Popis: We examined a relationship between p21 WAF1/CIP1/SDI1 and cell-cycle-related proteins in 12 human liver tumor cell lines (JHH-1, -2, -4, -5, -6, -7; HLE; HuH-7; Hep3B; PLC/PRF/5; HuH-6; HepG2). Seven (JHH-1, -2, -5, -6, -7; Hep3B; HepG2) out of eight cell lines having p21 WAF1/CIP1/SDI1 protein overexpressed cyclin E protein, although one of them (JHH-5) overexpressed a reduced size of cyclin E. The rest (HuH-6) of the 8 cell lines with p21 WAF1/CIP1/SDI1 showed a decreased expression of cyclin E. Four cell lines (JHH-4; HLE; HuH-7; PLC/PRF/5) deficient of p21 WAF1/CIP1/SDI1 protein did not overexpress cyclin E protein. As to expression of the other cell-cycle-related proteins, cyclin A, cyclin D1, CDK2 or CDK4, no significant difference was detected among the 12 cell lines. These findings indicate that the human liver tumor cell lines which have the p21 WAF1/CIP1/SDI1 -inducible barriers of the cell cycle progression can go through the G1/S checkpoint by overexpressing cyclin E.
