Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Smooth muscle protein 22-alpha (SM22α) is known as a transformation- and shape change-sensitive actin cross-linking protein found in smooth muscle tissue and fibroblasts; however, its functional role remains uncertain. We reported previously that SM22α overexpression confers resistance against anti-cancer drugs or radiation via induction of metallothionein (MT) isozymes in HepG2 cells. In this study, we demonstrate that SM22α overexpression leads cells to a growth arrest state and promotes cellular senescence caused by treatment with a subclinical dose of γ-radiation (0.05 and 0.1 Gy) or doxorubicin (0.01 and 0.05 μg/ml), compared to control cells. Senescence growth arrest is known to be controlled by p53 phosphorylation/p21(WAF1/Cip1) induction or p16(INK4a)/retinoblastoma protein (pRB) activation. SM22α overexpression in HepG2 cells elevated p16(INK4a) followed by pRB activation, but did not activate the p53/p21(WAF1/Cip1) pathway. Moreover, MT-1G, which is induced by SM22α overexpression, was involved in the activation of the p16(INK4a)/pRB pathway, which led to a growth arrest state and promoted cellular senescence caused by damaging agents. Our findings provide the first demonstration that SM22α modulates cellular senescence caused by damaging agents via regulation of the p16(INK4a)/pRB pathway in HepG2 cells and that these effects of SM22α are partially mediated by MT-1G.
