The pleiotropic nature of the clinical phenotypes of patients with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) – which encompass cerebellar degeneration (leading to ataxia), gonadal atrophy, and cancer predisposition – suggests multiple functions of the gene responsible for the disease. The ataxia-telangiectasia mutated gene product (ATM), whose loss of function is responsible for ataxia-telangiectasia, is a protein kinase that interacts with several substrates and is implicated in mitogenic signal transduction, chromosome condensation, meiotic recombination, cell-cycle control and telomere maintenance. This review focuses on the critical roles that ATM appears to play in cell-cycle checkpoints, DNA repair, telomere metabolism and oxidative stress, indicating how defects in these processes might lead to ataxia-telangiectasia.

In vitro cultured mammalian cells respond to mild hypothermia (27–33 °C) by attenuating cellular processes and slowing and arresting the cell cycle. The slowing of the cell cycle at the upper range (31–33 °C) and its complete arrest at the lower range (27–28 °C) of mild hypothermia is effected by the activation of p53 and subsequent expression of p21. However, the mechanism by which cold is perceived in mammalian cells with the subsequent activation of p53 has remained undetermined. In the present paper, we report that the exposure of Chinese-hamster ovary-K1 cells to mildly hypothermic conditions activates the ATR (ataxia telangiectasia mutated- and Rad3-related kinase)–p53–p21 signalling pathway and is thus a key pathway involved in p53 activation upon mild hypothermia. In addition, we show that although p38MAPK (p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase) is also involved in activation of p53 upon mild hypothermia, this is probably the result of activation of p38MAPK by ATR. Furthermore, we show that cold-induced changes in cell membrane lipid composition are correlated with the activation of the ATR–p53–p21 pathway. Therefore we provide the first mechanistic detail of cell sensing and signalling upon mild hypothermia in mammalian cells leading to p53 and p21 activation, which is known to lead to cell cycle arrest.
