Positivity of the proliferation marker Ki-67 in noncycling cells

Abstract

Ki-67 is a proliferation marker that is often used to estimate the growth fraction of tumors and other tissues. This antigen is expressed during all phases of the cell cycle but not in quiescent G0 cells. Many studies fail to indicate that the Ki-67 antigen can be expressed even when DNA synthesis is blocked. We studied the expression of the antigen Ki-67 in cycle-arrested osteosarcoma cells. We found that these cells are positive for Ki-67 even when they are arrested in G1/S or G2/M by using synchronizing inhibitors, by inducing p21(Waf1/Cip1) in a tetracycline-regulated expression system or by inducing wild type p53 and p21 after inflicting DNA damage. Our results show that not all cells containing the Ki-67 antigen are actively proliferating cells and we advise against the use of Ki-67 in studies on cells that overexpress p53 or p21.

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.

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.
