Abstract

Induction of WAF1 expression was investigated in human glioblastoma cell lines differing in p53 gene statuses after cold shock treatment. Accumulation of both wild-type (wt) and mutant p53 (mp53) was induced by cold shock at 4 degrees C for 60 min, however, WAF1 accumulation was induced by cold shock in A-172 cells carrying the wtp53 but not in T98G cells carrying the mp53. Inactivation of wtp53 by a dominant negative p53 mutant (p53Trp248) abolished cold shock-induced WAF1 expression in A-172 transfectant cells. Furthermore, no WAF1 expression was induced by cold shock in p53-deficient human osteosarcoma Saos-2 cells. Northern blot analysis showed that the WAF1 but not p53 gene was activated by cold shock only in A-172 cells. These findings suggest that WAF1 expression is cold shock-inducible in human glioblastoma cells, and that this induction may be due to signal transduction mediated by p53 in response to non-genotoxic stress, cold shock.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
