Abstract

The CDK inhibitor p21 (WAF-1/CIP-1/SDI-1) has been implicated in DNA damage-induced p53-mediated G1 arrest, as well as in physiological processes, such as cell differentiation and senescence, that do not involve p53 function. To determine the impact of p21 on normal development and cell-cycle regulation in vivo, we have generated transgenic mice that abundantly express p21 specifically in hepatocytes. During postnatal liver development, when transgenic p-21 protein becomes detectable, hepatocyte proliferation is inhibited dramatically. This disturbance causes a reduction in the overall number of adult hepatocytes, resulting in aberrant tissue organization, runted liver and body growth, and increased mortality. The transgenic p21 protein is associated with most, if not all, of the cyclin D1-CDK4 in liver but not significantly with other cyclin/CDK proteins, indicating the importance of cyclin D1-CDK4 function in normal liver development. The appearance of large polyploid nuclei in some hepatocytes indicates that p21 may also cause arrest during the G2 phase of the cell cycle. Significantly, partial hepatectomy failed to stimulate hepatocytes to proliferate in p21 transgenic animals. These results provide the first in vivo eviden...Continue Reading

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.

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.
