Mechanisms of interferon-induced cell cycle arrest.
The interferons (IFNs) are a group of cytokines, which in addition to their antiviral activity are capable of modulating a variety of cellular responses. One such prominent effect of IFNs is their potent antimitogenic action, which can be observed both on malignant and non-malignant cells of many different origins. IFNs are also used in the clinic, mainly in malignant and viral diseases, and th...
متن کاملDistinct mechanisms act in concert to mediate cell cycle arrest.
In response to DNA damage, cells arrest at specific stages in the cell cycle. This arrest must fulfill at least 3 requirements: it must be activated promptly; it must be sustained as long as damage is present to prevent loss of genomic information; and after the arrest, cells must re-enter into the appropriate cell cycle phase to ensure proper ploidy. Multiple molecular mechanisms capable of ar...
متن کاملTocotrienol-Rich Fraction Prevents Cell Cycle Arrest and Elongates Telomere Length in Senescent Human Diploid Fibroblasts
This study determined the molecular mechanisms of tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) in preventing cellular senescence of human diploid fibroblasts (HDFs). Primary culture of HDFs at various passages were incubated with 0.5 mg/mL TRF for 24 h. Telomere shortening with decreased telomerase activity was observed in senescent HDFs while the levels of damaged DNA and number of cells in G(0)/G(1) phase...
متن کاملE2F and the molecular mechanisms of early cell-cycle control.
This is an exciting era in cell-cycle research. We are now uncovering the molecular details of a critical pathway which regulates early cell-cycle progression by integrating signals emanating from proteins that drive the cell cycle with the transcription apparatus and the consequent control of target genes. Molecules that function to positively regulate, such as cyclin-cdk complexes, and negati...
متن کاملCell-cycle dysregulation and the molecular mechanisms of prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is the most common cause of non-cutaneous cancer in men and although frequently latent is the second commonest cause of death. Screening for the disease was historically based on symptoms of urethral obstruction, clinical examination of the prostate gland and serum measurements of prostate specific antigen. As prostate cancer growth in the early stages is enhanced by androgens, ...
