Accelerated cell cycle progression in osteoblasts overexpressing the c-fos proto-oncogene: induction of cyclin A and enhanced CDK2 activity

Transgenic mice overexpressing the c-Fos oncoprotein develop osteosarcomas that are associated with deregulated expression of cell cycle genes. Here we have generated osteoblast cell lines expressing c-fos under the control of a tetracycline-regulatable promoter to investigate the role of c-Fos in osteoblast cell cycle control in vitro. Three stable subclones, AT9.2, AT9.3, and AT9.7, derived from MC3T3-E1 mouse osteoblasts, expressed high levels of exogenous c-fos mRNA and protein in the absence of tetracycline. Functional contribution of ectopic c-Fos to AP-1 complexes was confirmed by electromobility shift assays and transactivation of AP-1 reporter constructs. Induction of exogenous c-Fos in quiescent AT9.2 cells caused accelerated S-phase entry following serum stimulation, resulting in enhanced growth rate. Ectopic c-Fos resulted in increased expression of cyclins A and E protein levels, and premature activation of cyclin A-, cyclin E-, and cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 2-associated kinase activities, although cyclin D levels and CDK4 activity were not affected significantly in these cell lines. The enhanced CDK2 kinase activity was associated with a rapid, concomitant dissociation of p27 from CDK2-containing complexes. Deregulated cyclin A expression and CDK2 activity was also observed in primary mouse osteoblasts overexpressing c-Fos, but not in fibroblasts, and c-Fos transgenic tumor-derived osteosarcoma cells constitutively expressed high levels of cyclin A protein. These data suggest that overexpression of c-Fos in osteoblasts results in accelerated S phase entry as a result of deregulated cyclin A/E-CDK2 activity. This represents a novel role for c-Fos in osteoblast growth control and may provide c-Fos-overexpressing osteoblasts with a growth advantage during tumorigenesis.     

Fibronectin promotes cell cycle entry in smooth muscle cells in primary culture

Smooth muscle cell proliferation after arterial injury is regulated by growth factors and components of the extracellular matrix. We have previously demonstrated that fibronectin promotes a phenotypic modulation of freshly isolated rat smooth muscle cells from a contractile to a synthetic phenotype in primary culture and supports the ability of the cells to respond to growth factors. Here, we analyzed if fibronectin promotes cell cycle entry in freshly isolated rat aortic smooth muscle cells during primary culture. Cell cycle analysis showed that cells seeded on fibronectin remained in the G(0)/G(1) phase of the cell cycle during the first 6 days of culture. During this period, there was an increased expression of cyclin D1 and p27(KIP1) in the absence of exogenous growth factors. Addition of serum was followed by enhanced cyclin D1 expression, decreased p27(KIP1) levels, hyperphosphorylation of Rb protein, induction of cyclin A and cyclin D3 expression, and cell cycle progression into S phase. The results indicate that fibronectin initiates cell cycle entry in freshly isolated smooth muscle cells by promoting the induction of cyclin D1 and thereby facilitates further cell cycle progression together with growth factors.

Cyclin A but not cyclin D1 is essential for c-myc-modulated cell-cycle progression

The proto-oncogene c-myc is a key player in cell-cycle regulation and is deregulated in a broad range of human cancers and cell proliferation disorders. Here we reported that overexpression of c-myc in human embryonic lung fibroblasts (HEL) that have low endogenous c-myc enriched S phase cells with increased expression of cyclin D3, E, A, Cdk2, and Cdk4, and decreased expression of p21 and p27. To the opposite, using RNAi to downregulate c-myc expression in A549 cells that have high endogenous c-myc enriched G1 phase cells with decreased expression of cyclin D3, E, A, Cdk2, Cdk4, and increased expression of p21 and p27. We found that cyclin A expression was the most susceptive to changes in c-myc levels and essential in c-myc-modulated cell cycle pathway via co-transfection, however, cyclin D1 showed no change between treated and control groups in either HEL or A549 cells. Our results indicated that upregulation of c-myc expression promotes cell cycling in HEL cells, whereas downregulation of c-myc expression causes G1 phase arrest in A549 cells, and the c-myc-mediated cell-cycle regulation pathway was dependent on cyclin A and involved cyclin D3, E, Cdk2, Cdk4, p21, and p27, but not cyclin D1.     

Cyclin A-associated kinase activity is rate limiting for entrance into S phase and is negatively regulated in G1 by p27Kip1.

We have created fibroblast cell lines that express cyclin A under the control of a tetracycline-repressible promoter. When stimulated to reenter the cell cycle after serum withdrawal, these cells were advanced prematurely into S phase by induction of cyclin A. In an asynchronous population, induction of cyclin A caused a decrease in the percentage of cells in G1. These results demonstrate that expression of cyclin A is rate limiting for the G1-to-S transition and suggest that cyclin A can function as a G1 cyclin. Although the level of exogenous cyclin A was constant throughout the cell cycle, its associated kinase activity increased as cells approached S phase. Low kinase activity in early G1 was found to correlate with the presence of p27Kip1 in cyclin A-associated complexes, while high kinase activity in late G1 was correlated with its absence. These results suggest that a function of p27Kip1 in G1 is to prevent premature activation of cyclin A-associated kinase. Cyclin A expression in early G1 led to phosphorylation of the product of the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene (pRb). Thus, cyclin A expression can be rate limiting for pRb phosphorylation, implicating pRb as a physiological substrate of the cyclin A-dependent kinase. Taken together, these results demonstrate that deregulated expression of cyclin A can perturb the normal regulation of the G1-to-S transition.     

Ultraviolet light induces the sustained unscheduled expression of cyclin E in the absence of functional p53

Cell cycle progression is regulated through changes in the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases that are, in turn, regulated by the expression of their respective cyclin partners. In primary cells, cyclin E expression increases through the G1 phase of the cell cycle and peaks near the G1/S boundary. The unscheduled expression of cyclin E in primary human fibroblasts leads to chromosomal instability that is greatly increased by loss of the p53 tumour suppressor. Intriguingly, ultraviolet light (UV), the most prevalent environmental carcinogen, is similarly known to induce chromosomal instability more dramatically in the absence of p53. Here we report that UV light transiently increased the expression of cyclin E in normal human fibroblasts. Strikingly, cyclin E levels remained elevated for an extended period of time in the absence of functional p53. UV-induced cyclin E expression was not restricted to the G1/S boundary but remained elevated throughout S phase and this correlated with a massive accumulation of p53-deficient fibroblasts in this phase of the cell cycle. Forced expression of cyclin E alone was insufficient to cause a similar S phase arrest but forced expression of cyclin E led to an increase in the proportion of UV-irradiated cells in S phase. The present work suggests that p53 affects S phase progression following UV exposure by preventing the sustained unscheduled expression of cyclin E and that this may limit the clastogenic and carcinogenic effects of UV light.
