Cyclin D1 Levels are Involved in the Resistance to m-TOR Inhibitors in Human Bronchial Carcinoids

#962

Introduction: Bronchial carcinoids (BC) are still orphans of medical therapy. We previously demonstrated that the typical BC human cell line NCI-H727 is sensitive to Everolimus, in terms of cell viability reduction, while the atypical human BC cell line NCI-H720 is not. However, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon have not been fully clarified.

Aim(s): To investigate the mechanisms of resistance to mTOR inhibitors in BC cells.

Materials and methods: Cell cycle protein profiling was performed throughout G0/G1/S phases evaluating important complexes regulated during these transition phases at different cell-cycle times, such as CDK2/Cyclin E, CDK4/CyclinD1 and p27Kip1.
