Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Many stimuli causing 'stress' or DNA damage in cells can produce phenotypes that overlap with telomere-based replicative senescence. In epithelial systems, the p16/RB pathway may function as a stress senescence-signaling pathway independent of telomere shortening. Overexpressing cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4) in human epidermal keratinocytes and human mammary epithelial cells not only prevents the p16(INK4a)-associated premature growth arrest due to telomere-independent stress (e.g., inadequate culture conditions), but also bypasses the ensuing telomere-dependent senescence (M1). Overexpressed Cdk4 in epithelial cells induces a dramatic upregulation of p16(INK4a) and milder upregulation of p53 and p21(WAF1), which become unresponsive to UV irradiation. Despite the high levels of these checkpoint factors, Cdk4-overexpressing cells divide in an apparently normal regulated fashion, are able to respond to changes in calcium levels, retain the stem cell phenotype, and fully differentiate and stratify. These results suggest that the differentiation pathways in Cdk4-overexpressing cells remain intact.
