Figure 1 Model of the Function of CDK6 as Regulator of Cell Cycle and Angiogenesis The regulation of cell cycle and proliferation by CDK6 depends on the functionality of the p16INK4a protein. CDK6 overexpression can either cause cell cycle arrest in a cell with functional p16INK4a by activating p16INK4a transcription in a kinase-independent manner (left) or promote cell cycle progression if p16INK4a function is lost (right). In addition to regulating cell cycle, CDK6 also induces angiogenesis by activating the transcription of VEGF-A, a known angiogenic factor, in a kinase-independent manner.
