The growth-suppressive function of the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene product, RB, has been implicated in the mediation of growth inhibition and negative regulation of certain proliferation related genes by transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1). Early gene responses to TGF-beta 1 were examined in order to determine their dependence on the cell cycle and on the growth-suppressive function of RB. TGF-beta 1, which rapidly elevates the steady-state level of junB and PAI-1 mRNAs and decreases that of c-myc mRNA, induces these responses in S-phase populations of Mv1Lu lung epithelial cells containing RB in a phosphorylated state. Since in this state RB is presumed to lack growth-suppressive activity, the response to TGF-beta 1 was also examined in DU145 human prostate carcinoma cells whose mutant RB product lacks growth-suppressive function. In these cells, TGF-beta 1 also decreases c-myc expression at the transcription initiation level. These results suggests that the c-myc, junB, and PAI-1 responses to TGF-beta 1 are not restricted to the G1 phase of the cell cycle and that down-regulation of c-myc expression by TGF-beta 1 can occur through a mechanism independent from the growth-suppressive function of RB.

The forkhead box O (FOXO) proteins are transcription factors involved in the differentiation of many cell types. Type II collagen (Col2) Cre-Foxo1-knockout and Col2-Cre-Foxo1,3,4 triple-knockout mice exhibit growth plate malformation. Moreover, recent studies have reported that in some cells, the expressions and activities of FOXOs are promoted by transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1), a growth factor playing a key role in chondrogenic differentiation. Here, using a murine chondrogenic cell line (ATDC5), mouse embryos, and human mesenchymal stem cells, we report the mechanisms by which FOXOs affect chondrogenic differentiation. FOXO1 expression increased along with chondrogenic differentiation, and FOXO1 inhibition suppressed chondrogenic differentiation. TGFβ1/SMAD signaling promoted expression and activity of FOXO1. In ATDC5, FOXO1 knockdown suppressed expression of sex-determining region Y box 9 (Sox9), a master regulator of chondrogenic differentiation, resulting in decreased collagen type II α1 (Col2a1) and aggrecan (Acan) expression after TGFβ1 treatment. On the other hand, chemical FOXO1 inhibition suppressed Col2a1 and Acan expression without suppressing Sox9. To investigate the effects of FOXO1 on chondrogenic differentiation independently of SOX9, we examined FOXO1's effects on the cell cycle. FOXO1 inhibition suppressed expression of p21 and cell-cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase. Conversely, FOXO1 overexpression promoted expression of p21 and cell-cycle arrest. FOXO1 inhibition suppressed expression of nascent p21 RNA by TGFβ1, and FOXO1 bound the p21 promoter. p21 inhibition suppressed expression of Col2a1 and Acan during chondrogenic differentiation. These results suggest that FOXO1 is necessary for not only SOX9 expression, but also cell-cycle arrest during chondrogenic differentiation via TGFβ1 signaling.

Expression of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), which inhibits the proliferation of hematopoietic progenitors, was investigated simultaneously with cell cycle characteristics in 63 bone marrow biopsies from 23 cases with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was administered to every patient (17 newly diagnosed) for determination of the labeling index (LI) and the durations of S-phase (Ts) and the cell cycle (Tc) of leukemic promyelocytes. APL cases had lower LI both in the bone marrow aspirate (6.1% v 11.4%, P = .008) and biopsy (21.1% v 28.0%, P = .001) and longer Tc (93.6 hours v 56.0 hours, P = .002) when compared with other French-American-British subtypes. TGF-beta expression (detected by a monoclonal anti-TGF-beta 2/beta 3 antibody) was dramatically high, especially in interstitial areas of the biopsies. S-phase cells were found as geographically restricted islands of proliferation (GRIPs) in 20 of 22 cases. Weekly biopsies showed an increment in TGF-beta on day 7 of therapy in 13 of 17 cases, while in vivo differentiation was noted in 9 of 15. We conclude that the presence of high TGF-beta expression may explain the biologic basis for the slowly cycling nature of leukemic promyelocytes in APL as well as the unique clustering of S- phase cells observed in GRIPs.
