Location of cell cycle regulators cyclin B1, cyclin A, PCNA, Ki67 and cell cycle inhibitors p21, p27 and p57 in human first trimester placenta and deciduas

Although placental development and implantation depend on the coordination of trophoblast proliferation, differentiation and invasion, little is known about the cell cycle regulators that govern the control of these events. The hypothesis that the coordinated expression of cell cycle progression and inhibition factors will determine whether cytotrophoblasts proliferate or undergo cell cycle arrest or cell cycle exit allowing subsequent differentiation was tested. The cell cycle promotors cyclin A, cyclin B1, PCNA, Ki67 and the cell cycle inhibitors p21, p27 and p57 were immunolocalized in tissue sections of first trimester pregnancies (weeks 6 and 9–12). Double staining with cytokeratin 7 allowed unambiguous identification of extravillous cytotrophoblast (EVT) in the decidua. Villous cytotrophoblasts were immunolabelled for Ki67 and cyclin A but only few were stained with anti-cyclin B1. The syncytiotrophoblast was devoid of immunoreactivity for any of the cell cycle progression factors. It expressed especially p21, whereas p27 and p57 were predominantly found in villous cytotrophoblasts. PCNA, Ki67, cyclin A and cyclin B1 were immunolocalized in proximal and distal EVTs of anchoring villi and in EVT which had invaded the upper decidual segments. All EVTs strongly expressed p27 and p57, but not p21. These data clearly suggest different functions for p21, p27 and p57 in placental development with distinct roles for p21 and p57 in syncytiotrophoblast and EVT differentiation, respectively. p27 appears to be involved in both the processes. The results may also challenge the concept of differential mitotic activity in the proximal and distal parts of the first trimester cytotrophoblast cell column, but more functional studies are clearly needed. The presence of p27 and p57 in EVT cells, which invade the deciduas deeply, may account for the loss of mitogenic potential of these cells.

Cyclin D1 Inhibits Cell Proliferation through Binding to PCNA and Cdk2

Cyclin D1 is known as a promoting factor for cell growth. We previously showed, however, that the expression of cyclin D1 increases markedly in senescent human fibroblastsin vitro.Here we investigate whether the overexpression of cyclin D1 inhibits cell proliferation. Colony formation after transfection with the cyclin D1 expression vector was repressed in NIH-3T3, TIG-1, CHO-K1, and HeLa cells, compared with those with mock and cyclin E expression vectors. A transient transfection assay demonstrated that the overexpression of cyclin D1 inhibited DNA synthesis of TIG-1 cells. The complexes of cyclin D1 with PCNA and cdk2 increased remarkably in senescent cells, compared with young counterparts. Excessive glutathioneS-transferase (GST)–cyclin D1 inhibited DNA replication and repressed cdk2-dependent kinase activityin vitro.DNA synthesis of NIH-3T3 transfectants with PCNA or cdk2 expression vectors was not inhibited by the overexpression of cyclin D1. These results indicate that an excessive level of cyclin D1 represses cell proliferation by inhibiting DNA replication and cdk2 activity through the binding of cyclin D1 to PCNA and cdk2, as it does in senescent cells.     

Cyclin D1 expression and cell cycle response in DNA mismatch repair-deficient cells upon methylation and UV-C damage

We have evaluated cell survival, apoptosis, and cell cycle responses in a panel of DNA mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient colon and prostate cancer cell lines after alkylation and UV-C damage. We show that although these MMR-deficient cells tolerate alkylation damage, they are as sensitive to UV-C-induced damage as are the MMR-proficient cells. MMR-proficient cells arrest in the S-G2 phase of the cell cycle and initiate apoptosis following alkylation damage, whereas MMR-deficient cells continue proliferation. However, two prostate cancer cell lines that are MMR-deficient surprisingly arrest transiently in S-G2 after alkylation damage. Progression through G1 phase initially depends on the expression of one or more of the D-type cyclins (D1, D2, and/or D3). Analysis of cyclin D1 expression shows an initial MMR-independent decrease in the protein level after alkylation as well as UV-C damage. At later time points, however, only DNA damage-arrested cells showed decreased cyclin D1 levels irrespective of MMR status, indicating that reduced cyclin D1 could be a result of a smaller fraction of cells being in G1 phase rather than a result of an intact MMR system. Finally, we show that cyclin D1 is degraded by the proteasome in response to alkylation damage.     

Cyclin D1b induces changes in the macrophage phenotype resulting in promotion of tumor metastasis

In breast cancer, tumor-associated macrophages with activated phenotypes promote tumor invasion and metastasis. The more aggressive mesenchymal-like breast cancer cells have a selective advantage, skewing macrophages toward the more immunosuppressive subtype. However, the mechanism underlying this shift is poorly understood. Cyclin D1b is a highly oncogenic variant of cyclin D1. Our previous study showed that non-metastatic epithelial-like breast cancer cells were highly metastatic in vivo when cyclin D1b was overexpressed. The present study determined whether cyclin D1b contributed to the interaction between breast cancer cells and macrophages. The results showed that cyclin D1b promoted the invasion of breast cancer cells in vitro. Specifically, through overexpression of cyclin D1b, breast cancer cells regulated the differentiation of macrophages into a more immunosuppressive M2 phenotype. Notably, tumor cells overexpressing cyclin D1b activated macrophages and induced migration of breast cancer cells. Further investigations indicated that SDF-1 mediated macrophage activation through breast cancer cells overexpressing cyclin D1b. These results revealed a previously unknown link between aggressive breast cancer cells and Tumor-associated macrophages, and highlighted the importance of cyclin D1b activity in the breast cancer microenvironment.

Cyclin D1 activation through ATF-2 in Reg-induced pancreatic beta-cell regeneration

Regenerating gene product (Reg) is induced in pancreatic beta-cells and acts as an autocrine/paracrine growth factor for regeneration via a cell surface Reg receptor. However, the manner by which Reg induces beta-cell regeneration was unknown. In the present study, we found that Reg increased phospho-ATF-2, which binds to -57 to -52 of the cyclin D1 gene to activate the promoter. The Reg/ATF-2-induced cyclin D1 promoter activation was attenuated by PI(3)K inhibitors such as LY294002 and wortmannin. In Reg knockout mouse islets, the levels of phospho-ATF-2, cyclin D1, and phospho-Rb were greatly decreased. These results indicate that the Reg-Reg receptor system stimulates the PI(3)K/ATF-2/cyclin D1 signaling pathway to induce beta-cell regeneration.     

Kainate-Induced Apoptosis in Cultured Murine Cerebellar Granule Cells Elevates Expression of the Cell Cycle Gene Cyclin D1

Abstract: Recent evidence suggests that neuronal apoptosis is the consequence of an inappropriate reentry into the cell cycle. Expression of the cell cycle gene cyclin D1, a G1-phase cell cycle regulator, was examined in primary cultures of murine cerebellar granule cells (CGCs) during kainate (KA)-mediated apoptosis. Using cultures of CGCs, we found that a 24-h exposure to KA (1–3,000 µ M ) induced a concentration-dependent cell death with neurons exhibiting characteristic apoptotic morphology and extensive labeling using the terminal transferase-mediated nick end-DNA labeling (TUNEL) method. KA induced a time- and concentration-dependent increase in expression of cyclin D1 as determined by immunocytochemistry and western blot analysis. KA-induced apoptosis and cyclin D1 expression exhibited a similar concentration dependence and were significantly attenuated by the non-NMDA receptor antagonist 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (50 µ M ), indicating a KA receptor-mediated effect. Here we present evidence for the first time that KA-induced apoptosis in cultured CGCs involves the induction of cyclin D1, suggesting its involvement in excitotoxic receptor-mediated apoptosis.     

Cyclin D1 down-regulation is essential for DBC2's tumor suppressor function

The expression of tumor suppressor gene DBC2 causes certain breast cancer cells to stop growing [M. Hamaguchi, J.L. Meth, C. Von Klitzing, W. Wei, D. Esposito, L. Rodgers, T. Walsh, P. Welcsh, M.C. King, M.H. Wigler, DBC2, a candidate for a tumor suppressor gene involved in breast cancer, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 99 (2002) 13647-13652]. Recently, DBC2 was found to participate in diverse cellular functions such as protein transport, cytoskeleton regulation, apoptosis, and cell cycle control [V. Siripurapu, J.L. Meth, N. Kobayashi, M. Hamaguchi, DBC2 significantly influences cell cycle, apoptosis, cytoskeleton, and membrane trafficking pathways. J. Mol. Biol. 346 (2005) 83-89]. Its tumor suppression mechanism, however, remains unclear. In this paper, we demonstrate that DBC2 suppresses breast cancer proliferation through down-regulation of Cyclin D1 (CCND1). Additionally, the constitutional overexpression of CCND1 prevented the negative impact of DBC2 expression on their growth. Under a CCND1 promoter, the expression of CCNE1 exhibited the same protective effect. Our results indicate that the down-regulation of CCND1 is an essential step for DBC2's growth suppression of cancer cells. We believe that this discovery contributes to a better understanding of DBC2's tumor suppressor function.

Repression of Cyclin D1 Expression Is Necessary for the Maintenance of Cell Cycle Exit in Adult Mammalian Cardiomyocytes

The hearts of neonatal mice and adult zebrafish can regenerate after injury through proliferation of preexisting cardiomyocytes. However, adult mammals are not capable of cardiac regeneration because almost all cardiomyocytes exit their cell cycle. Exactly how the cell cycle exit is maintained and how many adult cardiomyocytes have the potential to reenter the cell cycle are unknown. The expression and activation levels of main cyclin-cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) complexes are extremely low or undetectable at adult stages. The nuclear DNA content of almost all cardiomyocytes is 2C, indicating the cell cycle exit from G₁-phase. Here, we induced expression of cyclin D1, which regulates the progression of G1-phase, only in differentiated cardiomyocytes of adult mice. In these cardiomyocytes, S-phase marker-positive cardiomyocytes and the expression of main cyclins and CDKs increased remarkably, although cyclin B1-CDK1 activation was inhibited in an ATM/ATR-independent manner. The phosphorylation pattern of CDK1 and expression pattern of Cdc25 subtypes suggested that a deficiency in the increase in Cdc25 (a and -b), which is required for M-phase entry, inhibited the cyclin B1-CDK1 activation. Finally, analysis of cell cycle distribution patterns showed that >40% of adult mouse cardiomyocytes reentered the cell cycle by the induction of cyclin D1. The cell cycle of these binucleated cardiomyocytes was arrested before M-phase, and many mononucleated cardiomyocytes entered endoreplication. These data indicate that silencing the cyclin D1 expression is necessary for the maintenance of the cell cycle exit and suggest a mechanism that involves inhibition of M-phase entry.     

Cyclin D involvement demarcates a late transition in C. elegans embryogenesis

During development, progression through the cell cycle must be coordinately regulated with cellular differentiation. Despite significant progress in identifying genes required independently for each of these processes, the molecules which facilitate this cross talk have for the most part been elusive. Using the six macrophage-like coelomocytes of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system to gain insight into the mesodermal differentiation pathway, we have isolated a set of mutants that alter coelomocyte numbers. One of these mutations, cc600, apparently results from a partial loss-of-function in the C. elegans cyclin D gene, cyd-1. The mutant has coelomocyte-specific defects without changes in other lineages. The mutants show that cell growth, terminal differentiation and cellular function proceed in the absence of cyd-1 activity and cell division. The results suggest that certain mesodermal lineages may be uniquely affected by changes in cyd-1 activity.     

Differential regulation of cyclin D1 and D3 expression in the control of astrocyte proliferation induced by endothelin-1

We have previously shown that the mitogenic effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in primary astrocytes is dependent on activation of both extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)- and cytoskeleton (CSK)-dependent pathways. In this study, we evaluated the contribution of each of these pathways to the expression and activation of proteins mediating cell cycle progression. Our results suggest that ET-1-induced expression of cyclins D1 and D3 is dependent on the ERK- and CSK-dependent pathways, respectively; moreover, a decrease in the levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CKI) p27 was observed as a consequence of ERK activation. Expression of both cyclins D1 and D3 together with a decrease in the p27 levels are essential for retinoblastoma protein (pRB) phosphorylation and cyclin A expression. Furthermore, the molecular events responsible for cell-cell contact inhibition of astrocyte proliferation were found to be independent of the mitogenic pathways leading to D-type cyclin expression. Cell growth arrest in confluent astrocytes was found to be correlated with increased expression of CKI p21, resulting in inhibition of D-type cyclin-associated pRB phosphorylation and cyclin A expression. Taken together, these results indicate that cyclins D1 and D3, which constitute the key mediators of the proliferative response of primary astrocytes to ET-1, are regulated by distinct signaling pathways.
