Cyclin D1 is one of the frequently overexpressed proteins and one of the commonly amplified genes in breast cancer. This article reviews the roles of cyclin D1 in cell-cycle regulation (normal and abnormal), mammary gland development and carcinogenesis and the relationship to oestrogen in breast tissues. It concludes by presenting the clinical, prognostic and therapeutic implications of our current knowledge of cyclin D1 in breast cancer.

D002453	Cell Cycle	The complex series of phenomena, occurring between the end of one CELL DIVISION and the end of the next, by which cellular material is duplicated and then divided between two daughter cells. The cell cycle includes INTERPHASE, which includes G0 PHASE; G1 PHASE; S PHASE; and G2 PHASE, and CELL DIVISION PHASE.

D004967	Estrogens	Compounds that interact with ESTROGEN RECEPTORS in target tissues to bring about the effects similar to those of ESTRADIOL. Estrogens stimulate the female reproductive organs, and the development of secondary female SEX CHARACTERISTICS. Estrogenic chemicals include natural, synthetic, steroidal, or non-steroidal compounds.

D016213	Cyclins	A large family of regulatory proteins that function as accessory subunits to a variety of CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASES. They generally function as ENZYME ACTIVATORS that drive the CELL CYCLE through transitions between phases. A subset of cyclins may also function as transcriptional regulators.	Cyclin
D042361	Mammary Glands, Human	Glandular tissue in the BREAST of human that is under the influence of hormones such as ESTROGENS; PROGESTINS; and PROLACTIN. In WOMEN, after PARTURITION, the mammary glands secrete milk (MILK, HUMAN) for the nourishment of the young.

D056741	Cyclin D	A cyclin subtype that is specific for CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASE 4 and CYCLIN-DEPENDENT KINASE 6. Unlike most cyclins, cyclin D expression is not cyclical, but rather it is expressed in response to proliferative signals. Cyclin D may therefore play a role in cellular responses to mitogenic signals.	Type D Cyclin,Type D Cyclins,Cyclin, Type D,Cyclins, Type D,D Cyclin, Type,D Cyclins, Type
