade III
with percentage of apoptotic phase.
These finding were exactly in accordance
with Gillet et al., 1996 [24], who stated that,
Cyclin D1 staining did not appear to correlate
with an increased S - phase fraction as judged by flow cytometry.
Our suggestion was supported by the previous study, who stated that patients
with higher
Cyclin D1 expression had longer both overall survival and relapse - free survival [26].
Sections from all cases were subjected to stain
with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) for histopathological examination and immunohistochemical technique for
Cyclin D1 in addition using flow cytometric technique to perform cell cycle analysis.
These findings for scoring expression were agreed
with Gillet et al., 1996 [24], who stated in their study that, moderate / strong staining of
Cyclin D1 had a longer relapse - free survival than patients whose tumors stained weakly or negatively for
Cyclin D1
with a great significant difference (P = 0.007).
Maria Anna Ciemerych began her research
with studies focusing at the cell cycle regulation of mouse oocytes and preimplantation embryos (Ph.D. at the University of Warsaw), then investigated the role of the cell cycle regulators - D - type
cyclins, in mouse development (Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School).
On the other hand, the present study declared that
Cyclin D1 was statistically significant correlated
with ER - positivity (P = 0.012), hence
Cyclin D1 - staining in all malignant cases scored 66.7 % ER - positive versus to 33.3 % ER - negative.

cyclin E in late G1 phase which form active complex
