Metazoans have an elaborate and functionally segmented body. It evolves from a single cell by systematic divisions. Metazoans attain structural complexity with exquisite precision, which is a molecular mystery. The indispensable role of centrioles in cell division and ciliogenesis can shed insight into this riddle. Cell division helps in growth of the body and is a highly regulated and integrated process. Its errors cause malignancies. The cell mass is organized during organogenesis. Prior to it, the centrioles are retrieved from the cell cycle to initiate ciliogenesis. The cilia-modulated developmental signaling pathways elaborate the body plan. The secluded compartment of the cilium reduces noise during signaling and is essential for a precise body plan development. The dysfunctional centrioles and cilia can distort body plan. Thus, centriole has a dual role in growth and cellular organization. This concept review analyses the comprehensive interactome and the key domain features (like C2 domain) of molecules which connect and disarm the centriole from the cell cycle and ciliogenesis by switching on or off the essential regulators of the pathways. The concentration of these signaling pathways at the centriole reinforces the hypothesis that centriole is the molecular workstation to carve out structural design and complexity in metazoans.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the role of miRNA-1225-5p (miR-1225) in laryngeal carcinoma (LC). We found that the expression of miR-1225 was suppressed in human LC samples, while CDC14B (cell division cycle 14B) expression was reinforced in comparison with surrounding normal tissues. We also demonstrated that enhanced expression of miR-1225 impaired the proliferation and survival of LC cells, and resulted in G1/S cell cycle arrest. In contrast, reduced expression of miR-1225 promoted cell survival. Moreover, miR-1225 resulted in G1/S cell cycle arrest and enhanced cell death. Further, miR-1225 targets CDC14B 3′-UTR and recovery of CDC14B expression counteracted the suppressive influence of miR-1225 on LC cells. Thus, these findings offer insight into the biological and molecular mechanisms behind the development of LC.

Cycle Regulation

Uninhibited proliferation and abnormal cell cycle regulation are the hallmarks of cancer. The main role of cyclin dependent kinases is to regulate the cell cycle and cell proliferation. These protein kinases are frequently down regulated or up regulated in various cancers. Two CDK family members, CDK 11 and 12, have contradicting views about their roles in different cancers. For example, one study suggests that the CDK 11 isoforms, p58, inhibits growth of breast cancer whereas, the CDK 11 isoform, p110, is highly expressed in breast tumor. Studies regarding CDK 12 show variation of opinion towards different parts of the body, however there is a consensus that upregulation of cdk12 increases the risk of breast cancer. Hence, CDK 11 and CDK 12 need to be analyzed to confirm their mechanism and their role regarding therapeutics, prognostic value, and ethnicity in cancer. This article gives an outline on both CDKs of information known up to date from Medline, PubMed, Google Scholar and Web of Science search engines, which were explored and thirty relevant researches were finalized.

Insight Into

The role of genetic mutations in the development of osteosarcoma, such as alterations in p53 and Rb, is well understood. However, the significance of epigenetic mechanisms in the progression of osteosarcoma remains unclear and is increasingly being investigated. Recent evidence suggests that epigenetic alterations such as methylation and histone modifications of genes involved in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis may contribute to the pathogenesis of this tumor. Importantly, understanding the molecular mechanisms of regulation of these pathways may give insight into novel therapeutic strategies for patients with osteosarcoma. This paper serves to summarize the described epigenetic mechanisms in the tumorigenesis of osteosarcoma, specifically those pertaining to apoptosis and cell cycle regulation.

The forkhead box O3 (FOXO3, or FKHRL1) protein is a member of the FOXO subclass of transcription factors. FOXO proteins were originally identified as regulators of insulin-related genes; however, they are now established regulators of genes involved in vital biological processes, including substrate metabolism, protein turnover, cell survival, and cell death. FOXO3 is one of the rare genes that have been consistently linked to longevity in in vivo models. This review provides an update of the most recent research pertaining to the role of FOXO3 in (i) the regulation of protein turnover in skeletal muscle, the largest protein pool of the body, and (ii) the genetic basis of longevity. Finally, it examines (iii) the role of microRNAs in the regulation of FOXO3 and its impact on the regulation of the cell cycle.

The preprophase band (PPB) of microtubules (MTs), which appears at the future site of cytokinesis prior to cell division in higher plant cells, disappears by metaphase. Recent studies have shown that displacement of the endoplasm from the PPB region by centrifugation delays the disappearance of the PPB. To study the role of the endoplasm in the cell cycle-specific disruption of the PPB, the filamentous protonemal cells of the fern Adiantum capilius-veneris L. were centrifuged twice so that the first centrifugation displaced the endoplasm from the site of the PPB and the second returned it to its original location. The endoplasm, including the nucleus of various stages of mitosis, could be returned by the second centrifugation to the original region of the PPB, which persists during mitosis in the centrifuged cells. When endoplasm with a prophase nucleus was returned to its original location, the PPB was not disrupted. When endoplasm with a prometa-phase telophase nucleus was similarly returned, the PPB was disrupted within 10 min of termination of centrifugation. In protonemal cells of Adiantum, a second PPB is often formed near the displaced nucleus after the first centrifugation. In cells in which the endoplasm was considered to have been returned to its original location at the prophase/prometaphase transition, the second PPB did not disappear even though the initial PPB was disrupted by the endoplasm. These results suggest that cell cycle-specific disruption of the PPB is regulated by some factor(s) in the endoplasm, which appears at prometaphase, i.e. the stage at which the PPB is disrupted in non-centrifuged cells.

Anaphase Promoting Complex

The ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome system is vital to nearly every biological process in eukaryotes. Specifically, the conjugation of Ub to target proteins by Ub ligases, such as the Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C), is paramount for cell cycle transitions as it leads to the irreversible destruction of cell cycle regulators by the proteasome. Through this activity, the RING Ub ligase APC/C governs mitosis, G1, and numerous aspects of neurobiology. Pioneering cryo-EM, biochemical reconstitution, and cell-based studies have illuminated many aspects of the conformational dynamics of this large, multi-subunit complex and the sophisticated regulation of APC/C function. More recent studies have revealed new mechanisms that selectively dictate APC/C activity and explore additional pathways that are controlled by APC/C-mediated ubiquitination, including an intimate relationship with chromatin regulation. These tasks go beyond the traditional cell cycle role historically ascribed to the APC/C. Here, we review these novel findings, examine the mechanistic implications of APC/C regulation, and discuss the role of the APC/C in previously unappreciated signaling pathways.

Mtorc1 Signaling

Growth factors, insulin signaling and nutrients are important regulators of β-cell mass and function. The events linking these signals to regulation of β-cell mass are not completely understood. Recent findings indicate that mTOR pathway integrates signals from growth factors and nutrients with transcription, translation, cell size, cytoskeleton remodeling and mitochondrial metabolism. mTOR is a part of two distinct complexes; mTORC1 and mTORC2. The mammalian TORC1 is sensitive to rapamycin and contains Raptor, deptor, PRAS40 and the G protein β-subunit-like protein (GβL). mTORC1 activates key regulators of protein translation; ribosomal S6 kinase (S6K) and eukaryote initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1. This review summarizes current findings about the role of AKT/mTORC1 signaling in regulation of pancreatic β cell mass and proliferation. mTORC1 is a major regulator of β-cell cycle progression by modulation of cyclins D2, D3 and cdk4/cyclin D activity. These studies uncovered key novel pathways controlling cell cycle progression in β-cells in vivo. This information can be used to develop alternative approaches to expand β-cell mass in vivo and in vitro without the risk of oncogenic transformation. The acquisition of such knowledge is critical for the design of improved therapeutic strategies for the treatment and cure of diabetes as well as to understand the effects of mTOR inhibitors in β-cell function.

M Phase

The cell cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell, which drives it to divide and produce two new daughter cells. The typical cell cycle in eukaryotes is composed of the following phases: G1, S, G2, and M phase. Cell cycle progression is mediated by cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and their regulatory cyclin subunits. However, the driving force of cell cycle progression is growth factor-initiated signaling pathways that control the activity of various Cdk–cyclin complexes. While the mechanism underlying the role of growth factor signaling in G1 phase of cell cycle progression has been largely revealed due to early extensive research, little is known regarding the function and mechanism of growth factor signaling in regulating other phases of the cell cycle, including S, G2, and M phase. In this review, we briefly discuss the process of cell cycle progression through various phases, and we focus on the role of signaling pathways activated by growth factors and their receptor (mostly receptor tyrosine kinases) in regulating cell cycle progression through various phases.

Regulation Of Cell Cycle

The role of kinases in the regulation of cell cycle transitions is very well established, however, over the past decade, studies have identified the ever-growing importance of phosphatases in these processes. It is well-known that an intact or otherwise non-deformed nuclear envelope (NE) is essential for maintaining healthy cells and any deviation from this can result in pathological conditions. This review aims at assessing the current understanding of how phosphatases contribute to the remodelling of the nuclear envelope during its disassembling and reformation after cell division and how errors in this process may lead to the development of diseases.

The levels of free, conjugated and bound polyamines (PA) were analyzed during the cell cycle of the synchronized unicellular green alga Scenedesmus obliquus. The polyamines putrescine (PUT) and spermidine (SPD) in their free and conjugated forms accumulated per cell to a maximum in the cell cycle at about the 16 th hour after onset of illumination. The polyamines bound to macromolecules and membrane systems showed an additional peak around the 8-10 th hour of the cell cycle. The possible role of the different forms of polyamines in DNA replication, mitosis, cell division and development of the photosynthetic apparatus is discussed
