Abstract
We have studied hypoxia-induced cell cycle arrest in human cells where the retinoblastoma tumour suppressor protein (pRb) is either functional (T-47D and T-47DHU-res cells) or abrogated by expression of the HPV18 E7 oncoprotein (NHIK 3025 cells). We have previously found that pRb is dephosphorylated and rebound in the nucleus in T-47D cells arrested in S-phase during hypoxia and that this binding is protracted even following re-oxygenation. In the present study, however, we show that the long-lasting arrest following re-oxygenation induced by pRb-binding in the cell nuclei may be overruled by an elevated level of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR). This seems to create a forced DNA-synthesis, uncoordinated with cell division, which induces endoreduplication of the DNA. The data indicate that the cells initiating endoreduplication continue DNA-synthesis until all DNA is replicated once and then may start cycling and cell division with a doubled DNA-content. Corresponding data on the pRb-incompetent NHIK 3025-cells show similar endoreduplication in these. Thus, the data indicate that endoreduplication of DNA following re-oxygenation may come, either as a result of hypoxic arrest of DNA-synthesis when pRb-function is absent in the cel...Continue Reading
