Oncogenic RAS mutants such as v-Ha-RAS induce cell cycling, in particular the G1 to S transition, by up-regulating cyclin D1 and down-regulating p27, an inhibitor for cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). PI-3 kinase appears to be involved in the regulation of both cyclin D1 and p27. In this report, using two distinct inhibitors specific for PAK1-3 (CEP-1347 and WR-PAK18), we present the first evidence indicating that the PIX/Rac/CDC42-dependent Ser/Thr kinases PAK1-3, acting downstream of PI-3 kinase and up-stream of the Raf/MEK/ERKs kinase cascade, is essential for RAS-induced up-regulation of cyclin D1, but not down-regulation of p27. Since these PAK-inhibitors block selectively the malignant growth of RAS transformants, in which PAK1 is constitutively activated, but not normal cell growth, it is suggested that RAS transformants are addicted to the high levels of PAK1 for their malignant entry to S phase. 相似文献

The family of p21-activated kinases (PAKs) have been implicated in the rearrangement of actin cytoskeleton by acting downstream of the small GTPases Rac and Cdc42. Here we report that even though Cdc42/Rac1 or Akt are not activated, phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI-3) kinase activation induces PAK1 kinase activity. Indeed, we demonstrate that PI-3 kinase associates with the N-terminal regulatory domain of PAK1 (amino acids 67-150) leading to PAK1 activation. The association of the PI-3 kinase with the Cdc42/Rac1 binding-deficient PAK1(H83,86L) confirms that the small GTPases are not involved in the PI-3 kinase-PAK1 interaction. Furthermore, PAK1 was activated in cells expressing the dominant-negative forms of Cdc42 or Rac1. Additionally, we show that PAK1 phosphorylates actin, resulting in the dissolution of stress fibers and redistribution of microfilaments. The phosphorylation of actin was inhibited by the kinase-dead PAK1(K299R) or the PAK1 autoinhibitory domain (PAK1(83-149)), indicating that PAK1 was responsible for actin phosphorylation. We conclude that the association of PI-3 kinase with PAK1 regulates PAK1 kinase activity through a Cdc42/Rac1-independent mechanism leading to actin phosphorylation and cytoskeletal reorganization. 相似文献

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K) has been linked to promitogenic responses in splenic B cells following B cell Ag receptor (BCR) cross-linking; however identification of the signaling intermediates that link PI-3K activity to the cell cycle remains incomplete. We show that cyclin D2 induction is blocked by the PI-3K inhibitors wortmannin and LY294002, which coincides with impaired BCR-mediated mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-related kinase kinase (MEK)1/2 and p42/44ERK phosphorylation on activation residues. Cyclin D2 induction is virtually absent in B lymphocytes from mice deficient in the class I(A) PI-3K p85alpha regulatory subunit. In contrast to studies with PI-3K inhibitors, which inhibit all classes of PI-3Ks, the p85alpha regulatory subunit is not required for BCR-induced MEK1/2 and p42/44ERK phosphorylation, suggesting the contribution of another PI-3K family members in MEK1/2 and p42/44ERK activation. However, p85alpha(-/-) splenic B cells are defective in BCR-induced IkappaB kinase beta and IkappaBalpha phosphorylation. We demonstrate that NF-kappaB signaling is required for cyclin D2 induction via the BCR in normal B cells, implicating a possible link with the defective IkappaB kinase beta and IkappaBalpha phosphorylation in p85alpha(-/-) splenic B cells and their ability to induce cyclin D2. These results indicate that MEK1/2-p42/44ERK and NF-kappaB pathways link PI-3K activity to Ag receptor-mediated cyclin D2 induction in splenic B cells. 相似文献

Adhesion-dependent cell cycle progression linked to the expression of cyclin D1, activation of cyclin E-cdk2, and phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein 总被引:21,自引:2,他引:19
《The Journal of cell biology》1996,133(2):391-403
Growth factors and cell anchorage jointly regulate transit through G1 in almost all cell types, but the cell cycle basis for this combined requirement remains largely uncharacterized. We show here that cell adhesion and growth factors jointly regulate the cyclin D1- and E- dependent kinases. Adhesion to substratum regulates both the induction and translation of cyclin D1 mRNA. Nonadherent cells fail to phosphorylate the retinoblastoma protein (Rb), and enforced expression of cyclin D1 rescues Rb phosphorylation and entry into S phase when G1 cells are cultured in the absence of substratum. Nonadherent cells also fail to activate the cyclin E-associated kinase, and this effect can be linked to an increased association of the cdk inhibitors, p21 and p27. These data describe a striking convergence in the cell cycle controls used by the two major signal transduction systems responsible for normal and abnormal cell growth. Taken together with our previous studies showing adhesion-dependent expression of cyclin A, they also establish the cell cycle basis for explaining the combined requirement for growth factors and the extracellular matrix in transit through the Rb checkpoint, entry into S phase, and anchorage-dependent growth. 相似文献

Retinoids are promising agents for the prevention and treatment of several human malignancies including lung cancer. In this study, the effect of retinoic acid (RA) on cell growth and the mechanism of growth modulation were examined in human lung squamous carcinoma CH27 cells. Here we report that RA mediated the dose- and time-dependent growth arrest in G1 phase, accompanied by the up-regulation of p27(Kip1) and the down-regulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase 3 (Cdk3) and p21(CIP1/Waf1) proteins. Furthermore, RA-induced growth arrest of CH27 cells was also associated with increased retinoic acid receptor beta (RARbeta) and reduced c-Myc expression. However, RA had no effect on the levels of cyclins A, D1, D3, E, or H, or on Cdk2, Cdk4, Cdk5, CDk6, Cdk7, p16(Ink4A), p15(Ink4B), p53, or pRb proteins in CH27 cells. Evaluation of the kinase activity of cyclin-Cdk complexes showed that RA increases p27(Kip1) expression in CH27 cells leading to markedly reduced cyclin A/Cdk2 kinase activity and slightly reduced cyclin E/Cdk2 kinase activity, with no effect on cyclin D/Cdk4 and cyclin D/Cdk6 activities. Moreover, coincident with the decrease in kinase activity was a drastic increase in cyclin A-bound p27(Kip1). These results suggest that increases in the levels of p27(Kip1) and its binding to cyclin A, as well as reduction of Cdk3 protein expression, are strong candidates for the cell cycle regulator that prevents the entry into the S phase in RA-treated CH27 cells, with prolongation of G1 phase and inhibition of DNA synthesis. 相似文献

Bovine type I collagen (BIC), which is widely used as a fibrous extracellular matrix component in cell culture models, inhibits the progression of melanoma cell cycle via p27 up-regulation. BIC also induces nitric oxide synthase in macrophages through JunB/AP-1 and NF-kappaB activation. Given the previous observations, this study investigates the effect of BIC on the cell cycle progression and regulatory function of Raw264.7 macrophage cells and the responsible signaling pathways. Cell cycle analysis revealed that BIC completely suppressed proliferation of Raw264.7 cells with inhibition of the percentage of cells in the S phase and the reciprocal decrease in the G0/G1 phase. DNA synthesis was also inhibited by BIC, as evidenced by a decrease in the cellular incorporation of [3H]thymidine. The G1/S arrest induced by BIC was reversed by chemical inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) or overexpression of the p85 subunit of PI3-kinase. Either PD98059 or stable transfection with mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase-1 [MKK1(-)] or c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 [JNK1(-)] also released the cell cycle arrest. Immunoblot analyses revealed that the levels of cyclins D1, A and B1 were partly or completely down-regulated by BIC, but cyclin E, p21 and p27 were minimally changed. Chemical inhibition and dominant negative mutant overexpression experiments revealed that either PI3-kinase inhibition or JNK1(-) transfection prevented the decreases in cyclin D1, A and B1 by BIC, indicating that the PI3-kinase and JNK1 pathways were associated with disruption of the cyclins. The pathway involving MKK1-extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 (ERK1/2) was responsible for the suppression of cyclin A and B1, but not that of cyclin D1. The present study showed that BIC inhibited proliferation of Raw264.7 cells and that the pathways involving PI3-kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinases regulate the cell cycle arrest. 相似文献

Exposure to silica is associated with progressive pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. Our previous study had demonstrated silica exposure could cause cell cycle alternation and activator protein-1 (AP-1) activation. This study showed that silica exposure induced phosphorylation of p70S6 kinase (p70S6K) and Akt in human embryo lung fibroblasts (HELFs). These changes were blocked by overexpression of dominant-negative mutants of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (Δp85) or Akt (DN-Akt), respectively. Moreover, pretreatment of cells with rapamycin, a specific p70S6K inhibitor, could inhibit silica-induced cell cycle alteration, AP-1 activation, and phosphorylation of p70S6K, but had no effect on Akt phosphorylation. This suggested that phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3K)/AP-1 pathway was likely responsible for cell cycle changes. Furthermore, we observed the effect of the pathway on cell cycle regulatory proteins. Our results indicated that inactivation of PI-3K, Akt, or p70S6K could inhibit silica-induced overexpression of cyclin D1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and decreased expression of E2F-4. Taken together, silica could induce cell cycle changes through PI-3K/ AP-1 pathway in HELFs. 相似文献

PDK1 (3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1) is a key mediator of signaling by phosphoinositide 3-kinase. To gain insight into the physiological importance of PDK1 in cell proliferation and cell cycle control, we established immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from mice homozygous for a "floxed" allele of Pdk1 and from wild-type mice. Introduction of Cre recombinase by retrovirus-mediated gene transfer resulted in the depletion of PDK1 in Pdk1(lox/lox) MEFs but not in Pdk1(+/+) MEFs. The insulin-like growth factor-1-induced phosphorylation of various downstream effectors of PDK1, including Akt, glycogen synthase kinase 3, ribosomal protein S6, and p70 S6 kinase, was markedly inhibited in the PDK1-depleted (Pdk1-KO) MEFs. The rate of serum-induced cell proliferation was reduced; progression of the cell cycle from the G(0)-G(1) phase to the S phase was delayed, and cell cycle progression at G(2)-M phase was impaired in Pdk1-KO MEFs. These cells also manifested an increased level of p27(Kip1) expression and a reduced level of cyclin D1 expression during cell cycle progression. The defect in cell cycle progression from the G(0)-G(1) to the S phase in Pdk1-KO MEFs was rescued by forced expression of cyclin D1, whereas rescue of the defect in G(2)-M progression in these cells required both overexpression of cyclin D1 and depletion of p27(Kip1) by RNA interference. These data indicate that PDK1 plays an important role in cell proliferation and cell cycle progression by controlling the expression of both cyclin D1 and p27(Kip1). 相似文献

Introduction of the E1A early region of the human adenovirus type 5 impairs the ability of mammalian cells to arrest the cell cycle at G1/S after damage. Two-parameter fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS) with iododeoxyuridine revealed the radiation-induced G1/S arrest in rat embryo fibroblasts transformed with the complementing E1A + E1B-19 kDa oncogenes. This was due to selective inhibition of CycIE/Cdk2-associated kinase activity, while activities of type 2 kinase and of CyclA/Cdk2 complexes remained unchanged. The inhibitor of G1-phase cyclin kinases, p21/Waf1, was accumulated and interacted with target kinases both in normal and in transformed cells after irradiation. As shown by immunoprecipitation, p21/Waf1 formed complexes with the E1A on coproducts in the transformants, which possibly accounted for its functional inactivation. Kinase modification in cyclin-kinase complexes was assumed to play a key role in regulation of cyclin-dependent kinases in the transformants with inactivated p21/Waf1. 相似文献

ErbB2/Neu destabilizes the cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) inhibitor p27 and increases expression of cyclin D1. Therefore, we studied the roles of p27 and cyclin D1 in ErbB2-mediated mammary epithelial cell transformation. Overexpression of ErbB2 or cyclin D1 in p27(+/-) primary murine mammary epithelial cells resulted in increased proliferation, cyclin D1 nuclear localization, and colony formation in soft agar compared to those in p27(+/+) cells. In contrast, ErbB2- or cyclin D1-overexpressing p27(-/-) cells displayed reduced proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, Cdk4 activity, cyclin D1 expression, and cyclin D1 nuclear localization compared to wild-type cells. A cyclin D1 mutation in its nuclear export sequence (T286A) partially rescued nuclear localization of cyclin D1 in p27(-/-) cells but did not increase proliferation or Cdk4 kinase activity. Overexpression of E2F1, however, increased proliferation to the same degree in p27(+/+), p27(+/-), and p27(-/-) cells. Mammary glands from MMTV (mouse mammary tumor virus)-neu/p27(+/-) mice exhibited alveolar hyperplasia, enhanced proliferation, decreased apoptosis, and accelerated tumor formation compared to MMTV-neu/p27(+/+) glands. However, MMTV-neu/p27(-/-) glands showed decreased proliferation, cyclin D1 expression, and Cdk4 activity, as well as markedly prolonged tumor latency, compared to MMTV-neu/p27(+/+) glands. These results suggest that p27(+/-) mammary epithelium may be more susceptible to oncogene-induced tumorigenesis, whereas p27-null glands, due to severely impaired cyclin D1/Cdk4 function, are more resistant to transformation. 相似文献

p27 mediates Cdk2 inhibition and is also found in cyclin D1-Cdk4 complexes. The present data support a role for p27 in the assembly of D-type cyclin-Cdk complexes and indicate that both cyclin D1-Cdk4-p27 assembly and kinase activation are regulated by p27 phosphorylation. Prior work showed that p27 can be phosphorylated by protein kinase B/Akt (PKB/Akt) at T157 and T198. Here we show that PKB activation and the appearance of p27pT157 and p27pT198 precede p27-cyclin D1-Cdk4 assembly in early G1. PI3K/PKB inhibition rapidly reduced p27pT157 and p27pT198 and dissociated cellular p27-cyclin D1-Cdk4. Mutant p27 allele products lacking phosphorylation at T157 and T198 bound poorly to cellular cyclin D1 and Cdk4. Cellular p27pT157 and p27pT198 coprecipitated with Cdk4 but were not detected in Cdk2 complexes. The addition of p27 to recombinant cyclin D1 and Cdk4 led to cyclin D1-Cdk4-p27 complex formation in vitro. p27 phosphorylation by PKB increased p27-cyclin D1-Cdk4 assembly in vitro but yielded inactive Cdk4. In contrast, Src pretreatment of p27 did not affect p27-cyclin D1-Cdk4 complex formation. However, Src treatment led to tyrosine phosphorylation of p27 and catalytic activation of assembled cyclin D1-Cdk4-p27 complexes. Thus, while PKB-dependent p27 phosphorylation appears to increase cyclin D1-Cdk4-p27 assembly or stabilize these complexes in vitro, cyclin D1-Cdk4-p27 activation requires the tyrosine phosphorylation of p27. Constitutive activation of PKB and Abl or Src family kinases in cancers would drive p27 phosphorylation, increase cyclin D1-Cdk4 assembly and activation, and reduce the cyclin E-Cdk2 inhibitory function of p27. Combined therapy with both Src and PI3K/PKB inhibitors may reverse this process. 相似文献

Cyclin/cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) are critical protein kinases in regulating cell cycle progression. Among them, cyclin D1/Cdk4 exerts its function mainly in the G1 phase. By using the tandem affinity purification tag approach, we identified a set of proteins interacting with Cdk4, including NDR1/2. Interestingly, confirming the interactions between NDR1/2 and cyclin D1/Cdk4, we observed that NDR1/2 interacted with cyclin D1 independent of Cdk4, but NDR1/2 and cyclin D1/Cdk4 did not phosphorylate each other. In addition, we found that NDR1/2 did not affect the kinase activity of cyclin D1/Cdk4 upon phosphorylation of GST-Rb. However, cyclin D1 but not Cdk4 promoted the kinase activity of NDR1/2. We also demonstrated that cyclin D1 K112E, which could not bind Cdk4, enhanced the kinase activity of NDR1/2. To test whether cyclin D1 promotes G1/S transition though enhancing NDR1/2 kinase activity, we performed flow cytometry analysis using cyclin D1 and cyclin D1 K112E Tet-On inducible cell lines. The data show that both cyclin D1 and cyclin D1 K112E promoted G1/S transition. Importantly, knockdown of NDR1/2 almost completely abolished the function of cyclin D1 K112E in promoting G1/S transition. Consistently, we found that the protein level of p21 was reduced in cells overexpressing cyclin D1 K112E but not when NDR1/2 was knocked down. Taken together, these results reveal a novel function of cyclin D1 in promoting cell cycle progression by enhancing NDR kinase activity independent of Cdk4. 相似文献

Evaluation of the kinase activity of cyclin–Cdk complexes showed that RA increases p27Kip1 expression in CH27 cells leading to markedly reduced cyclin A/Cdk2 kinase activity and slightly reduced cyclin E/Cdk2 kinase activity, with no effect on cyclin D/Cdk4 and cyclin D/Cdk6 activities.

Involvement of p21(WAF1/Cip1) and p27(Kip1) in intestinal epithelial cell differentiation 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Using theconditionally immortalized human cell line tsFHI, we have investigatedthe role of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs) in intestinalepithelial cell differentiation. Expression of cyclins,cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk), and CKIs was examined under conditionspromoting growth, growth arrest, or expression of differentiatedtraits. Formation of complexes among cell cycle regulatory proteins andtheir kinase activities were also investigated. The tsFHI cells expressthree CKIs: p16, p21, and p27. With differentiation, p21 and p27 werestrongly induced, but with different kinetics: the p21 increase wasrapid but transient and the p27 increase was delayed but sustained. Ourresults suggest that the function of p16 is primarily to inhibit cyclinD-associated kinases, making tsFHI cells dependent on cyclin E-Cdk2 forpRb phosphorylation and G1/Sprogression. Furthermore, they indicate that p21 is the main CKIinvolved in irreversible growth arrest during the early stages of celldifferentiation in association with D-type cyclins, cyclin E, and Cdk2,whereas p27 may induce or stabilize expression of differentiated traitsacting independently of cyclin-Cdk function. 相似文献

The Raf family of protein kinases display differences in their abilities to promote the entry of quiescent NIH 3T3 cells into the S phase of the cell cycle. Although conditional activation of deltaA-Raf:ER promoted cell cycle progression, activation of deltaRaf-1:ER and deltaB-Raf:ER elicited a G1 arrest that was not overcome by exogenously added growth factors. Activation of all three deltaRaf:ER kinases led to elevated expression of cyclin D1 and cyclin E and reduced expression of p27Kip1. However, activation of deltaB-Raf:ER and deltaRaf-1:ER induced the expression of p21Cip1, whereas activation of deltaA-Raf:ER did not. A catalytically potentiated form of deltaA-Raf:ER, generated by point mutation, strongly induced p21Cip1 expression and elicited cell cycle arrest similarly to deltaB-Raf:ER and deltaRaf-1:ER. These data suggested that the strength and duration of signaling by Raf kinases might influence the biological outcome of activation of this pathway. By titration of deltaB-Raf:ER activity we demonstrated that low levels of Raf activity led to activation of cyclin D1-cdk4 and cyclin E-cdk2 complexes and to cell cycle progression whereas higher Raf activity elicited cell cycle arrest correlating with p21Cip1 induction and inhibition of cyclin-cdk activity. Using green fluorescent protein-tagged forms of deltaRaf-1:ER in primary mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) we demonstrated that p21Cip1 was induced by Raf in a p53-independent manner, leading to cell cycle arrest. By contrast, activation of Raf in p21Cip1(-/-) MEFs led to a robust mitogenic response that was similar to that observed in response to platelet-derived growth factor. These data indicate that, depending on the level of kinase activity, Raf can elicit either cell cycle progression or cell cycle arrest in mouse fibroblasts. The ability of Raf to elicit cell cycle arrest is strongly associated with its ability to induce the expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21Cip1 in a manner that bears analogy to alpha-factor arrest in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These data are consistent with a role for Raf kinases in both proliferation and differentiation of mammalian cells. 相似文献

Introduction of the E1A early region of the human adenovirus type 5 impairs the ability of mammalian cells to stop in the cell cycle at G1/S after damage. Two-parameter fluorescence cell sorting with iododeoxyuridine revealed the radiation-induced G1/S arrest in rat embryo fibroblasts transformed with the complementing E1A and E1B-19kDa oncogenes. This was due to selective inhibition of CyclE/Cdk2-associated kinase activity, while activities of type 2 kinase and of CyclA/Cdk2 complexes remained unchanged. The inhibitor of G1-phase cyclin kinases, p21/Waf1, was accumulated and interacted with target kinases both in normal and in transformed cells after irradiation. As shown by immunoprecipitation, p21/Waf1 formed complexes with the E1A oncoproducts in the transformants, which possibly accounted for its functional inactivation. Kinase modification in cyclin–kinase complexes was assumed to play a key role in regulation of cyclin-dependent kinases in the transformants with inactivated p21/Waf1. 相似文献

Exposure of hematopoietic cells to DNA-damaging agents induces p53-independent cell cycle arrest at a G(1) checkpoint. Previously, we have shown that this growth arrest can be overridden by cytokine growth factors, such as erythropoietin or interleukin-3, through activation of a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase)/Akt-dependent signaling pathway. Here, we show that gamma-irradiated murine myeloid 32D cells arrest in G(1) with active cyclin D-cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4) but with inactive cyclin E-Cdk2 kinases. The arrest was associated with elevated levels of the Cdk inhibitors p21(Cip1) and p27(Kip1), yet neither was associated with Cdk2. Instead, irradiation-induced inhibition of cyclin E-Cdk2 correlated with absence of the activating threonine-160 phosphorylation on Cdk2. Cytokine treatment of irradiated cells induced Cdk2 phosphorylation and activation, and cells entered into S phase despite sustained high-level expression of p21 and p27. Notably, the PI 3-kinase inhibitor, LY294002, completely blocked cytokine-induced Cdk2 activation and cell growth in irradiated 32D cells but not in nonirradiated cells. Together, these findings demonstrate a novel mechanism underlying the DNA damage-induced G(1) arrest of hematopoietic cells, that is, inhibition of Cdk2 phosphorylation and activation. These observations link PI 3-kinase signaling pathways with the regulation of Cdk2 activity. 相似文献
