Background

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the formation of multiple fluid-filled cysts that destroy the kidney architecture resulting in end-stage renal failure. Mutations in genes PKD1 and PKD2 account for nearly all cases of ADPKD. Increased cell proliferation is one of the key features of the disease. Several studies indicated that polycystin-1 regulates cellular proliferation through various signaling pathways, but little is known about the role played by polycystin-2, the product of PKD2. Recently, it was reported that as with polycystin-1, polycystin-2 can act as a negative regulator of cell growth by modulating the levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p21 and the activity of the cyclin-dependent kinase 2, Cdk2.

Methods

Here we utilized different kidney cell-lines expressing wild-type and mutant PKD2 as well as primary tubular epithelial cells isolated from a PKD transgenic rat to further explore the contribution of the p21/Cdk2 pathway in ADPKD proliferation.

Results

Surprisingly, over-expression of wild-type PKD2 in renal cell lines failed to inactivate Cdk2 and consequently had no effect on cell proliferation. On the other hand, expression of mutated PKD2 augmented proliferation only in the primary tubular epithelial cells of a rat model but this was independent of the STAT-1/p21 pathway. On the contrary, multiple approaches revealed unequivocally that expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p57KIP2, is downregulated, while p21 remains unchanged. This p57 reduction is accompanied by an increase in Cdk2 levels.

Conclusion

Our results indicate the probable involvement of p57KIP2 on epithelial cell proliferation in ADPKD implicating a new mechanism for mutant polycystin-2 induced proliferation. Most importantly, contrary to previous studies, abnormal proliferation in cells expressing mutant polycystin-2 appears to be independent of STAT-1/p21.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Although several lines of evidence suggest that the overall effects of the ACTH receptor, melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2-R), mediated signal transduction on adrenocortical growth and tumorigenesis are anti-proliferative, activation of MC2-R induces mitogens like jun, fos, and myc and activates the MAPK pathway. In vivo, potential effects of endogenous ACTH on adrenal tumori-genesis can not be separated from effects of other POMC derived peptides. METHODS: Murine adrenocortical tumor cells that lack MC2-R expression (Y6(pcDNA)) and Y6 cells stablely transfected with MC2-R (Y6(MC2-R)) were generated. Presence of functional MC2-R was demonstrated by RT-PCR and Western blot using an antibody for phosphorylated CREB. As a syngenic tumor model, LaHeF1/J mice simultaneously received 10(7) Y6(MC2-R) and Y6(pcDNA) subcutaneously, giving rise to MC2-R positive and negative tumors within the same animal. Animals were treated for 3 weeks in groups of 12 according to the following schedule: group A, control animals receiving saline injection; group B, animals receiving 5.7 ng/injection of a slow release formula of ACTH 1-24 administered i.p. three times a week (aiming at a low physiologic dose); and group C, animals receiving 57 ng/injection of ACTH 1-24 (high physiological dose). RESULTS: Twenty days of ACTH 1-24 treatment did not significantly affect corticosterone levels, endogenous ACTH levels or adrenal and thymus weight compared with saline injection. However, ACTH 1-24 treatment of group B and C mice significantly reduced tumor weight in MC2-R positive tumors in a dose dependent manner (P = 0.03), while no significant difference in tumor mass was observed in MC2-R negative tumors. PCNA and TUNEL staining, together with morphological characterization, demonstrated that these in vivo effects were due to reduced proliferation, while apoptosis and cellular hypertrophy within the tumor remained unchanged. CONCLUSION: MC2-R expression is associated with a less aggressive adrenal tumor phenotype and anti-proliferative effects can be amplified through stimulation with physiological doses of ACTH.  相似文献

Purpose

p12CDK2-AP1 is a growth suppressor that negatively regulates cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) activities and shows to interfere in DNA replication. Here, we aim to elucidate the role of p12CDK2-AP1 in breast cancer progression.

Methods

Expression of p12CDK2-AP1 protein was examined in 60 pairs of breast cancer specimens and adjacent non-tumor tissues using immunohistochemistry assay. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function analysis was performed on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Routine assays including MTT, colony formation, flow cytometry, and tumorigenesis in nude mice were performed and cell cycle regulators were analyzed.

Results

p12CDK2-AP1 was found to be significantly downregulated in 60 breast cancer tissues compared to corresponding non-tumorous tissues. The proliferation and colony formation ability was inhibited in cells that transduced with p12CDK2-AP1 over-expression lentivirus, but enhanced in cells that transduced with p12CDK2-AP1 RNAi lentivirus. p12CDK2-AP1 over-expression led to G0/G1 phase arrest in the cell cycle and caused expression changes of cell cycle-related genes (CDK2, CDK4, p16Ink4A, p21Cip1/Waf1). Furthermore, p12CDK2-AP1 over-expression inhibited in vivo tumor growth in immunodeficiency mice, supporting an inhibitory role for p12CDK2-AP1 in breast cancer development.

Conclusions

As a cell cycle regulator, p12CDK2-AP1 is involved in the development of breast cancer and maybe a potential therapeutic candidate to suppress tumorigenicity in breast cancer.  相似文献

p27 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor downregulation is essential for transition to the S phase of the cell cycle. Thus, proliferating cells in reactive lymphoid tissue show no detectable p27 expression. Nevertheless, anomalous high p27 expression has been shown to be present in a group of aggressive B-cell lymphomas with high proliferation index and adverse clinical outcome. This suggests that abnormally accumulated p27 protein has been rendered functionally inactive. We analyzed the causes of this anomalous presence of p27 in a group of aggressive B-cell lymphomas, including 54 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas and 20 Burkitt's lymphomas. We simultaneously studied them for p27, cyclin D3, cyclin D2, cyclin D1, and cyclin E expression, because it has been stated that high levels of expression of cyclin D1 or E lead to increased p27 levels in some cell types. A statistically significant association between p27 and cyclin D3 expression was found for the group as a whole. Additionally, when dividing the cases according to the level of expression of cyclin D3 by reactive germinal centers, it was observed that cases with stronger cyclin D3 expression also show higher p27 expression. The relationship between both proteins was also shown at a subcellular level by laser confocal studies, showing that in cases with high expression of both proteins there was a marked colocalization. Additional evidence in favor of p27 sequestration by cyclin D3 was provided by coimmunoprecipitation studies in a Burkitt's cell line (Raji) showing the existence of cyclin D3/p27 complexes and the absence of CDK2/p27 complexes. These results could support the hypothesis that there are cyclin D3/p27 complexes in a subset of aggressive B-cell lymphomas in which p27 lacks the inhibitory activity found when it is bound to cyclin E/CDK2 complexes. This interaction between both proteins could lead to an abnormal nuclear accumulation, detectable by immunohistochemical techniques.  相似文献

Little is known about the pathogenesis of adrenocortical tumors. The cAMP-dependent pathway is physiologically activated by ACTH in adrenocortical cells and different components of this cascade may be altered in some functioning adrenocortical tumors. Recently, mutations of the gene encoding the PKA type 1 A regulatory subunit (R1 A), PRKAR1A, associated with loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at PRKAR1A locus, have been demonstrated in primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD), either isolated or associated with Carney complex. Moreover, activating mutations of the Gs(alpha) gene (the gsp oncogene) have also been found in a small number of adrenocortical cortisol-secreting adenomas. Aim of this study was to investigate the presence of such genetic alterations on a series of 10 ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome due to non-PPNAD adrenocortical adenomas. The coding sequence of PRKAR1A, evaluated by PCR and direct sequencing analysis, revealed the absence of mutations while heterozygosity for at least 1 polymorphism excluded LOH in most tumors. In one single adenoma gsp mutation was detected. In conclusion, we provide additional evidence that the only mutational changes able to activate the cAMP pathway so far identified, i.e. PRKAR1A mutations and gsp oncogene, are a rare event in adrenocortical tumors.  相似文献

In B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), malignant cells seem to be arrested in the G(0)/early G(1) phase of the cell cycle, and defective apoptosis might be involved in disease progression. However, increasing evidence exists that B-CLL is more than a disease consisting of slowly accumulating resting B cells: a proliferating pool of cells has been described in lymph nodes and bone marrow and might feed the accumulating pool in the blood. Rapamycin has been reported to inhibit cell cycle progression in a variety of cell types, including human B cells, and has shown activity against a broad range of human tumor cell lines. Therefore, we investigated the ability of rapamycin to block cell cycle progression in proliferating B-CLL cells. We have recently demonstrated that stimulation with CpG-oligonucleotides and interleukin-2 provides a valuable model for studying cell cycle regulation in malignant B cells. In our present study, we demonstrated that rapamycin induced cell cycle arrest in proliferating B-CLL cells and inhibited phosphorylation of p70s6 kinase (p70(s6k)). In contrast to previous reports on nonmalignant B cells, the expression of the cell cycle inhibitor p27 was not changed in rapamycin-treated leukemic cells. Treatment with rapamycin prevented retinoblastoma protein (RB) phosphorylation in B-CLL cells without affecting the expression of cyclin D2, but cyclin D3 was no longer detectable in rapamycin-treated B-CLL cells. In addition, rapamycin treatment inhibited cyclin-dependent kinase 2 activity by preventing up-regulation of cyclin E and cyclin A. Interestingly, survivin, which is expressed in the proliferation centers of B-CLL patients in vivo, is not up-regulated in rapamycin-treated cells. Therefore, rapamycin interferes with the expression of many critical molecules for cell cycle regulation in cycling B-CLL cells. We conclude from our study that rapamycin might be an attractive substance for therapy for B-CLL patients by inducing a G(1) arrest in proliferating tumor cells.  相似文献

p57kip2 is considered as a candidate tumor suppressor gene involvement in cell cycle control. In this study, we explored the expression of p57kip2 in various myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) subsets by real-time quantitative PCR, as well as the relationship between p57kip2 and CXC receptor 4 (CXCR4). We also searched the role of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/CXCR4 signal in p57kip2 expression in vitro. The expression of p57kip2 decreased in MDS cases (low grade MDS, P<0··001, n = 46; high grade MDS, P<0··001, n = 21), compared with that in control group. Patients with poor karyotype (according to IPSS) had lower p57kip2 than that in the normal group (P<0··05). p57kip2 expression increased after treatment with decitabine in the cases that had achieved response (P = 0··009, n = 7). Additionally, a positive correlation between p57kip2 and CXCR4 was investigated (r = 0··652, P<0··001, n = 67). p57kip2 expression in bone marrow mononuclear cells of normal controls increased significantly when co-cultured with SDF-1 in vitro, which could be blocked by AMD3100, whereas SDF-1 only induced a mild increase in p57kip2 in MDS. In conclusion, low expression of p57kip2 is common in MDS, which may play an important role in MDS pathogenesis. Reduced response to SDF-1 contributed to low expression of p57kip2 in MDS cases.  相似文献

AimSome resected adrenal-confined adrenocortical carcinomas metastasize and others not. The present study was designed to evaluate the expression of metallothionein protein (MT) and minichromosome maintenance protein-2 (MCM2) in adrenocortical carcinomas and adrenocortical adenomas, and to test the correlation between this and adrenocortical carcinoma aggressiveness.Materials and methodsThe study comprised 14 patients operated on for adrenocortical carcinoma, 15 operated on for adrenocortical adenoma and 2 with normal adrenals. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used for histological evaluation under light microscopy, and sequential sections were used for MCM2 and MT staining.ResultsIn normal adrenals, positive staining was weak for MT and zero for MCM2. Rates of positive staining for MT and MCM2 were significantly higher in adrenocortical carcinomas than in adrenocortical adenomas (P = 0.008 and P < 0.001, respectively). In adrenocortical carcinomas, a significant positive correlation was found between MCM2 staining and Weiss revisited score (P = 0.022) but not for Weiss score, and a significant positive correlation was found between MCM2 and mitotic rate on histology (P = 0.033). MCM2 but not MT staining was also shown to correlate significantly with stage IV carcinoma (P = 0.008 and P = 0.165, respectively).ConclusionMCM2 and MT are overexpressed in adrenocortical carcinoma, and MCM2 expression correlates significantly with metastatic disease.  相似文献

Hyperandrogenism is known to perturb ovarian physiology resulting in anovulatory conditions. In the ovary, androgens produced by theca-interstitial cells are converted to estrogens in granulosa cells under the influence of FSH and LH. In some of the target organs, including the ovary, androgens are also converted into their 5alpha reduced metabolites. In the present study, we examined the molecular mechanism by which dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a 5alpha reduced metabolite of testosterone, mediates the inhibition of granulosa cell proliferation, using a rat model. Immature female rats were primed with estradiol, followed by DHT administration for 2 d and granulosa cells were cultured in the presence or absence of forskolin. Granulosa cells from the DHT-treated rats showed reduced [(3)H]thymidine incorporation into DNA and reduced cell number in response to forskolin stimulation, compared with control. The decreased responsiveness of DHT-treated granulosa cells to forskolin was not due to increased apoptosis because the expression of cleaved caspase 3 remained the same in both control and DHT-exposed granulosa cells stimulated with forskolin. Forskolin treatment stimulated the expression of cyclin D2 mRNA in control granulosa cells, whereas DHT treatment abolished this response. In vitro DHT treatment of granulosa cells for 48 h resulted in a cell cycle arrest with 70% of cells at G1 phase and 26% at S phase, and control cells exhibited a distribution of 42% and 55% at G1 and S phase, respectively. In conclusion, the present study shows that DHT inhibits the granulosa cell proliferation through a decrease in cyclin D2 mRNA expression, which leads to cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase.  相似文献

Rhabdoid tumors (RTs) are rare, highly aggressive pediatric malignancies with poor prognosis and with no standard or effective treatment strategies. RTs are characterized by biallelic inactivation of the INI1 tumor suppressor gene. INI1 directly represses CCND1 and activates cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) inhibitors p16(Ink4a) and p21(CIP). RTs are exquisitely dependent on cyclin D1 for genesis and survival. To facilitate translation of unique therapeutic strategies, we have used genetically engineered, Ini1(+/-) mice for therapeutic testing. We found that PET can be used to noninvasively and accurately detect primary tumors in Ini1(+/-) mice. In a PET-guided longitudinal study, we found that treating Ini1(+/-) mice bearing primary tumors with the pan-cdk inhibitor flavopiridol resulted in complete and stable regression of some tumors. Other tumors showed resistance to flavopiridol, and one of the resistant tumors overexpressed cyclin D1, more than flavopiridol-sensitive cells. The concentration of flavopiridol used was not sufficient to down-modulate the high level of cyclin D1 and failed to induce cell death in the resistant cells. Furthermore, FISH and PCR analyses indicated that there is aneuploidy and increased CCND1 copy number in resistant cells. These studies indicate that resistance to flavopiridol may be correlated to elevated cyclin D1 levels. Our studies also indicate that Ini1(+/-) mice are valuable tools for testing unique therapeutic strategies and for understanding mechanisms of drug resistance in tumors that arise owing to loss of Ini1, which is essential for developing effective treatment strategies against these aggressive tumors.  相似文献

The human aldose reductase, AKR1B1, participates in glucose metabolism and osmoregulation and is supposed to play a protective role against toxic aldehydes derived from lipid peroxidation and steroidogenesis that could affect cell growth/differentiation when accumulated. Adrenal gland is a major site of expression of AKR1B1, and we asked whether changes in its expression could be associated with adrenal disorders. Therefore, we examined AKR1B1 gene expression in human fetal adrenals, adrenocortical cell line, and tumors and compared the results with the expression of steroidogenic genes (StAR and CYP11A) and regulators of adrenal cortex development [steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) and dosage-sensitive sex reversal-adrenal hypoplasia congenita critical region on the X chromosome, gene 1 (DAX1)]. Using specific antibodies, Northern blotting, and enzymatic assays, we present evidences that AKR1B1 detectable in 15-wk-old fetal glands is regulated by cAMP in NCI-H295 cells and thus that AKR1B1 is functionally related to the ACTH-responsive murine akr1b7/mvdp gene rather than to its direct ortholog, the mouse aldose reductase akr1b3 gene. Although low DAX1 expression in aldosterone-producing adenomas (n = 5) was confirmed (P < 0.05), no correlation was found between the expression of all other genes and the tumors endocrine activity. In contrast, relative abundance of AKR1B1 mRNA was decreased in adrenocortical carcinomas (n = 5; mean +/- sem, 0.95 +/- 0.2) when compared with adenomas (n = 12; 9.29 +/- 3.05; P < 0.001). Most (seven of eight) adrenocortical carcinomas (19.0 +/- 5.4) had very low relative AKR1B1 protein levels when compared with benign tumors (cortisol-producing adenomas, n = 5, 63.0 +/- 9.8; nonfunctional adenomas, n = 5, 58.0 +/- 10.4; aldosterone-producing adenomas, n = 4, 65.3 +/- 7.7; P < 0.001), Cushing's hyperplasia (n = 5, 54.6 +/- 5.3; P < 0.01), or normal adrenals (n = 4; 37.1 +/- 5.3; P < 0.001). These properties provide the first evidence that expression of cAMP-regulated AKR1B1 is decreased in adrenocortical cancer. This might take part in adrenal tumorigenesis and could be investigated as a marker of malignancy for the diagnosis of adrenal tumors.  相似文献
