Cell Cycle Arrest Mediates Global DNA Methylation Patterns in Normal Human Keratinocytes, Epidermoid Carcinoma Cells and Murine Embryonic Fibroblasts
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 5-methylationcytosine (5-MC) DNA content of murine embryonic fibroblasts arrested in G1 by four growth conditions (Gc, Gn, Gd, and Gs) were hypermethylated relative to rapidly growing (RG) fibroblasts. Normal human keratinocytes (NHK) arrested in G1 by suspension were hypermethylated relative to RG cultures. Four RG cultures of epidermoid carcinoma cells (ECC) were hypomethylated relative to RG NHK cultures, and two cultures (SCC25 and A431) were further hypomethylated by SUS-induced arrest. Linear regression analyses established a positive linear correlation between growth rate and 5-MC content for three murine fibroblasts lines, and a negative correlation for both NHK and ECC lines.

Study of promoter CpG island hypermethylation of cyclindependent kinase inhibitor gene p21waf1/cip1 on some breast carcinoma cell lines
The p21 belongs to the CIP/KIP family of CDK inhibitors involved in cell cycle arrest at specific stages of the cell cycle progression. DNA methylation is the best studied epigenetic mark that have been evidently associated to chromatin condensation, and repression of gene transcription. The CpG island hypermethylation in promoter region of certain genes occurs in cancer cells and affects tumor...

Stable molecular changes during cell division without any change in the sequence of DNA molecules is known as epigenetic. Molecular mechanisms involved in this process, including histone modifications, methylation of DNA, protein complex and RNA antisense. Cancer genome changes happen through a combination of DNA hypermethylation, long-term epigenetic silencing with heterozygosis loss and genom...
متن کاملDNA methyltransferase inhibition in normal human fibroblasts induces a p21-dependent cell cycle withdrawal.
Maintenance of methylation patterns in the mammalian genome by DNA (cytosine-5) methyltransferases (DNAMeTase) is required for normal cell and tissue function. Inhibition of DNAMeTase in cultured cells induces the expression of p21, a cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) inhibitor critical for cells to enter replicative senescence. We investigated the effects of DNAMeTase inhibition in normal human fi...

Exposure of ME180 and A431 carcinoma cells to Ukrain (NSC-631570), a novel semisynthetic drug from Chelidonium majus L, results in cell growth inhibition which is concomitant with reversible G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis at doses as low as 7 microM. In contrast, the same drug concentrations were not affective towards normal human keratinocytes. In order to investigate whether cell cycle ...
متن کاملRegulation of p53 during senescence in normal human keratinocytes
p53, the guardian of the genome, is a tumor suppressor protein and critical for the genomic integrity of the cells. Many studies have shown that intracellular level of p53 is enhanced during replicative senescence in normal fibroblasts, and the enhanced level of p53 is viewed as the cause of senescence. Here, we report that, unlike in normal fibroblasts, the level of intracellular p53 reduces d...
