Abstract
Cell transplantation provides a way to compare the regulation of cell proliferation in the same cell type in cell culture and in a vascularized tissue structure in a host animal. The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p57(KIP2), p21(WAF1/CIP1/SDI1) and p27(KIP1) have been extensively studied in cell culture but their role in growth control in tissues is less well understood. In the present experiments we compared the behavior of cell cycle inhibitors in human and bovine adrenocortical cells in culture and following cell transplantation in scid mice. p57 was expressed in the majority of cells in the intact human adrenal cortex. However, double immunofluorescence showed that cells that are in the cell cycle are p57(-) adrenocortical cells, p57 and p27 levels were not affected by inhibition of growth at high cell density, whereas p21 was higher in dividing than growth-inhibited cells. However, p21 was also high in senescent adrenocortical cells. After transplantation of human adrenocortical cells in scid mice, p57 and p27 were observed in most cells in the transplant tissue. Over time the number of p21(+) cells decreased greatly in human adrenocortical cells, but not in bovine adrenocortical cells. This difference correlated with ...Continue Reading
