Journal ArticleDOI

Cyclin D1 provides a link between development and oncogenesis in the retina and breast

TL;DR: In adult mutant females, the breast epithelial compartment fails to undergo the massive proliferative changes associated with pregnancy despite normal levels of ovarian steroid hormones, suggesting that steroid-induced proliferation of mammary epithelium during pregnancy may be driven through cyclin D1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elastic fiber homeostasis requires lysyl oxidase-like 1 protein.

TL;DR: It is shown that mice lacking the protein lysyl oxidase–like 1 (LOXL1) do not deposit normal elastic fibers in the uterine tract post partum and develop pelvic organ prolapse, enlarged airspaces of the lung, loose skin and vascular abnormalities with concomitant tropoelastin accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intrinsic circadian clock of the mammalian retina: importance for retinal processing of visual information.

TL;DR: It is shown that mice lacking Bmal1, a gene required for clock function, had abnormal retinal transcriptional responses to light and defective inner retinal electrical responses toLight, but normal photoreceptor responses to Light and retinas that appeared structurally normal by light and electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rescue of Cyclin D1 Deficiency by Knockin Cyclin E

TL;DR: This work has generated a mouse strain in which the coding sequences of the cyclin D1 gene have been deleted and replaced by those of human cyclin E (CCNE), and it is suggested thatcyclin E is the major downstream target of cyclinD1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cyclin D1-dependent kinase activity in murine development and mammary tumorigenesis

TL;DR: A differential requirement for cyclin D1-CDK4/6 kinase activity in development versus tumorigenesis is demonstrated and strongly support cyclinD1-dependent Kinase activity as a specific therapeutic target in breast cancer.
