Cyclin-dependent protein kinases CDKs change

Resveratrol exerts antitumor effects partly by arresting the growth of various cancer cells in culture [Kundu and Surh, 2004]. The inhibition of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), a biochemical hallmark of tumor promotion, has been shown to account for the antiproliferative and antitumor effects of resveratrol [Schneider et al., 2000 Ulrich et al., 2007]. Aberrant changes in cell-cycle machinery are considered as the biochemical basis of abnormal proliferation of transformed cells. Major cell-cycle regulatory proteins include various cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk), Cdk inhibitors, and check point kinases (Chkl...
