CDK-inhibitor independent cell cycle progression in an experimental haematopoietic stem cell leukaemia despite unaltered Rb-phosphorylation.

Abstract：

:A CD34-negative haematopoietic progenitor cell line, D064, derived from canine bone marrow stromal cells is able to differentiate into haematopoietic progenitors under the influence of growth factor-mediated signalling. While differentiating, these cells eventually start to express MHC class II molecules (DR homologues) on their surface. The stable transfection of the fibroblast-like wild-type cells with retroviral constructs containing the cDNA for the canine MHC class II DR-genes (DRA and DRB) induces a change in morphology, accelerates cell cycle progression and leads to a loss of anchorage-dependent growth. Transfected cells show features of an immature stem cell leukaemia, such as giant cell formation. In wild-type D064 cells the accumulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (cdki) p27kip-1 induces differentiation, which is dependent upon signalling via the ligand for the tyrosine kinase receptor c-kit (stem cell factor). DR-transfected cells instead apparently grow independently of any growth factor-mediated signals and express high levels of the cdkis p27kip-1 and especially p21(waf-1/cip-1), concurrently with accelated cell cycle progression. In contrast to the overexpression of cdkis and despite accelerated cell cycle progression, the expression of the G2/M phase transition kinase p34cdc2 is significantly reduced in DR-transfected and transformed cells as compared to the haematopoietic wild-type cell line D064. This might suggest a possible alternative cell cycle progression pathway in this experimental stem cell leukaemia by by-passing the G0/G1 phase arrest, although retinoblastoma (Rb)-phosphorylation remains unaltered. These results provide evidence that mechanisms normally controlling the cell cycle and early haematopoietic differentiation are disrupted by the constitutive transcription and expression of MHC class II genes (DR) leading to a progression and growth of this experimental stem cell leukaemia independent from cell cycle controlling regulators such as p27 and p21.
