Kinetics of S phase entry in cyclin D1 transfectants To examine precisely the role of the cyclin D1 in the inhibitory action of cAMP, transfection experiments of the human cyclin D1 cDNA were then conducted both in the hamster ®broblast line CCL39 and in its mutant derivative PS120, which lacks a functional Na+/H+ exchange protein (Pouysse gur et al., 1984). Thus, the Na+/H+ antiporter activity was used as the selective marker in co-transfection experiments (see Materials and methods section).

Figure 6a showed that kinase activities exhibited by anti-cdk4 immunoprecipitates from D1 transfectants stimulated 12 h with serum, are as resistant to cAMP (30% and 15% inhibition for respectively 39-D1 and PS-D1) as those exhibited by anti-cyclin D1 immunocomplexes issued from the same cells (compare with Figure 5). Because cyclin E and cyclin D1 were recently described as being located on distinct although interdependent pathways (Ohtsubo et al., 1995; Resnitzky et al., 1995; Roussel et al., 1995), we then asked, whether or not the enzymatic activity of cyclin E-cdk2 was sensitive to cAMP in the cyclin D1 transfectants. The results, shown in Figure 6b and c, unambiguously indicated that anti-cdk2 and anti-cyclin E immunocomplexes exhibited kinase activities much more elevated in D1 transfectants than in control transfectants. Interestingly, the enzymatic activities of both immunocomplexes were only slightly inhibited by 1mM 8Br-cAMP in D1 transfectants (25 to 50%

We also noticed that previous hypothesis is proven to be correct, then the 8Br-cAMP prevented the growth factor-mediated situation of p27Kip1 increasing in response to cAMP degradation of p27Kip1 and even led to a slight increase represents an intriguing feature.
