Título: | The MDM2 oncoprotein promotes apoptosis in p53-deficient human medullary thyroid carcinoma cells |
Autor: | Dilla, Tatiana; Velasco, Juan A.; Medina, Diego L. CSIC ORCID; González-Palacios, J. Fernando; Santisteban, Pilar CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | ene-2000 | Editor: | Endocrine Society | Citación: | Endocrinology 141(1): 420-429 (2000) | Resumen: | The MDM2 oncoprotein has been shown to inhibit p53-mediated growth arrest and apoptosis. It also confers growth advantage to different cell lines in the absence of p53. Recently, the ability of MDM2 to arrest the cell cycle of normal human fibroblasts has also been described. We report a novel function for this protein, showing that overexpression of MDM2 promotes apoptosis in p53-deficient, human medullary thyroid carcinoma cells. These cells, devoid of endogenous MDM2 protein, exhibited a significant growth retardation after stable transfection with mdm2. Cell cycle distribution of MDM2 transfectants [medullary thyroid tumor (MTT)-mdm2] revealed a fraction of the cell population in a hypodiploid status, suggesting that MDM2 is sufficient to promote apoptosis. This circumstance is further demonstrated by annexin V labeling. MDM2-induced apoptosis is partially reverted by transient transfection with p53 and p19ARF. Both MTT and MTT-mdm2 cells were tumorigenic when injected into nude mice. However, the percentage ofapoptotic nuclei in tumor sections derived from MDM2-expressing cells was significantly higher relative to that in the parental cell line. MDM2-mediated programmed cell death is at least mediated by a down-regulation of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2. Protein levels of caspase-2, which are undetectable in the parental cell line, appear clearly elevated in MTT-mdm2 cells. Caspase-3 activation does not participate in MDM2-induced apoptosis, as determined by protein levels or poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase fragmentation. The results observed in this medullary carcinoma cell line show for the first time that the product of the mdm2 oncogene mediates cell death by apoptosis in p53-deficient tumor cells. | Descripción: | 10 pages, 7 figures, 4 tables. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1210/en.141.1.420 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/24317 | DOI: | 10.1210/en.141.1.420 | ISSN: | 0013-7227 |
