Abstract

We studied the effects of Pin1, a regulatory molecule of the oncosuppressor p53, on both cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by treating primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) with etoposide. Etoposide induced G1 arrest in both wild-type and Pin1 null (pin1(-/-)) MEFs, and G2/M arrest and apoptotic cell death in MEFs lacking either p53 only (p53(-/-)) or both Pin1 and p53 (pin1(-/-)p53(-/-)). Both pin1(-/-) and pin1(-/-)p53(-/-) MEFs were enhanced the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria, which might induce apoptosis. In response to etoposide treatment, apoptotic cell death was displayed in pin1(-/-)p53(-/-) MEFs but not in pin1(-/-) MEFs. These results suggest that p53 retards growth and suppresses etoposide-induced apoptosis in pin1(-/-) MEFs.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
