Abstract

Cyclin A, a cell cycle regulatory protein, promotes cell proliferation and has been observed to be highly expressed in cancer and to promote tumor growth; however, its value as a marker for endometrial carcinoma has not yet been established. Accordingly, the aim of the present study was to clarify whether cyclin A can be used as a cell proliferation marker using the endometrial carcinoma cell lines Ishikawa and HEC‑50B, derived from patients with low‑grade and high‑grade cancer, respectively. The expression of cyclin A was determined by flow cytometry using double staining with FITC and 7‑AAD, and immunocytochemical staining. The results were compared to those of Ki‑67, the widely used cell proliferation marker that is considered to be a prognostic marker in endometrial cancer. The flow cytometry results revealed that cyclin A expression was significantly higher in HEC‑50B than in Ishikawa cells during the logarithmic growth phase. In addition, cyclin A expression was consistently higher than Ki‑67 expression in the examined cell lines. Immunocytochemical staining confirmed cyclin A expression in HEC‑50B and Ishikawa cells, demonstrating significantly higher expression during the logarithmic growth phase than during the stationary phase. By contrast, Ki‑67 was expressed in almost 90% of the cells, irrespective of their growth state. These results indicate that cyclin A expression is significantly increased in cells with higher proliferative ability and is specifically expressed in cells that have passed the G1‑S checkpoint. Therefore, cyclin A may be a reliable proliferation biomarker for endometrioid carcinoma.
