It has recently become clear that cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) complex regulates the cell cycle by phosphorylating Rb protein, a tumor suppressor protein. It is likely that this complex is a target of various growth factors and anti-growth factors (UV, TGF-beta etc.) in keratinocyte (KC). It has also been suggested that abnormalities in the cell cycle regulating mechanism such as increased activity of cyclin-cdk due to mutation of p53, a tumor suppressor gene, and overexpression of cyclin D may be concerned with carcinogenesis of KC. Thus, recent studies indicate that the cyclin-cdk complex is a common target of proliferation and carcinogenesis in KC.
