CDK4 IVS4-nt40 AA genotype and obesity-associated tumors/cancer in Italians – a case-control study

Abstract: Background: Cell cycle checkpoint regulation is crucial for prevention of tumor in mammalian cells. Cyclin-dependant kinase 4 (CDK4) is important in cell cycle regulation, as it controls the G1-S phase of the cell cycle. CDK4 has potential mitogenic properties through phosphorylation of target proteins. We aimed at identifying a role of CDK4 IVS4-nt40 G→A gene variant in benign and/ or malignant tumors and in obesity-associated benign and/or malignant tumors in an Italian adult subject dataset.

“…Finally, in support of a metabolic function of the cyclin D/cdk4 holoenzyme in metabolism is the finding that some specific polymorphisms in the cdk4 gene could contribute to type II diabetes-associated obesity (Meenakshisundaram and Gragnoli, 2009a). Strikingly, the same cdk4 IVS4-nt40 AA genotype is significantly associated with cancer in obese patients (Meenakshisundaram and Gragnoli, 2009b). In summary, cyclin Ds/cdk4 regulates both cell growth and metabolism, thus integrating both processes in cellular function in normal and in transformed cells.…”
