摘要
p21WAF1/CIP1 is a universal cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. To investigate the role of p21WAF1/CIP1 in proliferation of human liver cancer cells, we examined the expression of p53, p21WAF1/CIP1, cdk2 and cdk4 expression in two human liver cancer cell lines (HepG2 and PLC/PRF/5 cells). The effects of p21WAF1/CIP1 on [3H]thymidine incorporation and cdks were also examined in these cells. HepG2 cells expressed all these proteins with lower level of cdk4. PLC/PRF/5 cells expressed the other proteins except p21WAF1/CIP1. Transfection of p21WAF1/CIP1 gene inhibited [3H]thymidine incorporation of both cells with different extent. Although the transfection of p21WAF1/CIP1 did not affect cdk2 and cdk4 expression, it did reduce cdk2 kinase activity by 20%. These results suggest that: (a) p21WAF1/CIP1 involved in DNA synthesis of human liver cancer cells; (b) p21WAF1/CIP1 could be a target gene for the treatment of human hepatocellular carcinoma.
