Popis: BackgroundCDC27 is one of the core components of Anaphase Promoting complex/cyclosome. The main role of this protein is defined at cellular division to control cell cycle transitions. Here we review the molecular aspects that may affect CDC27 regulation from cell cycle and mitosis to cancer pathogenesis and prognosis.Main textIt has been suggested that CDC27 may play either like a tumor suppressor gene or oncogene in different neoplasms. Divergent variations inCDC27DNA sequence and alterations in transcription ofCDC27have been detected in different solid tumors and hematological malignancies. ElevatedCDC27expression level may increase cell proliferation, invasiveness and metastasis in some malignancies. It has been proposed thatCDC27upregulation may increase stemness in cancer stem cells. On the other hand, downregulation ofCDC27may increase the cancer cell survival, decrease radiosensitivity and increase chemoresistancy. In addition,CDC27downregulation may stimulate efferocytosis and improve tumor microenvironment.ConclusionCDC27 dysregulation, either increased or decreased activity, may aggravate neoplasms. CDC27 may be suggested as a prognostic biomarker in different malignancies.
