Tumor suppressor p53 is an essential regulator in mammalian cellular responses to DNA damage including cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Our study with Chinese hamster ovary CHO-K1 cells indicates that when p53 expression and its transactivation capacity was inhibited by siRNA, UVC-induced G2/M arrest or apoptosis were unaffected as revealed by flow cyotmetric analyses and other measurements. However, inhibition of p53 rendered the cells slower to repair UV-induced damages upon a plasmid as shown in host cell reactivation assay. Furthermore, the nuclear extract (NE) of p53 siRNA-treated cells was inactive to excise the UV-induced DNA adducts as analyzed by comet assay. Consistently, the immunodepletion of p53 also deprived the excision activity of the NE in the similar experiment. Thus, tumor suppressor p53 of CHO-K1 cells may facilitate removal of UV-induced DNA damages partly via its involvement in the repair mechanism. 相似文献

DNA damaging agents such as ultraviolet (UV) induce cell cycle arrest followed by apoptosis in cells where irreparable damage has occurred. Here we show that during early phase G1 arrest which occurs in UV-irradiated human U343 glioblastoma cells, there are (1) decreases in cyclin D1 and cdk4 levels which parallel a loss of S-phase promoting cyclin D1/cdk4 complexes, and (2) increases in p53 and p21 protein levels. We also show that the late phase UV-induced apoptosis of U343 cells occurs after cell cycle re-entry and parallels the reappearance of cyclin D1 and cdk4 and cyclin D1/cdk4 complexes. These findings suggest that cyclin D1 can abrogate UV-induced G1 arrest and that the p53-mediated apoptosis that occurs in these cells is dependent on cyclin D1 levels. We examined these possibilities using U343 cells that ectopically express cyclin D1 and found that indeed cyclin D1 can overcome the cell cycle arrest caused by UV. Moreover, the appearance of p53 protein and the induction of apoptosis in UV-irradiated cells was found to be dependent on the level of ectopically expressed cyclin D1. These findings, therefore, indicate that expression of cyclin D1 following DNA damage is essential for cell cycle re-entry and p53-mediated apoptosis. 相似文献

Although DNA-damaging agents such as ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray can induce apoptosis, the difference in the apoptotic mechanism is not clearly understood. In the present study, we investigated the effects of these two genotoxic agents on the induction of DNA damage and subsequent apoptotic cell death from the viewpoint of cell cycle regulation by using WiDr cells. Transient G1 arrest was observed after UV exposure, whereas G2 but not G1 arrest was induced after X-ray irradiation. UV-exposure could induce G1 arrest in both mutant-type (mt-p53) and wild-type p53 (wt-p53) cells, but obvious G1 arrest was not observed in the cells lacking in p53 expression. An increase in the DNA fragmentation was observed at S phase in UV-irradiated cells and at G2 phase in X-irradiated cells, respectively. UV-irradiated cells showed an increase production of p53 protein and accumulation of p21 protein. On the contrary, both p53 and p21 proteins remained at a low level in X-irradiated cells. Treatment with aphidicolin, an S phase blocking agent, prolonged cell cycle arrest and reduced the rate of apoptotic cell death in both UV-irradiated and X-irradiated cells. From these results, it is suggested that UV-induced apoptosis occurs mainly at S phase and is regulated by increased production of p53 and p21 proteins, while X-ray-induced apoptosis occurs after G2 blockade and may be independent of p53. 相似文献

Nucleotide-excision repair (NER) is the most versatile mechanism of DNA repair, recognizing and dealing with a variety of helix-distorting lesions, such as the UV-induced photoproducts cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine (6-4) photoproducts. We investigated the influence of an anticancer drug, STI571, on the efficacy of NER in removing UV-induced DNA damage. STI571 is used mostly in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia and inhibits activity of the BCR/ABL oncogenic tyrosine kinase, which is a hallmark of this disease. NER activity was examined in the BCR/ABL-expressing cell lines K562 and BV173 of myeloid and lymphoid origin, respectively, as well as in CCRF-CEM cells, which do not express BCR/ABL. A murine myeloid parental 32D cell line and its counterpart transfected with the BCR/ABL gene were also tested. NER activity was assessed in the cell extracts by use of an UV-irradiated plasmid as a substrate and by a modified single-cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay on UV-treated nucleoids. Additionally, quantitative PCR was performed to evaluate the efficacy of the removal of UV-induced lesions from the p53 gene by intact cells. Results obtained from these experiments indicate that STI571 decreases the efficacy of NER in leukemic cells expressing BCR/ABL. Therefore, STI571 may overcome the drug resistance associated with increased DNA repair in BCR/ABL-positive leukemias. 相似文献

Role and regulation of p53 during an ultraviolet radiation-induced G1 cell cycle arrest. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
p53 can play a key role in response to DNA damage by activating a G1 cell cycle arrest. However, the importance of p53 in the cell cycle response to UV radiation is unclear. In this study, we used normal and repair-deficient cells to examine the role and regulation of p53 in response to UV radiation. A dose-dependent G1 arrest was observed in normal and repair-deficient cells exposed to UV. Expression of HPV16-E6, or a dominant-negative p53 mutant that inactivates wildtype p53, caused cells to become resistant to this UV-induced G1 arrest. However, a G1 to S-phase delay was still observed after UV treatment of cells in which p53 was inactivated. These results indicate that UV can inhibit G1 to S-phase progression through p53-dependent and independent mechanisms. Cells deficient in the repair of UV-induced DNA damage were more susceptible to a G1 arrest after UV treatment than cells with normal repair capacity. Moreover, no G1 arrest was observed in cells that had completed DNA repair prior to monitoring their movement from G1 into S-phase. Finally, p53 was stabilized under conditions of a UV-induced G1 arrest and unstable when cells had completed DNA repair and progressed from G1 into S-phase. These results suggest that unrepaired DNA damage is the signal for the stabilization of p53, and a subsequent G1 phase cell cycle arrest in UV-irradiated cells. 相似文献

This study was performed to prove our hypothesis that the metabolite(s) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) caused the activation or phosphorylation of p53 via DNA damage to suppress the liver X receptor (LXR)-mediated signal transductions as a probably more direct mechanism. We found that LXR-mediated trans-activation was inhibited by 3-methylchoranthrene (MC) and doxorubicin (Dox) in HepG2 cells carrying wild-type p53, but not in Hep3B cells possessing mutant p53. The exogenous expression of wild-type p53 suppressed the LXR-mediated trans-activation in Hep3B cells. The expression of mRNA for ATP binding cassette A1 was suppressed by MC and Dox in HepG2 cells. The protein expression of retinoid X receptor (RXR), a partner of LXR to form a heterodimer, was suppressed by MC and Dox in HepG2 cells. 相似文献

Nucleotide excision repair (NER), the most versatile and ubiquitous mechanism for DNA repair, operates to remove many types of DNA base lesions. We have studied the role of p53 function in modulating the repair of DNA damage following UV irradiation in normal and p53-compromised human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC). The effect of UV-induced DNA damage on cellular cytotoxicity and apoptosis was determined in conjunction with global, gene- and strand-specific repair. Cytotoxicity studies, using clonogenic survival and MTT assays, showed that HPV-16 E6-expressing HMEC were more UV sensitive than p53-WT cell lines. High apoptotic index obtained with p53-compromised cells was in conformity to both the low clonogenic survival and the low cellular viability. No discernible differences in the formation of initial UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) were observed in the cell lines of varying p53 functional status. However, the extent and the rate of damage removal from genome overall were highest for p53-WT cells. Further examination of strand-specific repair in the p53 gene revealed that the removal of CPD in the non-transcribed strand (NTS) was slower in p53-compromised cells compared to the normal p53-WT cell lines. These results suggest that loss of p53 function, in the absence of other genetic alterations, decreased both overall amount of CPD repaired and their removal rate from the genome. Additionally, normal function of p53 is required for the repair of the NTS, but not of the transcribed strand (TS) in genomic DNA in human epithelial cells. Thus, failure of quantitative removal of CPD by global genomic repair (GGR), due to loss of p53 function, causes the enhanced UV sensitivity and increased damage-induced apoptosis via a p53-independent pathway. Nevertheless, recovery of cells from UV damage requires normal p53 function and efficient GGR. 相似文献

Interindividual variability in DNA damage response (DDR) dynamics may evoke differences in susceptibility to cancer. However, pathway dynamics are often studied in cell lines as alternative to primary cells, disregarding variability. To compare DDR dynamics in the cell line HepG2 with primary human hepatocytes (PHHs), we developed a HepG2-based computational model that describes the dynamics of DDR regulator p53 and targets MDM2, p21 and BTG2. We used this model to generate simulations of virtual PHHs and compared the results to those for PHH donor samples. Correlations between baseline p53 and p21 or BTG2 mRNA expression in the absence and presence of DNA damage for HepG2-derived virtual samples matched the moderately positive correlations observed for 50 PHH donor samples, but not the negative correlations between p53 and its inhibitor MDM2. Model parameter manipulation that affected p53 or MDM2 dynamics was not sufficient to accurately explain the negative correlation between these genes. Thus, extrapolation from HepG2 to PHH can be done for some DDR elements, yet our analysis also reveals a knowledge gap within p53 pathway regulation, which makes such extrapolation inaccurate for the regulator MDM2. This illustrates the relevance of studying pathway dynamics in addition to gene expression comparisons to allow reliable translation of cellular responses from cell lines to primary cells. Overall, with our approach we show that dynamical modeling can be used to improve our understanding of the sources of interindividual variability of pathway dynamics. 相似文献

Controlled release of medications remains the most convenient way to deliver drugs. In this study, we precipitated gold nanoparticles with quercetin. We loaded gold-quercetin into poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles (NQ) and tested the biological activity of NQ on HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells to acquire the sustained release property. We determined by circular dichroism spectroscopy that NQ effectively caused conformational changes in DNA and modulated different proteins related to epigenetic modifications and c ell cycle control. The mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), reactive oxygen species (ROS), cell cycle, apoptosis, DNA damage, and caspase 3 activity were analyzed by flow cytometry, and the expression profiles of different anti- and pro-apoptotic as well as epigenetic signals were studied by immunoblotting. A cytotoxicity assay indicated that NQ preferentially killed cancer cells, compared to normal cells. NQ interacted with HepG2 cell DNA and reduced histone deacetylases to control cell proliferation and arrest the cell cycle at the sub-G stage. Activities of cell cycle-related proteins, such as p21WAF, cdk1, and pAkt, were modulated. NQ induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells by activating p53-ROS crosstalk and induces epigenetic modifications leading to inhibited proliferation and cell cycle arrest. 相似文献

Ellipticine induces apoptosis through p53-dependent pathway in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Ellipticine (5,11-dimethyl-6H-pyrido[4,3-b]carbazole), one of the simplest naturally occurring alkaloids, was isolated from the leaves of the evergreen tree Ochrosia elliptica Labill (Apocynaceae). Here, we reported that ellipticine inhibited the cell growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 and provided molecular understanding of this effect. The XTT assay results showed that ellipticine decreased the cell viability of HepG2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and the IC50 value was 4.1 microM. Furthermore, apoptosis induction by ellipticine in HepG2 cells was verified by the appearance of DNA fragmentation and annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) staining assay. Ellipticine treatment was found to result in the upregulation of p53, Fas/APO-1 receptor and Fas ligand. Besides, ellipticine also initiated mitochondrial apoptotic pathway through regulation of Bcl-2 family proteins expression, alteration of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsim), and activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3. Taken together, ellipticine decreased the cell growth and induced apoptosis in HepG2 cell. 相似文献

Immortalized cells frequently have disruptions of p53 activity and lack p53-dependent nucleotide excision repair (NER). We hypothesized that telomerase immortalization would not alter p53-mediated ultraviolet light (UV)-induced DNA damage responses. DNA repair proficient primary diploid human fibroblasts (GM00024) were immortalized by transduction with a telomerase expressing retrovirus. Empty retrovirus transduced cells senesced after a few doublings. Telomerase transduced GM00024 cells (tGM24) were cultured continuously for 6 months (>60 doublings). Colony forming ability after UV irradiation was dose-dependent between 0 and 20J/m2 UVC (LD50=5.6J/m2). p53 accumulation was UV dose- and time-dependent as was induction of p48(XPE/DDB2), p21(CIP1/WAF1), and phosphorylation on p53-S15. UV dose-dependent apoptosis was measured by nuclear condensation. UV exposure induced UV-damaged DNA binding as monitored by electrophoretic mobility shift assays using UV irradiated radiolabeled DNA probe was inhibited by p53-specific siRNA transfection. p53-Specific siRNA transfection also prevented UV induction of p48 and improved UV survival measured by colony forming ability. Strand-specific NER of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) within DHFR was identical in tGM24 and GM00024 cells. CPD removal from the transcribed strand was nearly complete in 6h and from the non-transcribed strand was 73% complete in 24h. UV-induced HPRT mutagenesis in tGM24 was indistinguishable from primary human fibroblasts. These wide-ranging findings indicate that the UV-induced DNA damage response remains intact in telomerase-immortalized cells. Furthermore, telomerase immortalization provides permanent cell lines for testing the immediate impact on NER and mutagenesis of selective genetic manipulation without propagation to establish mutant lines. 相似文献

Progression through the cell cycle relies on the activities of cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk), which in turn are modulated by inhibitory proteins such as p21(waf1/cip1) that are induced when genomic damage occurs. In this study, we show that exposure of normal mammalian cells, such as NIH3T3 fibroblasts, to UVC (25 J/m2, at 254 nm) induces the expression of p21 without causing significant apoptosis, whereas similar treatment of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells with UVC causes apoptosis without inducing p21. The absence of p21 in UV-irradiated CHO-K1 cells is accompanied by the deregulation of Cdk2 activity. The elevation of Cdk2 activity correlates with the increase of UV-induced apoptosis, which can be suppressed by small-molecule Cdk2 inhibitors such as roscovitine and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate. The results of this study suggest that the deregulation of Cdk2 activity may be critical to UV-induced apoptosis in CHO-K1 cells. 相似文献

Dihydromyricetin (DHM) is a major active ingredient of flavonoids compounds. It exhibited anticancer activity and induced apoptosis in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells according to our previous data. In this study, we investigated whether p53 is involved in DHM-triggered viability inhibition and apoptosis induction in cancer cells. MTT [3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay was employed to evaluate the viability of HepG2 cells after DHM treatment. Meanwhile, p53 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was adopted to silence p53 expression. Protein level of p53 and Bax/Bcl-2 were evaluated by western blot analysis. Cell counting assay showed that DHM inhibited HepG2 cell growth effectively in a time- and dose-dependent manner. P53 expression was significantly increased after DHM treatment, whereas Bcl-2 was reduced potently. Furthermore, after co-treatment with Pifithrin-α (PFT-α, p53 inhibitor), Bcl-2 expression was reversed. The expression of Bax was no significant change, which was also observed after p53 silence. These findings defined and supported a novel function that DHM could induce human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells apoptosis by up-regulating Bax/Bcl-2 expression via p53 signal pathway. 相似文献

Photoreactivation was observed in airborne Mycobacterium parafortuitum exposed concurrently to UV radiation (254 nm) and visible light. Photoreactivation rates of airborne cells increased with increasing relative humidity (RH) and decreased with increasing UV dose. Under a constant UV dose with visible light absent, the UV inactivation rate of airborne M. parafortuitum cells decreased by a factor of 4 as RH increased from 40 to 95%; however, under identical conditions with visible light present, the UV inactivation rate of airborne cells decreased only by a factor of 2. When irradiated in the absence of visible light, cellular cyclobutane thymine dimer content of UV-irradiated airborne M. parafortuitum and Serratia marcescens increased in response to RH increases. Results suggest that, unlike in waterborne bacteria, cyclobutane thymine dimers are not the most significant form of UV-induced DNA damage incurred by airborne bacteria and that the distribution of DNA photoproducts incorporated into UV-irradiated airborne cells is a function of RH. 相似文献
