Centrosome replication in hydroxyurea-arrested CHO cells expressing GFP-tagged centrin2.

چکیده
Centrosome duplication is tightly coupled with the cell cycle and neither too many nor too few centrosomes are induced in a normal cell. To study how centrosome assembly is regulated, we analyzed the abnormal process of multiple centrosome replications in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells induced by hydroxyurea (HU), which is known to uncouple the centrosome cycle from the cell cycle. Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged centrin2 expressed in CHO cells labels both centrioles and the pericentriolar material (PCM). Counting fluorescent spots of GFP-centrin in synchronized cells showed that in G(1)/S-arrested cells, centrioles are initially duplicated in a template manner. Further treatment with HU overrides the suppression of excess centriole/centrosome replication in a cell where the full complement of centrioles/centrosomes already exists. Time-lapse fluorescence microscopy revealed that small centrin-containing foci emerged in the cytoplasm during HU treatment. These foci are surrounded by a PCM cloud and their number continuously increases as cells are exposed to HU for longer periods of time. Both the centrosome and cytoplasmic foci are highly mobile, continuously changing their position in a manner dependent on microtubules/microtubule dynamics. The centrosome number increases as small foci grow in size and resolve into recognizable centrosomes. As this occurs in a random fashion, the cells arrested longer with HU induced highly heterogeneous numbers of centrosomes.

Relatively little is known about the mechanisms used by somatic cells to regulate the replication of the centrosome complex. Centrosome doubling was studied in CHO cells by electron microscopy and immunofluorescence microscopy using human autoimmune anticentrosome antiserum, and by Northern blotting using the cDNA encoding portion of the centrosome autoantigen pericentriolar material (PCM)-1.

متن کاملDe novo formation of centrosomes in vertebrate cells arrested during S phase
The centrosome usually replicates in a semiconservative fashion, i.e., new centrioles form in association with preexisting "maternal" centrioles. De novo formation of centrioles has been reported for a few highly specialized cell types but it has not been seen in vertebrate somatic cells. We find that when centrosomes are completely destroyed by laser microsurgery in CHO cells arrested in S pha...
متن کاملCyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) is required for centrosome duplication in mammalian cells
Centrosome duplication is indispensable for the formation of the bipolar mitotic spindle. Surprisingly, even if DNA replication or mitosis is inhibited, centrosome duplication can still occur [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Thus, it remains unknown how centrosome duplication is coordinated with the cell cycle. Here, we show that centrosome duplication requires cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) in mammalian...
متن کاملTranslational regulation of ribonucleotide reductase by eukaryotic initiation factor 4E links protein synthesis to the control of DNA replication.
Ribonucleotide reductase synthesizes dNDPs, a specific and limiting step in DNA synthesis, and can participate in neoplastic transformation when overexpressed. The small subunit (ribonucleotide reductase 2 (RNR2)) was cloned as a major product in a subtraction library from eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E)-transformed cells (Chinese hamster ovary-4E (CHO-4E)). CHO-4E cells have 20-40-fold...
