Cyclins and proto-oncogenes including c-myc have been implicated in eukaryotic cell cycle control. The role of cyclins in steroidal regulation of cell proliferation is unknown, but a role for c-myc has been suggested. This study investigated the relationship between regulation of T-47D breast cancer cell cycle progression, particularly by steroids and their antagonists, and changes in the levels of expression of these genes. Sequential induction of cyclins D1 (early G1 phase), D3, E, A (late G1-early S phase), and B1 (G2 phase) was observed following insulin stimulation of cell cycle progression in serum-free medium. Transient acceleration of G1-phase cells by progestin was also accompanied by rapid induction of cyclin D1, apparent within 2 h. This early induction of cyclin D1 and the ability of delayed administration of antiprogestin to antagonize progestin-induced increases in both cyclin D1 mRNA and the proportion of cells in S phase support a central role for cyclin D1 in mediating the mitogenic response in T-47D cells. Compatible with this hypothesis, antiestrogen treatment reduced the expression of cyclin D1 approximately 8 h before changes in cell cycle phase distribution accompanying growth inhibition. In the absence of progestin, antiprogestin treatment inhibited T-47D cell cycle progression but in contrast did not decrease cyclin D1 expression. Thus, changes in cyclin D1 gene expression are often, but not invariably, associated with changes in the rate of T-47D breast cancer cell cycle progression. However, both antiestrogen and antiprogestin depleted c-myc mRNA by > 80% within 2 h. These data suggest the involvement of both cyclin D1 and c-myc in the steroidal control of breast cancer cell cycle progression.

We have previously reported that the hEAG K+ channels are responsible for the potential membrane hyperpolarization that induces human breast cancer cell progression into the G1 phase of the cell cycle. In the present study, we evaluate the role and functional expression of the intermediate-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel, hIK1-like, in controlling cell cycle progression. Our results demonstrate that hIK1 current density increased in cells synchronized at the end of the G1 or S phase compared with those in the early G1 phase. This increased current density paralleled the enhancement in hIK1 mRNA levels and the highly negative membrane potential. Furthermore, in cells synchronized at the end of G1 or S phases, basal cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was also higher than in cells arrested in early G1. Blocking hIK1 channels with a specific blocker, clotrimazole, induced both membrane potential depolarization and a decrease in the [Ca2+]i in cells arrested at the end of G1 and S phases but not in cells arrested early in the G1 phase. Blocking hIK1 with clotrimazole also induced cell proliferation inhibition but to a lesser degree than blocking hEAG with astemizole. The two drugs were essentially additive, inhibiting MCF-7 cell proliferation by 82% and arresting >90% of cells in the G1 phase. Thus, although the progression of MCF-7 cells through the early G1 phase is dependent on the activation of hEAG K+ channels, when it comes to G1 and checkpoint G1/S transition, the membrane potential appears to be primarily dependent on the hIK1-activity level.

Warburgia ugandensis Sprague (WU) is a traditional medicinal plant used for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer, in Africa. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) activities of WU against A549 cells and to reveal potential molecular mechanisms. The cytotoxicity of various WU extracts was evaluated with HeLa (cervical cancer), HepG2 (liver cancer), HT-29 (colorectal cancer), and A549 (non-small cell lung cancer) cells by means of Sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. Therein, the dimethyl carbonate extract of WU (WUD) was tested with the most potent anti-proliferative activity against the four cancer cell lines, and its effects on cell viability, cell cycle progression, DNA damage, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), and expression levels of G0/G1-related proteins in A549 cells were further examined. First, it was found that WUD inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. In addition, WUD induced G0/G1 phase arrest and modulated the expression of G0/G1 phase-associated proteins Cyclin D1, Cyclin E1, and P27 in A549 cells. Furthermore, WUD increased the protein abundance of P27 by inhibiting FOXO3A/SKP2 axis-mediated protein degradation and also significantly induced the γH2AX expression and intracellular ROS generation of A549 cells. It was also found that the inhibitory effect of WUD on the proliferation and G0/G1 cell cycle progression of A549 cells could be attenuated by NAC, a ROS scavenger. On the other hand, phytochemical analysis of WUD with UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS indicated 10 sesquiterpenoid compounds. In conclusion, WUD exhibited remarkable anti-proliferative effects on A549 cells by improving the intracellular ROS level and by subsequently modulating the cell proliferation and G0/G1 cell cycle progression of A549 cells. These findings proved the good therapeutic potential of WU for the treatment of NSCLC.

Cyclin Dependent Kinases

Cell cycle progression in mammalian cells is strictly regulated by both integrin-mediated adhesion to the extracellular matrix and by binding of growth factors to their receptors. This regulation is mediated by G1 phase cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which are downstream of signaling pathways under the integrated control of both integrins and growth factor receptors. Recent advances demonstrate a surprisingly diverse array of integrin-dependent signals that are channeled into the regulation of the G1 phase CDKs. Regulation of cyclin D1 by the ERK pathway may provide a paradigm for understanding how cell adhesion can determine cell cycle progression.

Abstract Abstract 1447 Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) has been ascribed properties of both tumor suppressor and enhancer of cell proliferation. In solid tumors the important role of IGFBP7 as a tumor suppressor was revealed in several studies. In acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), high IGFBP7 expression is associated with a more immature phenotype of early T-ALL, inferior survival, and predicts primary chemotherapy resistance. In a separate study, IGFBP7 acts as a positive regulator of ALL and bone marrow stromal cells growth, and significantly enhances in-vitro resistance to asparaginase. Higher IGFBP7 mRNA levels were associated with lower leukemia-free survival (P=0.003) in precursor B-cell Ph negative ALL patients (n=147) treated with a contemporary polychemotherapy protocol. In acute myeloid leukemia, the role of IGFBP7 is largely unknown. In our previous published study [Hu et al, 2011], we demonstrated that IGFBP7 overexpressed in majority of childhood AML (n=66) at diagnosis and upon relapsed, but not at remission stage. We now further explore its mechanism in promoting AML cells proliferation. Compared with control, transfection of full length IGFBP7 in K562 cells [V-BP7] resulted in 23% increased of proliferation in 48 hours. Cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry showed decreased G0/G1 phase and increased S phase in V-BP7 comparing with control, suggesting enhanced cell cycle progression. While transfection of IGFPB7 siRNA produced an opposite effect of reducing the cell growth in K562 cells. In consistent with the nature of a secretory protein, the extracellular IGFBP7 level in the condition media from v-BP7 was significantly higher than that from vector control or parental K562 cells measured by ELISA. Incubation parental K562 cells in V-BP7 derived conditioned medium resulted in significant growth enhancement. Gene expression profiling (GEP) was performed on V-BP7 in contrast to parental K562 cells. Genes which were up-regulated or down-regulated more than 2 folds were regarded as significant difference. Among 10 verified genes, AKT3 showed the highest extent of up-regulation and IGFBP7 siRNA transfection reduced its expression. Cyclin D1 (CCND1) expression was also significantly up-regulated and validated by RT-PCR and Western blot. V-BP7 treated with an AKT inhibitor (Triciribine) at 2.5μM for 72 hours showed 50% reduction of cell viability. The cell cycle analysis indicated that triciribine reversed cell cycle progression in V-BP7, by increasing cells in G0/G1 phase and reducing cells in S phase. Western blot demonstrated that both phospho-AKT3 and CCND1 were down regulated after treatment with triciribine. Using real time RT-PCR, we further identified that IGFBP7 and AKT3 expression were significantly correlated (p=0.001; r=0.255) in 39 newly diagnosed childhood AML. Conclusions IGFBP7 aberrantly overexpressed in majority of childhood AML. IGFBP7 promotes proliferation of K562 cells and AML via overexpression/activation of AKT3 and CCND1.

Experiments were conducted to test whether oestradiol (E2) protects granulosa cells from Fas ligand (FasL)-induced apoptosis and whether protection involves modulation of the cell cycle of proliferation. Treatment of cultured bovine granulosa cells with E2 decreased susceptibility to FasL-induced apoptosis. The effects of E2 were mediated through oestrogen receptor and were not mediated by stimulation of IGF production. E2 also increased the percentage of cells progressing from G1 to S phase of the cell cycle, and increased expression of cyclin D2 protein and the cell proliferation marker Ki67. Progression from G1 to S phase of the cell cycle was necessary for the protective effect of E2; blocking progression from G1 to S phase with the cdk2 inhibitor roscovitine, or blocking cells in S phase with hydroxyurea, prevented protection by E2. The stages of the cell cycle during which granulosa cells are susceptible to apoptosis were assessed. First, treatment with the G1 phase blocker, mimosine, protected cells from FasL-induced apoptosis, indicating that cells in G0 or early- to mid-G1 phase are relatively resistant to apoptosis. Secondly, examination of recent DNA synthesis by cells that became apoptotic indicated that apoptosis did not occur in S, G2 or M phases. Taken together, the experiments indicate that cells may be most susceptible to apoptosis at the transition from G1 to S phase. E2 stimulates transition from G1 to S phase and protects against apoptosis only when cell cycle progression is unperturbed.
