  • Role of histone modifications in marking and activating genes through mitosis. 16199528

    The global inhibition of transcription at the mitotic phase of the cell cycle occurs together with the general displacement of transcription factors from the mitotic chromatin. Nevertheless, the DNase- and potassium permanganate-hypersensitive sites are maintained on potentially active promoters during mitosis, helping to mark active genes at this stage of the cell cycle. Our study focuses on the role of histone acetylation and H3 (Lys-4) methylation in the maintenance of the competency of these active genes during mitosis. To this end we have analyzed histone modifications across the promoters and coding regions of constitutively active, inducible, and inactive genes in mitotic arrested cells. Our results show that basal histone modifications are maintained during mitosis at promoters and coding regions of the active and inducible RNA polymerase II-transcribed genes. In addition we have demonstrated that, together with H3 acetylation and H3 (Lys-4) methylation, H4 (Lys-12) acetylation at the coding regions contributes to the formation of a stable mark on active genes at this stage of the cell cycle. Finally, analysis of cyclin B1 gene activation during mitosis revealed that the former occurs with a strong increase of H3 (Lys-4) trimethylation but not H3 or H4 acetylation, suggesting that histone methyltransferases are active during this stage. These data demonstrate a critical role of histone acetylation and H3 (Lys-4) methylation during mitosis in marking and activating genes during the mitotic stage of the cell cycle.

  • Estrogen-induced activation of Cdk4 and Cdk2 during G1-S phase progression is accompanied by increased cyclin D1 expression and decreased cyclin-dependent kinase inhibito ... 9099745

    Estrogens induce cell proliferation in target tissues by stimulating progression through G1 phase of the cell cycle, but the underlying molecular targets remain undefined. To determine the role of the cyclin/cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)/retinoblastoma protein (pRB) pathway in this response we treated MCF-7 breast cancer cells with the pure estrogen antagonist ICI 182780 to inhibit estrogen-induced gene expression and induce G1 phase arrest. Subsequent treatment with 17beta-estradiol resulted in the synchronous entry of cells into S phase commencing at 12 h. The proportion of cells in S phase reached a maximum of 60% at 21-24 h. Cells subsequently completed mitosis and entered a second semisynchronous round of replication. Entry into S phase was preceded by increased activity of both Cdk4 and cyclin E-Cdk2 and hyperphosphorylation of pRB, all within the first 3-6 h of estradiol treatment. The increase in Cdk4 activity was accompanied by increases in cyclin D1 mRNA and protein, indicating that an initiating event in the activation of Cdk4 was increased cyclin D1 gene expression. In contrast, the levels of Cdk2 and the CDK inhibitors p21 (WAF1/CIP1/SDI1) and p27 (KIP1) in total cell lysates and in cyclin E immunoprecipitates were unaltered at these early time points. However, an inhibitory activity was present in antiestrogen-pretreated cell lysates toward recombinant cyclin E-Cdk2 and was relieved by estradiol treatment. This activity was attributable predominantly to p21. These apparently conflicting data were resolved by performing gel filtration chromatography, which revealed that only a minority of cyclin E-Cdk2 complexes were active following estradiol treatment. Active complexes eluted at a higher molecular weight than inactive complexes, were relatively deficient in both p21 and p27, and contained Cdk2 with increased threonine 160 phosphorylation, consistent with a mechanism of activation of cyclin E-Cdk2 involving both reduced CDK inhibitor association and CDK-activating kinase-mediated phosphorylation of Cdk2. These results provide an explanation for the early activation of both cyclin D1-Cdk4 and cyclin E-Cdk2 complexes that accompany G1-S phase progression in response to estradiol.

  • Abundance and subcellular localisation of cyclin D3 in human tumours. 8575852

    The D-type cyclins are positive regulators of the G1 phase of the mammalian cell cycle. Cyclins D1 or D2 are over-expressed in several types of cancer, transform rodent cells in culture and therefore harbor hallmarks of cellular proto-oncogenes. In contrast, no data on expression of cyclin D3 in tissues and tumours are presently available. We have raised monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for cyclin D3 and examined abundance and subcellular localisation of this G1 cyclin in a series of human cultured cell types and in 180 primary tumours of diverse histogenesis. Cyclin D3 localised predominantly in nuclei of normal and tumour cells both in culture and in situ, and a pronounced cell-to-cell variation of its abundance was reminiscent of cyclins D1 and D2. Immunohistochemical analysis of tumour and corresponding normal tissues showed strong aberrant accumulation of cyclin D3 in a subset (about 10%) of breast carcinomas, whereas only weak-to-moderate expression was found in colorectal, head and neck and uterine carcinomas, melanomas and soft tissue sarcomas. The specificity of the immunohistochemical data was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis of tissue and tumour lysates. Our results indicate that over-abundance of cyclin D3 is considerably less frequent than that of cyclin D1, yet we identify subsets of breast tumours, and potentially lymphomas, as candidate tumour types with elevated cyclin D3 expression.

  • G1 phase regulation, area-specific cell cycle control, and cytoarchitectonics in the primate cortex. 16055060

    We have investigated the cell cycle-related mechanisms that lead to the emergence of primate areas 17 and 18. These areas are characterized by striking differences in cytoarchitectonics and neuron number. We show in vivo that (1) area 17 precursors of supragranular neurons exhibit a shorter cell cycle duration, a reduced G1 phase, and a higher rate of cell cycle reentry than area 18 precursors; (2) area 17 and area 18 precursors show contrasting and specific levels of expression of cyclin E (high in area 17, low in area 18) and p27Kip1 (low in area 17, high in area 18); (3) ex vivo up- and downmodulation of cyclin E and p27Kip1 show that both regulators influence cell cycle kinetics by modifying rates of cell cycle progression and cell cycle reentry; (4) modeling the areal differences in cell cycle parameters suggests that they contribute to areal differences in numbers of precursors and neuron production.

  • LINC00037 Inhibits Proliferation of Renal Cell Carcinoma Cells in an Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Dependent Way. 29393141

    LINC00037 has previously been reported to be up-regulated in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), however, the underlying mechanism remained unknown. In this study, we designed to investigate the functional role of LINC00037 in ccRCC Methods: LINC00037 knockdown and re-expressing 786-O and A498 cells were established. CCK8 assay and EdU assay were performed to evaluate the proliferation rates of ccRCC cells. Flow cytometry assay was performed to detect the cell apoptosis and cell cycle. Subcutaneous injection xenotransplantation mouse model was used to observe the role of LINC00037 in tumor growth in vivo. Mass spectrometry (MS) was performed to find the interacting partner of LINC00037 and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) was carried out to validate their interaction.We found that knockdown of LINC00037 resulted in inhibited cell proliferation with activated apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in vitro. Over-expression of LINC00037 in LINC00037 knockdown cells restored and enhanced cell proliferation. In vivo mouse model indicated reduced tumor progression by LINC00037 depletion and promoted tumor progression by LINC00037 overexpression. LINC00037 could bind to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and increase the protein level of EGFR.LINC00037 could inhibit proliferation of ccRCC in an epidermal growth factor receptor-dependent way.

  • Involvement of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta signaling and aberrant nucleocytoplasmic localization of retinoblastoma protein in tumor promotion in a rat two-stage thyroi ... 19505811

    To investigate the cell cycle kinetics during the tumor promotion process induced by hypothyroidism in a rat model of thyroid follicular cell carcinogenesis, immunohistochemical analysis of cell cycle molecules and related signaling molecules was performed in conjunction with analysis of cell proliferation activity in an initiation-promotion model. Male F344 rats were injected with N-bis(2-hydroxypropyl)nitrosamine, and one week later treated with 6-propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU) at 12ppm in the drinking water for 4, 10 or 15 weeks. At each time point, proliferative lesions increased the expression of cyclin A, cyclin D, cyclin E and cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk)-2, in association with the development of lesion stages from the early focal hyperplasia to the late carcinoma, while a subpopulation of proliferative lesions showed decreased numbers of both cell division cycle-2- and Ki-67-positive cells at week 15 compared with that at week 10, suggesting a reduced promoting effect of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone in the sensitive cellular population after long-term exposure to PTU. On the other hand, increased immunolocalization of phosphorylated and inactive glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3beta was observed in a subpopulation of proliferative lesions, in parallel with the cyclins and Cdk2. Nuclear immunoreactivity of phosphorylated and inactive retinoblastoma (Rb) protein was also increased in association with lesion development, with carcinomas showing increased cytoplasmic localization. The results suggest that proliferative lesions activate the cell cycle machinery following tumor promotion via a regulatory mechanism involving inactivation of GSK3beta and Rb protein, the latter signaling mechanism involving its aberrant nucleocytoplasmic transport for the acquisition of a malignant phenotype.

  • The cell cycle inhibitor p27Kip¹ controls self-renewal and pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells by regulating the cell cycle, Brachyury and Twist. 21478681

    The continued turn over of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) while maintaining an undifferentiated state is dependent on the regulation of the cell cycle. Here we asked the question if a single cell cycle gene could regulate the self-renewal or pluripotency properties of hESC. We identified that the protein expression of the p27(Kip)¹ cell cycle inhibitor is low in hESC cells and increased with differentiation. By adopting a gain and loss of function strategy we forced or reduced its expression in undifferentiating conditions to define its functional role in self-renewal and pluripotency. Using undifferentiation conditions, overexpression of p27(Kip)¹ in hESC lead to a G₁phase arrest with an enlarged and flattened hESC morphology and consequent loss of self-renewal ability. Loss of p27(Kip)¹ caused an elongated/scatter cell-like phenotype involving up-regulation of Brachyury and Twist gene expression. We demonstrate the novel finding that p27(Kip)¹ protein occupies the Twist1 gene promoter and manipulation of p27(Kip)¹ by gain and loss of function is associated with Twist gene expression changes. These results define p27(Kip)¹ expression levels as critical for self-renewal and pluripotency in hESC and suggest a role for p27(Kip)¹ in controlling an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in hESC.

  • Large-scale analysis of mRNA translation states during sucrose starvation in arabidopsis cells identifies cell proliferation and chromatin structure as targets of transla ... 16632591

    Sucrose starvation of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) cell culture was used to identify translationally regulated genes by DNA microarray analysis. Cells were starved by subculture without sucrose, and total and polysomal RNA was extracted between 6 and 48 h. Probes were derived from both RNA populations and used to screen oligonucleotide microarrays. Out of 25,607 screened genes, 224 were found to be differentially accumulated in polysomal RNA following starvation and 21 were found to be invariant in polysomal RNA while their total RNA abundance was modified. Most of the mRNA appears to be translationally repressed (183/245 genes), which is consistent with a general decrease in metabolic activities during starvation. The parallel transcriptional analysis identifies 268 regulated genes. Comparison of transcriptional and translational gene lists highlights the importance of translational regulation (mostly repression) affecting genes involved in cell cycle and cell growth, these being overrepresented in translationally regulated genes, providing a molecular framework for the arrest of cell proliferation following starvation. Starvation-induced translational control also affects chromatin regulation genes, such as the HD1 histone deacetylase, and the level of histone H4 acetylation was found to increase during starvation. This suggests that regulation of the global nuclear transcriptional activity might be linked to cytoplasmic translational regulations.

  • Distinct populations of human PCNA are required for initiation of chromosomal DNA replication and concurrent DNA repair. 16226749

    The integrity of genomic DNA during the cell division cycle in eukaryotic cells is maintained by regulated chromosomal DNA replication and repair of damaged DNA. We have used fractionation and reconstitution experiments to purify essential factors for the initiation of human chromosomal DNA replication in late G1 phase template nuclei from human cells. Here, we report the identification of soluble PCNA as an essential initiation factor in this system. Recombinant histidine-tagged human PCNA can substitute for purified endogenous human PCNA to initiate human chromosomal DNA replication. It is recruited specifically to discrete DNA replication foci formed during initiation in vitro. The template nuclei also contain DNA breaks as result of the synchronisation procedure. A separate population of chromatin-bound PCNA is already present in these template nuclei at discrete DNA damage foci, co-localising with gamma-H2AX, RPA and Rad51. This DNA damage-associated PCNA population is marked by mono-ubiquitination, suggesting that it is involved in DNA repair. Importantly, the population of damage focus-associated PCNA is neither involved in, nor required for, the initiation of chromosomal DNA replication in the same nuclei.

  • Activation of p53 by nutlin leads to rapid differentiation of human embryonic stem cells. 18521083

    p53 Is an important regulator of normal cell response to stress and frequently mutated in human tumours. Here, we studied the effects of activation of p53 and its target gene p21 in human embryonic stem cells. We show that activation of p53 with small-molecule activator nutlin leads to rapid differentiation of stem cells evidenced by changes in cell morphology and adhesion, expression of cell-specific markers for primitive endoderm and trophectoderm lineages and loss of pluripotency markers. p21 is quickly and dose-dependently activated by nutlin. It can also be activated independently from p53 by sodium butyrate, which leads to the differentiation events very similar to the ones induced by p53. During differentiation, the activating phosphorylation site of CDK2 Thr-160 becomes dephosphorylated and cyclins A and E become degraded. The target for CDK2 kinase in p53 molecule, Ser-315, also becomes dephosphorylated. We conclude that the main mechanism responsible for differentiation of human stem cells by p53 is abolition of S-phase entry and subsequent stop of cell cycle in G0/G1 phase accompanied by p21 activation.
