Effect of Insulin on Cell Cycle Progression in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells: DIRECT AND POTENTIATING INFLUENCE *

TLDR
The ability of insulin to increase the cellular amounts of geranylgeranylated Rho-A results in potentiation of the LPA effect on cyclin E expression and degradation of p27Kip1 and cell cycle progression in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

Obesity, adipocytokines, and insulin resistance in breast cancer.

TL;DR: Obesity-related increases in adipocytokine production and a reduction in adiponectin may adversely affect breast cancer outcome by their angiogenesis‐related activities, which may provide a biological mechanism by which obesity and insulin resistance are causally associated with breast cancer risk and poor prognosis.

Associations of Insulin Resistance and Adiponectin With Mortality in Women With Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Elevated HOMA scores and low levels of adiponectin, both associated with obesity, were associated with increased breast cancer mortality in breast cancer survivors.

CDK inhibitors: positive and negative regulators of G1-phase progression

TL;DR: This work challenges previous assumptions about how the G1/S transition of the mammalian cell cycle is governed, helps explain some enigmatic features of cell cycle control that also involve the functions of the retinoblastoma protein (Rb) and the INK4 proteins, and changes the thinking about how either p16 loss or overexpression of cyclin D-dependent kinases contribute to cancer.

Rapid flow cytofluorometric analysis of mammalian cell cycle by propidium iodide staining.

TL;DR: A rapid method for the flow microfluorometric determination of the DNA content per cell is described, which requires a minimal amount of material, and avoids formation of cell clumps.

All ras proteins are polyisoprenylated but only some are palmitoylated

TL;DR: It is shown that all ras proteins are polyisoprenylated on their C-terminal cysteine (Cys186) and palmitoylation increases the avidity of this binding and enhances their transforming activity.

Acceleration of the G1/S phase transition by expression of cyclins D1 and E with an inducible system.

TL;DR: Results suggest that cyclins D1 and E are rate-limiting activators of the G1-to-S phase transition and that cyclin D1 might play a specialized role in facilitating emergence from quiescence.
