Cyclin D1 Expression in Dysplastic Nevi
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We previously surveyed cyclin D1 expression in common acquired nevi, Spitz nevi, and malignant melanomas and reported that benign nevi maintain a zonal pattern of cyclin D1 expression, in contrast with malignant melanomas. Our aim was to extend those observations by examining cyclin D1 expression in dysplastic nevi. METHODS: Cyclin D1 overexpression in 23 dysplastic nevi was detected by an immunohistochemical technique. The extent of atypia of the nevi was graded as mild, moderate, or severe, using previously established criteria. RESULTS: Cyclin D1 overexpression in dysplastic nevi maintained a zonal pattern, similar to Spitz nevi. Cyclin D1 overexpression was greatest in the region of the epidermal-dermal junction and was significantly less prominent in the papillary and reticular dermis, suggesting that cyclin D1 expression is under cell control and correlates with maturation of nevus cells. Cyclin D1 overexpression also correlated with cytologic atypia, as dysplastic nevi with moderate or severe cytologic atypia contained a greater percentage of cyclin D1-positive cells than did nevi with mild atypia. Six dysplastic nevi with many cyclin D1--positive cells were assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization studies using cyclin D1--specific and chromosome 11 centromeric probes. In all cases, there was no evidence of 11q13 translocation, amplification, or trisomy of chromosome 11. CONCLUSIONS: Cyclin D1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of dysplastic nevi. Cyclin D1 overexpression does not appear to be explained by cyclin D1 locus amplification or translocation in most cases, and it may be a result of other cell abnormalities that up-regulate the protein level of cyclin D1.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
