Abstract

Cell cycle regulators such as cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and their inhibitors (Ckis) have been reported to be involved in neuronal cell death (NCD) induced by a variety of insults such as ischemia, UV-irradiation, nerve growth factor (NGF)-withdrawal, and anticancer therapeutics. But their precise interactive regulation has still to be unveiled. In the present study, we focused on cell cycle regulators such as Cdk4, p21(WAF1) and p53 to clarify their regulatory mechanisms, using NCD induced by doxorubicin (D-NCD) in mouse cerebellar granule neurons as a model. Doxorubicin induced NCD in a dose-dependent manner, a typical feature of apoptosis as determined by TUNEL assay. Doxorubicin increased the protein expression of p53 in time- and dose-dependent manners. The protein expression of p21(WAF1), a Cki of Cdk4, was stimulated by doxorubicin at low concentrations, but it disappeared at high concentrations. Doxorubicin activated the kinase activity of Cdk4 without the enhancement of Cdk4 protein. 3-Amino-9-thio(10H)-acridone (3-ATA), the specific inhibitor of Cdk4, prevented D-NCD in a dose-dependent manner. Wortmannin, an inhibitor of ATM (ataxia telangiectasia, mutated) that has high homology with the phosphatidyl-inositol-3...Continue Reading

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.

Ataxia telangiectasia (MDS)

Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare neurodegenerative diseases caused by defects in the ATM gene, which is involved in DNA damage recognition and repair pathways. Here is the latest research on this autosomal recessive disease.

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.

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.

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
