A new approach to the modular, complex systems analysis of nonlinear dynamics in cell cycling network transformations involved in carcinogenesis is proposed. Carcinogenesis is a complex process that involves dynamically inter-connected biomolecules in the intercellular, membrane, cytosolic, nuclear and nucleolar compartments that form numerous inter-related pathways. One such family of pathways contains the cell cyclins. Cyclins are proteins that link several critical pro-apoptotic and other cell cycling/division components, including the tumor suppressor gene TP53 and its product, the Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen (T antigen), Rb, mdm2, c-Myc, p21, p27, Bax, Bad and Bcl-2, which all play major roles in neoplastic transformation of many tissues. This novel theoretical analysis based on recently published studies of cyclin signaling, with special emphasis placed on the roles of cyclins D1 and E, suggests novel clinical trials and rational therapies of cancer through reestablishment of cell cycling inhibition in metastatic cancer cells.
