While cyclin D1/CDK4 specifically mediates centrosome amplification triggered by H-RasG12D, H-RasG12D&c-Myc [97], and in HER2+ breast cancer cells [76], silencing of cyclin E or CDK2 have no impact on centrosome amplification in the HER2/Ras systems. The gene discussed is CCND1; the disease is breast carcinoma.
