The dynamic balance between polymerization and depolymerization of microtubules is critical for cells to enter and exit mitosis, and drugs that disrupt this balance, such as taxol, colchicine, and nocodazole, arrest the cell cycle in mitosis. Although the Raf/MEK/MAPK pathway can be activated by these drugs, its role in mitosis has not been addressed. Here, we characterize activation of Raf/MEK/MAPK by nocodazole when mitosis is induced. We find that at early time points (up to 3 h) in nocodazole induction, Raf/MEK/MAPK is activated, and inhibition of MAPK activation by a MEK inhibitor, PD98059 or U0126, reduces the number of cells entering mitosis by creating a block at G(2). At later time points and in mitosis, activation of MEK/MAPK is severely inhibited, even though Raf-1 activity remains high and can be further increased by growth factor. This inhibition is reversed when cells are released from metaphase and enter G(0)/G(1) phase. In addition, we find that binding of Raf-1 to 14-3-3 is progressively induced by nocodazole, reaching a maximum in mitosis, and that this binding is necessary to maintain mitotic Raf-1 activity. Our present study indicates that activation of the Raf/MEK/MAPK pathway is necessary for the G(2)/M progression. 相似文献

The restriction point (R) is defined as the point in G(1) after which cells can complete a division cycle without growth factors and divides G(1) into two physiologically different intervals in cycling cells, G(1)-pm (a postmitotic interval with a constant length of 3 to 4 h) and G(1)-ps (a pre-DNA-synthetic interval with a variable length of 1 to 10 h). Cyclin E is a G(1) regulatory protein whose accumulation has been suggested to be critical for passage through R. We have studied cyclin E protein levels in individual cells of asynchronously growing cell populations, with respect to both passage through R and entry into S phase. We found that the postmitotic G(1) cells that had not yet reached R were negative for cyclin E accumulation. On the other hand, cells that had passed R were found to accumulate cyclin E at variable times (1 to 8 h) after passage through R and 2 to 5 h before entry into S. These kinetic data rule out the hypothesis that passage through R is dependent on the accumulation of cyclin E but suggest, instead, the converse, that passage through R is a prerequisite for cyclin E accumulation. Furthermore, we found that most of the cyclin E protein is downregulated within 1 to 2 h after entry into S. 相似文献

In medium supplemented with defibrinogenated, platelet-poor human plasma and a low molecular weight growth factor derived from human platelets (PDGF), Swiss 3T3 cells proliferate exponentially with the same cell cycle kinetics as cells cultured in medium supplemented with commercial calf serum. Removal of PDGF from the culture medium arrests proliferating cells in a stable, reversible G0/G1 quiescent state. This arrested state is similar to the known quiescent state induced by deprivation of calf serum in cell exit kinetics and cytoplasmic proteins synthesized. Cells are sensitive to PDGF deprivation only at the beginning of G1. Reduction of the plasma concentration in the culture medium also arrests cells in G1. The resulting arrested population is unstable and exhibits progressive cell death. Reduced levels of plasma block cellular transit through the cell cycle at a median time of approx. 2.1 h following mitosis, approx. 3.3 h prior to S phase initiation. In addition to being required by cycling cells, plasma associated factors are required to maintain G1 cells blocked by PDGF deprivation in a stable quiescent state. Establishment of a stable, viable G0/G1 growth-arrested state, therefore, apparently involves two distinct processes: arrest of cellular proliferation in G1 and stabilization of the arrested cells in a viable quiescent state. Together with previously reported findings on serum and isoleucine starvation, these results provide a temporal map of growth control points in the G1 phase. 相似文献

Cell cycle progression of somatic cells depends on net mass accumulation. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the cAMP-dependent kinases (PKAs) promote cytoplasmic growth and modulate the growth-regulated mechanism triggering the begin of DNA synthesis. By altering the cAMP signal in budding yeast cells we show here that mitotic events can also depend on growth. In fact, the hyperactivation of PKAs permanently inhibited both anaphase and exit from mitosis when cell growth was repressed. In S. cerevisiae the anaphase promoting complex (APC) triggers entry into anaphase by mediating the degradation of Pds1p. The cAMP pathway activation was lethal together with a partial impairment of the Cdc16p APC subunit, causing a preanaphase arrest, and conversely low PKA activity suppressed the lethality of cdc16-1 cells. Deregulated PKAs partially prevented the decrease of Pds1p intracellular levels concomitantly with the anaphase inhibition, and the PKA-dependent preanaphase arrest could be suppressed in pds1(-) cells. Thus, the cAMP pathway and APC functionally interact in S. cerevisiae and Pds1p is required for the cAMP-mediated inhibition of chromosome separation. Exit from mitosis requires APC, Cdc15p, and the polo-like Cdc5p kinase. PKA hyperactivation and a cdc15 mutation were synthetically lethal and brought to a telophase arrest. Finally, a low cAMP signal allowed cell division at a small cell size and suppressed the lethality of cdc15-2 or cdc5-1 cells. We propose that mitosis progression and the M/G1 phase transition specifically depend on cell growth through a mechanism modulated by PKAs and interacting with the APC/CDC15/CDC5 mitotic system. A possible functional antagonism between PKAs and the mitosis promoting factor is also discussed. 相似文献

Cell cycle regulation of human diploid fibroblasts: possible mechanisms of platelet-derived growth factor 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Cell-cycle regulation of human diploid fibroblasts (HDF) is located in the proximal half of G1, designated G1-pm (G1-postmitosis). In order to traverse this subphase, cells require serum factors or PDGF. However, when cells have traversed into the distal half of G1, designated G1-ps (G1-pre-DNA synthesis), they become independent of serum or PDGF and progress through the remainder of the cell cycle at an invariable rate. From this, it follows that a specific G1-pm block can be induced by serum depletion. A similar G1-pm block could also be induced by a moderate inhibition of overall protein synthesis following treatment with CHM. Even this block could be prevented by the addition of PDGF, suggesting that a high level of protein synthesis in itself is not necessary for sustaining cell-cycle traverse. Nevertheless, a critical accumulation of some specific proteins might be required for the G1-pm/G1-ps-transition. However, the underlying mechanisms of modulation of the accumulation of such proteins by PDGF must involve alternative regulatory events (e.g., gene expression, protein stabilization) rather than protein synthesis. Among the possible cell cycle-regulatory proteins, the present study focused on 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase. This enzyme is regulated by various kinds of control mechanisms and regulates the biosynthesis of sterols and nonsterol isoprenes, some of which are proposed to be necessary for mammalian cell growth (Brown and Goldstein, 1980). The present results suggest that regulation of HMG CoA reductase may be involved in the control of the G1-pm/G1-ps-progression in HDF. 相似文献

Cell cycle checkpoints guard against the inappropriate commitment to critical cell events such as mitosis. The bisdioxopiperazine ICRF-193, a catalytic inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase II, causes a reversible stalling of the exit of cells from G2 at the decatenation checkpoint (DC) and can generate tetraploidy via the compromising of chromosome segregation and mitotic failure. We have addressed an alternative origin – endocycle entry - for the tetraploidisation step in ICRF-193 exposed cells. Here we show that DC-proficient p53-functional tumour cells can undergo a transition to tetraploidy and subsequent aneuploidy via an initial bypass of mitosis and the mitotic spindle checkpoint. DC-deficient SV40-tranformed cells move exclusively through mitosis to tetraploidy. In p53-functional tumour cells, escape through mitosis is enhanced by dominant negative p53 co-expression. The mitotic bypass transition phase (termed G2endo) disconnects cyclin B1 degradation from nuclear envelope breakdown and allows cells to evade the action of Taxol. G2endo constitutes a novel and alternative cell cycle phase - lasting some 8 h - with distinct molecular motifs at its boundaries for G2 exit and subsequent entry into a delayed G1 tetraploid state. The results challenge the paradigm that checkpoint breaching leads directly to abnormal ploidy states via mitosis alone. We further propose that the induction of bypass could: facilitate the covert development of tetraploidy in p53 functional cancers, lead to a misinterpretation of phase allocation during cell cycle arrest and contribute to tumour cell drug resistance. 相似文献

Regulation of the product of a possible human cell cycle control gene CDC2Hs in B-cells by alpha-interferon and phorbol ester 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The product of the cell cycle control gene cdc2 is required in yeast for transition through both G1 and G2 control points of the cell cycle. The homologous protein in higher eukaryotes has been shown to be a component of the mitosis promoting factor complex and may thus regulate entry through the G2 control point into mitosis. It is suggested from the work presented here that, as in yeast, the human CDC2Hs gene product (p34CDC2Hs) may also play a role in cell cycle control in the G1(G0) phase of the cell cycle. Interferon-alpha inhibits the growth of the human B-cell line Daudi in the G1(G0) phase of the cell cycle and prevents cells from entering S-phase. Culturing the cells with interferon-alpha inhibits the phosphorylation of p34CDC2Hs and causes the down-regulation of CDC2Hs mRNA. Phorbol ester also inhibits the Daudi cell cycle in G1(G0) and causes the inhibition of p34CDC2Hs phosphorylation and a reduction of CDC2Hs mRNA. These studies provide insights into the process of growth control and the cytostatic mechanism of interferon-alpha. 相似文献

In this study we tested the hypothesis that stimulation of univalent-cation fluxes which follow the addition of growth factors are required for cell transition through the G1-phase of the cell cycle. The effect of two drugs, amiloride and bumetanide, were tested on exit of BALB/c 3T3 cells from G0/G1-phase and entry into S-phase (DNA synthesis). Amiloride, an inhibitor of the Na+/H+ antiport, only partially inhibited DNA synthesis induced by serum. Bumetanide, an inhibitor of the Na+/K+ co-transport, only slightly suppressed DNA synthesis by itself, but when added together with amiloride completely blocked cell transition through G1 and entry into S-phase. Similar inhibitory effects of the two drugs were found on the induction of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) (a marker of mid-G1-phase) in synchronized cells stimulated by either partially purified fibroblast growth factor (FGF) or serum. To test this hypothesis further, cells arrested in G0/G1 were stimulated by serum, insulin or FGF. All induced similar elevations of cellular K+ content during the early G1-phase of the cell cycle. However, serum and FGF, but not insulin, released the cells from the G0/G1 arrest, as measured by ODC enzyme induction. This result implies that the increase in cellular K+ content may be necessary but not sufficient for induction of early events during the G1-phase. The synergistic inhibitory effects of amiloride and bumetanide on the two activities stimulated by serum growth factors, namely ODC induction (mid-G1) and thymidine incorporation into DNA (S-phase), suggested that the amiloride-sensitive Na+/H+ antiport system together with the bumetanide-sensitive Na+/K+ transporter play a role in the mitogenic signal. 相似文献

Objective
In multicellular organisms, cell division is regulated by growth factors (GFs). In the absence of GFs, cells exit the cell cycle at a site in G1 referred to as the restriction point (R) and enter a state of quiescence known as G0. Additionally, nutrient availability impacts on G1 cell cycle progression. While there is a vast literature on G1 cell cycle progression, confusion remains – especially with regard to the temporal location of R relative to nutrient-mediated checkpoints. In this report, we have investigated the relationship between R and a series of metabolic cell cycle checkpoints that regulate passage into S-phase.Methods
We used double-block experiments to order G1 checkpoints that monitor the presence of GFs, essential amino acids (EEAs), the conditionally essential amino acid glutamine, and inhibition of mTOR. Cell cycle progression was monitored by uptake of [3H]-thymidine and flow cytometry, and analysis of cell cycle regulatory proteins was by Western-blot.Results
We report here that the GF-mediated R can be temporally distinguished from a series of late G1 metabolic checkpoints mediated by EAAs, glutamine, and mTOR – the mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin. R is clearly upstream from an EAA checkpoint, which is upstream from a glutamine checkpoint. mTOR is downstream from both the amino acid checkpoints, close to S-phase. Significantly, in addition to GF autonomy, we find human cancer cells also have dysregulated metabolic checkpoints.Conclusion
The data provided here are consistent with a GF-dependent mid-G1 R where cells determine whether it is appropriate to divide, followed by a series of late-G1 metabolic checkpoints mediated by amino acids and mTOR where cells determine whether they have sufficient nutrients to accomplish the task. Since mTOR inhibition arrests cells the latest in G1, it is likely the final arbiter for nutrient sufficiency prior to committing to replicating the genome. 相似文献14.

BACKGROUND: The putative guanine nucleotide exchange factor Lte1 plays an essential role in promoting exit from mitosis at low temperatures. Lte1 is thought to activate a Ras-like signaling cascade, the mitotic exit network (MEN). MEN promotes the release of the protein phosphatase Cdc14 from the nucleolus during anaphase, and this release is a prerequisite for exit from mitosis. Lte1 is present throughout the cell during G1 but is sequestered in the bud during S phase and mitosis by an unknown mechanism. RESULTS: We show that anchorage of Lte1 in the bud requires septins, the cell polarity determinants Cdc42 and Cla4, and Kel1. Lte1 physically associates with Kel1 and requires Kel1 for its localization in the bud, suggesting a role for Kel1 in anchoring Lte1 at the bud cortex. Our data further implicate the PAK-like protein kinase Cla4 in controlling Lte1 phosphorylation and localization. CLA4 is required for Lte1 phosphorylation and bud localization. Furthermore, when overexpressed, CLA4 induces Lte1 phosphorylation and localization to regions of polarized growth. Finally, we show that Cdc14, directly or indirectly, controls Lte1 dephosphorylation and delocalization from the bud during exit from mitosis. CONCLUSION: Restriction of Lte1 to the bud cortex depends on the cortical proteins Cdc42 and Kel1 and the septin ring. Cla4 and Cdc14 promote and demote Lte1 localization at and from the bud cortex, respectively, suggesting not only that the phosphorylation status of Lte1 controls its localization but also indicating that Cla4 and Cdc14 are key regulators of the spatial asymmetry of Lte1. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to determine the importance of integrin binding and cell shape changes in the control of cell-cycle progression by extracellular matrix (ECM). Primary rat hepatocytes were cultured on ECM-coated dishes in serum-free medium with saturating amounts of growth factors (epidermal growth factor and insulin). Integrin binding and cell spreading were promoted in parallel by plating cells on dishes coated with fibronectin (FN). Integrin binding was separated from cell shape changes by culturing cells on dishes coated with a synthetic arg-gly-asp (RGD)-peptide that acts as an integrin ligand but does not support hepatocyte extension. Expression of early (junB) and late (ras) growth response genes and DNA synthesis were measured to determine whether these substrata induce G0-synchronized hepatocytes to reenter the growth cycle. Cells plated on FN exhibited transient increases in junB and ras gene expression (within 2 and 8 h after plating, respectively) and synchronous entry into S phase. Induction of junB and ras was observed over a similar time course in cells on RGD-coated dishes, however, these round cells did not enter S phase. The possibility that round cells on RGD were blocked in mid to late G1 was confirmed by the finding that when trypsinized and replated onto FN-coated dishes after 30 h of culture, they required a similar time (12-15 h) to reenter S phase as cells that had been spread and allowed to progress through G1 on FN. We have previously shown that hepatocytes remain viable and maintain high levels of liver-specific functions when cultured on these RGD-coated dishes. Thus, these results suggest that ECM acts at two different points in the cell cycle to regulate hepatocyte growth: first, by activating the G0/G1 transition via integrin binding and second, by promoting the G1/S phase transition and switching off the default differentiation program through mechanisms related to cell spreading. 相似文献

The biogenesis of the primary cilium is coordinated with cell cycle exit/re-entry in most types of cells. After serum starvation, the cilia-generating cells enter quiescence and produce the primary cilium; upon re-addition of serum, they re-enter the cell cycle and resorb the cilium. We previously identified novel mechanisms to link cell cycle progression and ciliogenesis by high-content genome-wide RNAi cell-based screening. In the present study, we pay attention to reveal the impact of mRNA splicing on cilia assembly after mitosis of cell cycle. We demonstrate that splicing regulators such as SON and XAB2 play an important role in mitosis exit, and thus affect ciliogenesis in G1/G0 phases. Knockdown of the splicing regulators in hTERT-RPE1 cells caused abnormal G2/M arrest under both serum addition and serum starvation, indicating defects in mitosis exit. Moreover, the knockdown cells failed to assemble the cilia under serum starvation and an inhibition of mRNA splicing using SSA, a spliceosome inhibitor, also revealed ciliogenesis defect. Finally, we show that the SSA-treated zebrafish display abnormal vascular development as a ciliary defect. These findings suggest the pivotal role of mRNA splicing regulators in cilia assembly and underscore the importance of mitotic regulation in ciliogenesis. 相似文献
