Figure 6

Schematic illustration of the regulatory proteins in the cell cycle phases. The cell cycle is illustrated (outer blue circle) schematically through its various phases--G1/S, G2/M. (G1 = growth phase 1; S = synthesis; G2 = growth phase 2; M = mitosis). The proteins studied are color coded to the most prominent phase of their action in the cell cycle: Cyclin D1 is green, G1. p21, p27, p57 are orange, S/G2. p16 is violet, G1. Ki67 (coral) and PCNA (brown) all phases. P53 is black, checkpoint G2/M. The insert are two photomicrographs of the immunohistochemical expression of p27 and p16 in the malignant breast cancer cells at a medium magnification ×150.
