The absence of p21Cip1/WAF1 alters keratinocyte growth and differentiation and promotes ras-tumor progression

Abstract

p21Cip1/WAF1 was the first cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor to be identified, as a mediator of p53 in DNA damage-induced growth arrest, cell senescence, and direct CDK regulation. p21 may also play an important role in differentiation-associated growth arrest, as its expression is augmented in many terminally differentiating cells. A general involvement of p21 in growth/differentiation control and tumor suppression has been questioned, as mice lacking p21 undergo a normal development, harbor no gross alterations in any of their organs, and exhibit no increase in spontaneous tumor development. However, a significant imbalance between growth and differentiation could be unmasked under conditions where normal homeostatic mechanisms are impaired. We report here that primary keratinocytes derived from p21 knockout mice, transformed with a ras oncogene, and injected subcutaneously into nude mice exhibit a very aggressive tumorigenic behavior, which is not observed with wild-type control keratinocytes nor with keratinocytes with a disruption of the closely related p27 gene. p21 knockout keratinocytes tested under well-defined in vitro conditions show a significantly increased proliferative potential, which is also observed but ...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.
