Abstract:
Proper regulation of gene expression during cell cycle entry ensures the successful completion of proliferation, avoiding risks such as carcinogenesis. The microRNA (miRNA) network is an emerging molecular system regulating multiple genetic pathways. We demonstrate here that the global elevation of miRNAs is critical for proper control of gene expression program during cell cycle entry. Strikingly, Exportin 5 (XPO5) is promptly induced during cell cycle entry by a PI3K-dependent post-transcriptional mechanism. Inhibition of XPO5 induction interfered with global miRNA elevation and resulted in a proliferation defect associated with delayed G1/S transition. During cell cycle entry, XPO5 therefore plays a paramount role as a critical molecular hub controlling the gene expression program through global regulation of miRNAs. Our data suggest that XPO5-mediated global miRNA elevation might be involved in a broad range of cellular events associated with cell cycle control.Background: MiR-198 has been considered as an inhibitor of cell proliferation, invasion, migration and a promoter of apoptosis in most cancer cells, while its effect on non-cancer cells is poorly understood. Methods: The effect of miR-198 transfection on HaCaT cell proliferation was firstly detected using Cell Count Kit-8 and the cell cycle progression was analyzed by flow cytometry. Using bioinformatics analyses and luciferase assay, a new target of miR-198 was searched and identified. Then, the effect of the new target gene of miR-198 on cell proliferation and cell cycle was also detected. Results: Here we showed that miR-198 directly bound to the 3′-UTR of CCND2 mRNA, which was a key regulator in cell cycle progression. Overexpressed miR-198 repressed CCND2 expression at mRNA and protein levels and subsequently led to cell proliferation inhibition and cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase. Transfection ofSiCCND2 in HaCaT cells showed similar inhibitory effects on cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. Conclusion: In conclusion, we have identified that miR-198 inhibited HaCaT cell proliferation by directly targeting CCND2.

Background: Ligustrazine, active ingredients extracted from the natural herb Ligusticum Chuanxiong Hort, has promising anti-tumor properties on tumor cell lines. However, the potential anti-tumor activity of ligustrazine on colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and the molecular mechanisms have not been elucidated. In this study, we explored the critical functions of ligustrazine on SW480 and CT26 cells at cellular levels. Methods: CCK-8 assay was performed to analyze the cell viability. Flow cytometry analysis was applied to study cell apoptosis and cell cycle. The expressions of cell apoptosis and cell cycle-associated proteins were conducted by western blot and qRT-PCR analysis. Results: Ligustrazine showed significant inhibitory effects on the proliferation of SW480 and CT26 cells. Ligustrazine induced cell apoptosis was associated with the up-regulation of pro-apoptotic protein and the down-regulation of anti-apoptotic protein in an activated mitochondrial-dependent pathway. And it indicated that ligustrazine induced cell cycle arrest by changing the cell cycle distribution, which leads to cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. Besides, the ligustrazine-induced cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest were markedly reversed by pifithrin-α (p53 inhibitor), which suggested that ligustrazine-induced cell apoptosis was achieved by regulating p53-dependent mitochondrial pathway and cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. Conclusions: These findings demonstrated that ligustrazine could induce SW480 and CT26 cells apoptosis via a p53-dependent mitochondrial pathway and cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. Ligustrazine may serve as a potential anti-cancer agent for CRC.

Effects of all-trans retinoic acid on cell cycle and proliferation of MCF-7 and expression of restin
To study the role of all-trans retinoic acid(ATRA) in cell cycle, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and the expression of restin gene. Methods: The cell cycle was observed by means of flow cytometry(FCM) , the cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay and the expression of restin mRNA was examined by RT-PCR. Results: Under the treatment by ATRA, the cell growth arrested at G1 phase and the proliferation was inhibited greatly. The level of restin mRNA was found to be up-regulated by ATRA in MCF-7 cell. Conclusion: G1 phase arrest and proliferation inhibition were involved in the process that ATRA induces MCF-7 cell differentiation and apoptosis, and restin maybe play an important role in this process, especially the cell apoptosis.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) serve a key role in regulating the cell cycle and inducing tumorigenesis. Subgroup J of the avian leukosis virus (ALV-J) belongs to the family Retroviridae, subfamily Orthoretrovirinae and genus Alpharetrovirus that causes tumors in susceptible chickens. gga-miR-375 is downregulated and Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) is upregulated in ALV-J-induced tumors in the livers of chickens, and it has been further identified that YAP1 is the direct target gene of gga-miR-375. In the present study, it was found that ALV-J infection promoted the cell cycle and proliferation in DF-1 cells. As the cell cycle and cell proliferation are closely associated with tumorigenesis, further experiments were performed to determine whether gga-miR-375 and YAP1 were involved in these cellular processes. It was demonstrated that gga-miR-375 significantly inhibited the cell cycle by inhibiting G1 to S/G2 stage transition and decreasing cell proliferation, while YAP1 significantly promoted the cell cycle and proliferation. Furthermore, these cellular processes in DF-1 cells were affected by gga-miR-375 through the targeting of YAP1. Collectively, the present results suggested that gga-miR-375, downregulated by ALV-J infection, negatively regulated the cell cycle and proliferation via the targeting of YAP1.

Plant-derived polyphenols are being tested as chemopreventive agents; some polyphenols arrest the cell cycle at G1 phase, whereas others inhibit cell cycle proliferation at G2/M phase. Therefore, polyphenols have been proposed to inhibit cell cycle progression at different phases via distinct mechanisms. Indeed, our previous studies showed that small structural differences in polyphenols cause large differences in their biological activities; however, the details of the structural properties causing G1 cell cycle arrest remain unknown. In this study, we prepared 27 polyphenols, including eight different scaffolds, to gain insight into the structural conditions that arrest the cell cycle at G1 phase in a quantitative structure–activity relationship study. We used cell cycle profiles to determine the biophores responsible for G1 cell cycle arrest and believe that the biophores identified in this study will help design polyphenols that cause G1 cell cycle arrest.

Cell cycle arrest after different types of DNA damage can occur in either G1 phase or G2 phase of the cell cycle, involving the distinct mechanisms of p53/p21 Cip1/Waf1 induction, and phosphorylation of Cdc2, respectively. Treatment of asynchronously growing Swiss3T3 cells with the chemotherapeutic drug adriamycin induced a predominantly G2 cell cycle arrest. Here we investigate why Swiss3T3 cells were arrested in G2 phase and not in G1 phase after adriamycin‐induced damage. We show that adriamycin was capable of inducing a G1 cell cycle arrest, both during the G0‐G1 transition and during the G1 phase of the normal cell cycle. In G0 cells, adriamycin induced a prolonged cell cycle arrest. However, adriamycin caused only a transient cell cycle delay when added to cells at later time points during G0‐G1 transition or at the G1 phase of normal cell cycle. The G1 arrest correlated with the induction of p53 and p21 Cip1/Waf1 , and the exit from the arrest correlated with the decline of their expression. In contrast to the G1 arrest, adriamycin‐induced G2 arrest was relatively tight and correlated with the Thr‐14/Tyr‐15 phosphorylation of cyclin B‐Cdc2 complexes. The relative stringency of the G1 versus G2 cell cycle arrest may explain the predominance of G2 arrest after adriamycin treatment in mammalian cells.
