Abstract
We have studied the role of the oxygen-dependent pyrimidine metabolism in the regulation of cell cycle progression under moderate hypoxia in human cell lines containing functional (T-47D) or non-functional (NHIK 3025, SAOS-2) retinoblastoma gene product (pRB). Under aerobic conditions, pRB exerts its growth-regulatory effects during early G1 phase of the cell cycle, when all pRB present has been assumed to be in the underphosphorylated form and bound in the nucleus. We demonstrate that pRB is dephosphorylated and re-bound in the nucleus in approximately 90% of T-47D cells located in S and G2 phases under moderately hypoxic conditions. Under these conditions, no T-47D cells entered S-phase, and no progression through S-phase was observed. Progression of cells through G2 and mitosis seems independent of their functional pRB status. The p21WAF1/CIP1 protein level was significantly reduced by moderate hypoxia in p53-deficient T-47D cells, whereas p16(INK4a) was not expressed in these cells, suggesting that the hypoxia-induced cell cycle arrest is independent of these cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. The addition of pyrimidine deoxynucleosides did not release T-47D cells, containing mainly underphosphorylated pRB, from the cell c...Continue Reading
