Expression of Cyclin B1 and Cyclin Dependent Kinase Inhibitor P21 In Expression of Cyclin B1 and Cyclin Dependent Kinase Inhibitor p21 in Lymphocytes in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus CHEONG-YIP HO, CHUN-KWOK WONG, EDMUND KWOK-MING LI, LAI-SHAN TAM, and CHRISTOPHER WAI-KEI LAM ABSTRACT. Objective. The roles of cyclins and cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors of lymphocytes in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are unclear. We measured the expression of cyclin B1 and CDK inhibitor p21 in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from patients with SLE and controls. Methods. PBL from 40 SLE patients with renal disease (RSLE), 40 SLE patients without renal disease (SLE), and 28 healthy control subjects were cultured with phytohemagglutinin (PHA). Bivariate distribution of cyclin B1 or p21 expression versus cellular DNA content was assessed by flow cytometry. Results. Expression of p21 in lymphocytes was significantly lower in patients with RSLE and with SLE than controls (RSLE vs controls and SLE vs controls, both p < 0.001). Expression of cyclin B1 was similar in all groups. The percentages of RSLE lymphocytes in G0/G1 and S phase were signif- icantly reduced and elevated, respectively, compared with controls. Conclusion. Downregulated p21 in PHA stimulated PBL from patients with SLE may be closely related to aberration of cell division in SLE lymphocytes.

Recently, an extramitotic function of CDK1 emerged when evidence was found that CDK1 is involved in many cellular events that are essential for cell proliferation and survival. In this review we summarize the involvement of CDK1 in the initiation and elongation steps of protein synthesis in the cell. During its activation, CDK1 influences the initiation of protein synthesis, promotes the activity of specific translational initiation factors and affects the functioning of a subset of elongation factors. Our review provides insights into gene expression regulation during the transcriptionally silent M-phase and describes quantitative and qualitative translational changes based on the extramitotic role of the cell cycle master regulator CDK1 to optimize temporal synthesis of proteins to sustain the division-related processes: mitosis and cytokinesis. Keywords: CDK1; 4E-BP1; mTOR; mRNA; translation; M-phase 1. Introduction 1.1. Cyclin Dependent Kinase 1 (CDK1) Is a Subunit of the M Phase-Promoting Factor (MPF) CDK1, a serine/threonine kinase, is a catalytic subunit of the M phase-promoting factor (MPF) complex which is essential for cell cycle control during the G1-S and G2-M phase transitions of eukaryotic cells.

Received: 31 July 2020; Accepted: 9 September 2020; Published: 13 September 2020 Abstract: In numerous instances, the fate of a single cell not only represents its peculiar outcome but also contributes to the overall status of an organism. In turn, the cell division cycle and its control strongly influence cell destiny, playing a critical role in targeting it towards a specific phenotype. Several factors participate in the control of growth, and among them, p27Kip1 and p57Kip2, two proteins modulating various transitions of the cell cycle, appear to play key functions. In this review, the major features of p27 and p57 will be described, focusing, in particular, on their recently identified roles not directly correlated with cell cycle modulation. Then, their possible roles as molecular effectors of polyphenols’ activities will be discussed. Polyphenols represent a large family of natural bioactive molecules that have been demonstrated to exhibit promising protective activities against several human diseases. Their use has also been proposed in association with classical therapies for improving their clinical effects and for diminishing their negative side activities. The importance of p27Kip1 and p57Kip2 in polyphenols’ cellular effects will be discussed with the aim of identifying novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of important human diseases, such as cancers, characterized by an altered control of growth.

However, the molecular mechanism(s) underlying their different tumor growth remains unknown. The aim of the current study was to evaluate and compare the gene expression profile of cell cycle regulators and cell growth-related transcription factors in CD, SCA, and non-functioning adenomas (NFA). Design and methods: Tumor tissue specimens resected from 43 pituitary tumors were studied: CD (nZ10), SCA (nZ11), and NFA (nZ22). The absolute transcript numbers of the following genes were quantified with real-time quantitative PCR assays: CDKN2A (or p16INK4a), cyclin family (A1, B1, D1, and E1), E2F1, RB1, BUB1, BUBR1, ETS1, and ETS2. Protein expressions of p16 and cyclin D1 were semi-quantitatively evaluated by immunohistochemical study. Results and conclusion: CDKN2A gene expression was about fourfold greater in CD than in SCA and NFA.

As a result of these functions, it may be extrapolated that they are essential for appropriate embryonic development. The twenty known mouse CDKs and eight CDKIs have been studied to varying degrees in the developing mouse, but only a handful of CDKs and a single CDKI have been shown to be absolutely required for murine embryonic development. What has become apparent, as more studies have shone light on these family members, is that in addition to their primary functional role in regulating the cell cycle, many of these genes are also controlling specific cell fates by directing differentiation in various tissues. Here we review the extensive mouse models that have been generated to study the functions of CDKs and CDKIs, and discuss their varying roles in murine embryonic development, with a particular focus on the brain, pancreas and fertility. Keywords: cyclin-dependent kinase; CDK inhibitors; mouse; development; knock-out models 1. Introduction Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are proteins that, by definition, require the binding of partner cyclin proteins in order to phosphorylate a series of target proteins.

  • Cell Cycle Arrest Through Indirect Transcriptional Repression by P53: I Have a DREAM
    Cell Death and Differentiation (2018) 25, 114–132 Official journal of the Cell Death Differentiation Association OPEN www.nature.com/cdd Review Cell cycle arrest through indirect transcriptional repression by p53: I have a DREAM Kurt Engeland1 Activation of the p53 tumor suppressor can lead to cell cycle arrest. The key mechanism of p53-mediated arrest is transcriptional downregulation of many cell cycle genes. In recent years it has become evident that p53-dependent repression is controlled by the p53–p21–DREAM–E2F/CHR pathway (p53–DREAM pathway). DREAM is a transcriptional repressor that binds to E2F or CHR promoter sites. Gene regulation and deregulation by DREAM shares many mechanistic characteristics with the retinoblastoma pRB tumor suppressor that acts through E2F elements. However, because of its binding to E2F and CHR elements, DREAM regulates a larger set of target genes leading to regulatory functions distinct from pRB/E2F. The p53–DREAM pathway controls more than 250 mostly cell cycle-associated genes. The functional spectrum of these pathway targets spans from the G1 phase to the end of mitosis. Consequently, through downregulating the expression of gene products which are essential for progression through the cell cycle, the p53–DREAM pathway participates in the control of all checkpoints from DNA synthesis to cytokinesis including G1/S, G2/M and spindle assembly checkpoints. Therefore, defects in the p53–DREAM pathway contribute to a general loss of checkpoint control. Furthermore, deregulation of DREAM target genes promotes chromosomal instability and aneuploidy of cancer cells. Also, DREAM regulation is abrogated by the human papilloma virus HPV E7 protein linking the p53–DREAM pathway to carcinogenesis by HPV.Another feature of the pathway is that it downregulates many genes involved in DNA repair and telomere maintenance as well as Fanconi anemia.
