Cell Cycle Regulators and Mechanisms of Growth Control Evasion in Lung Cancer

  • Chapter
Clinical and Biological Basis of Lung Cancer Prevention

Abstract

The last several years have seen an explosion in our understanding of the components and mechanisms involved in regulation of the eukaryotic cell cycle. The explosion began with the discovery of cyclins and the identification of Xenopus maturation promoting factor as a complex of cyclin B and a cdc2-related protein kinase [1]. Since then cyclins and the cyclindependent kinases (CDKs) have been identified as the key mediators of cell cycle progression, and the cast of known players has expanded to include cyclins A, B1, B2, C, D1-3, E, F, G, H, and I and CDKs 1–7, as well as inhibitors and mediators of CDK activity [2-5].
