Cell cycle checkpoints ensure orderly progression of events during cell division. A microtubule damage (MTD)-induced checkpoint has been described in G(1) phase of the cell cycle (G(1)MTC) for which little is known. The present study shows that the G(1)MTC is intact in activated T lymphocytes from mice with the p21(waf-1) gene deleted. However, p21(waf-1) gene deletion does affect the ratio of cells that arrest at the G(1)MTC and the spindle checkpoint after MTD. The G(1)MTC arrests T lymphocytes in G(1) prior to cdc2 up-regulation and prior to G(1) arrest by p21(waf-1). Once cells have progressed past the G(1)MTC, they are committed to chromosome replication and metaphase progression, even with extreme MTD. The G(1)MTC is also present in a human myeloid cell line deficient in p21(waf-1) gene expression. The p21-independent G(1)MTC may be important in cellular responses to MTD such as those induced by drugs used to treat cancer.

The Role of microRNAs in Organismal and Skin Aging.
Int J Mol Sci

Department of Biological Sciences, University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, AB T1K 3M4, Canada.
The aging process starts directly after birth and lasts for the entire lifespan; it manifests itself with a decline in an organism's ability to adapt and is linked to the development of age-related diseases that eventually lead to premature death. This review aims to explore how microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in skin functioning and aging. Recent evidence has suggested that miRNAs regulate all aspects of cutaneous biogenesis, functionality, and aging.

In ischemic stroke, cell damage propagates from infarct core to surrounding tissue. To reveal proteins involved in neurodegeneration and neuroprotection, we explored the protein profile in penumbra surrounding the photothrombotic infarct core induced in rat cerebral cortex by local laser irradiation after Bengal Rose administration. Using antibody microarrays, we studied changes in expression of 224 signaling proteins 1, 4, or 24 h after photothrombotic infarct compared with untreated contralateral cortex.

The protein expression of the growth suppressive p53 transcription factor and its inhibitor human double minute 2 (Hdm2) is altered in ductal breast carcinomas (DBC). However, the assessment of p53 and/or Hdm2 protein levels in DBC tissues was found to have a questionable prognostic significance. We evaluated the RNA expression of p53, hdm2, and the p53-targeted p21waf-1 and thrombospondin (tsp)-1 by primary DBC tissues, then correlated the RNA levels with patient clinicopathological data.

Since the biological role of phospholipase C (PLC) gamma1 in neuronal differentiation still barely understood, here, we report that overexpression of PLC gamma1 inhibits neurite outgrowth and prolonged proliferation ability of PLC gamma1 contribute to the alteration of cell cycle regulatory proteins, subsequently exiting from cell growth arrest. Deletion of the SH3 or the entire SH223 domains, but not deletion of the N-SH2 or both the N-SH2 and C-SH2 domains expressing cells abolishes the differentiation-inhibitory effects of PLC gamma1, displaying depression of PCNA and elevation of cyclin D1. Moreover, these cells declined CDK1 and CDK2 expression and increased p21WAF-1, accompanying with G2/M accumulation.

Premature senescence of IMR-90 human diploid fibroblasts (HDFs) expressing telomerase was induced by exposure to sublethal concentration of H(2)O(2), with appearance of several biomarkers of cellular senescence like enlarged cell shape, senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA ss-gal) activity, and cell cycle arrest. The induction of stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS) was associated with a transient increase in DNA-binding activity of p53 and an increased expression of p21(WAF-1). p53 small interferent RNA (siRNA) affected the basal level of p21(WAF-1) mRNA but did not affect the overexpression of p21(WAF-1) after stress.
