ABSTRACT LMP1 induces the phenotypic transformation of fibroblasts and affects regulators of the cell cycle during this process. LMP1 decreases expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27 and increases the levels and phosphorylation of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 and the retinoblastoma protein. In the present study, the effects of LMP1 on cell cycle progression and the mechanism of p27 downregulation by LMP1 were determined. Although p27 is frequently regulated at the posttranscriptional level during cell cycle progression and in cancer, LMP1 did not decrease ectopically expressed p27. However, LMP1 did decrease p27 RNA levels and inhibited the activity of p27 promoter reporters. The LMP1-regulated promoter element was mapped to a region containing two E2F sites. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays determined that the regulated cis element bound an inhibitory E2F complex containing E2F4 and p130. These findings indicate that LMP1 decreases p27 transcription through effects on E2F family transcription factors. This property likely contributes to the ability of LMP1 to stimulate cell cycle progression.

Growth factor controlled activity of forkhead box O transcription factors results in altered gene expression, including expression of CTDSP2 (C-terminal domain small phosphatase 2). CTDSP2 can regulate cell cycle progression through Ras and the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21Cip1/Waf1.

Alsterpaullone, a small molecule cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor, regulates the cell cycle progression. Beyond death-inducing properties, we identified the effect of alsterpaullone on cycle procedure and apoptosis of HeLa cell. It was found that alsterpaullone inhibited HeLa cells in a time-dependent (0–72 h) and dose-dependent (0–30 μM) manner. In the presence of alsterpaullone, HeLa cells were arrested in G2/M prior to undergoing apoptosis via a mechanism that is involved in the regulation of various antiapoptotic genes, DNA-repair, transcription, and cell cycle progression. Compared to controls, alsterpaullone effectively prevented HeLa cells from entering S-phase. These potential therapeutic efficacies could be correlated with the activation of caspase-3.

ABSTRACT Cytoxicity induced by the herpesvirus thymidine kinase (TK) gene in combination with prodrugs is dependent on cell growth and leads to the elimination of genetically modified cells, thus limiting the duration of expression and efficacy of this treatment in vivo. Here, an effort was made to enhance TK/prodrug efficacy by coexpression of a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CKI), p27, to render cells resistant to TK/prodrug by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Expression of p27 by transfection substantially reduced cell cycle progression, and its activity was enhanced by mutations designed to stabilize the protein. Coexpression of p27 and TK or a p27/TK fusion protein led to greater prodrug cytotoxicity than that produced by TK alone in the Renca cell line, which is sensitive to bystander killing. Combination gene transfer of this CKI with TK therefore sustained the synthesis of TK by genetically modified cells to enhance the susceptibility of bystander cells to prodrug cytotoxicity and increased the efficacy of this gene transfer approach.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Compelling evidence indicates that CK2α, which is one of the two catalytic isoforms of protein kinase CK2, is required for cell viability and plays an important role in cell proliferation and differentiation. While much is known on CK2 in the context of disease states, particularly cancer, its critical role in non-cancerous cell growth has not been extensively investigated. METHODS: In the present study, we have employed a cell line derived from rat heart with inducible down-regulation of CK2α and CK2α-knockout mouse tissue to identify CK2-mediated molecular mechanisms regulating cell growth. For this, we have performed Incucyte® live-cell analysis and applied flow cytometry, western blot, immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, RT-qPCR and luciferase-based methods. RESULTS: Here, we show that lack of CK2α results in significantly delayed cell cycle progression through G1, inhibition of cyclin E-CDK2 complex, decreased phosphorylation of Rb protein at S795, and inactivation of E2F transcription factor. These events are accompanied by nuclear accumulation and up-regulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27KIP1 in cells and CK2α-knockout mouse tissues. We found that increased levels of p27KIP1 are mainly attributable to post-translational modifications, namely phosphorylation at S10 and T197 amino acid residues catalyzed by Dyrk1B and AMPK, respectively, as silencing of FoxO3A transcription factor, which activates CDKN1B the gene coding for p27KIP1, does not result in markedly decreased expression levels of the corresponding protein. Interestingly, simultaneous silencing of CK2α and p27KIP1 significantly impairs cell cycle progression without increasing cell death. CONCLUSION: Taken together, our study sheds light on the molecular mechanisms controlling cell cycle progression through G1 phase when myoblasts proliferation potential is impaired by CK2α depletion. Our results suggest that elevated levels of p27KIP1,which follows CK2α depletion, contribute to delay the G1-to-S phase transition. Effects seen when p27KIP1 is down-regulated are independent of CK2α and reflect the protective role exerted by p27KIP1 under unfavorable cell growth conditions.
