The cyclin D1 gene encodes the labile serum-inducible regulatory subunit of a holoenzyme that phosphorylates and inactivates the retinoblastoma protein. Overexpression of cyclin D1 promotes cellular proliferation and normal physiological levels of cyclin D1 function to inhibit adipocyte differentiation in vivo. We have previously shown that cyclin D1 inhibits peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma-dependent activity through a cyclin-dependent kinase- and retinoblastoma protein-binding-independent mechanism. In this study, we determined the molecular mechanism by which cyclin D1 regulated PPARgamma function. Herein, murine embryonic fibroblast (MEF) differentiation by PPARgamma ligand was associated with a reduction in histone deacetylase (HDAC1) activity. Cyclin D1-/- MEFs showed an increased propensity to undergo differentiation into adipocytes. Genetic deletion of cyclin D1 reduced HDAC1 activity. Reconstitution of cyclin D1 into the cyclin D1-/- MEFs increased HDAC1 activity and blocked PPARgamma-mediated adipogenesis. PPARgamma activity was enhanced in cyclin D1-/- cells. Reintroduction of cyclin D1 inhibited basal and ligand-induced PPARgamma activity and enhanced HDAC repression of PPARgamma activity. Cyclin D1 bound HDAC in vivo and preferentially physically associated with HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, and HDAC5. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay demonstrated that cyclin D1 enhanced recruitment of HDAC1 and HDAC3 and histone methyltransferase SUV39H1 to the PPAR response element of the lipoprotein lipase promoter and decreased acetylation of total histone H3 and histone H3 lysine 9. Collectively, these studies suggest an important role of cyclin D1 in regulation of PPARgamma-mediated adipocyte differentiation through recruitment of HDACs to regulate PPAR response element local chromatin structure and PPARgamma function.

Sustained activation of ERK 1/2 by a low dose (15 mg/kg ip) of S-1,2-dichlorovinyl-l-cysteine (DCVC) 72 h before administration of a lethal dose of DCVC (75 mg/kg ip) enhances renal cell division and protects mice against acute renal failure (ARF) and death (autoprotection). The objective of this study was to determine correlation among extent of S-phase DNA synthesis, activation of transcription factors, expression of G(1)/S cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), and CDK inhibitors downstream of ERK 1/2 following DCVC-induced ARF in autoprotection. Administration of the lethal dose alone caused a general downregulation or an unsustainable increase, in transcriptional and posttranscriptional events thereby preventing G(1)-S transition of renal cell cycle. Phosphorylation of IkappaBalpha was inhibited resulting in limited nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB. However, cyclin D1 expression was high probably due to transcriptional cooperation of AP-1. Cyclin D1/cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (cdk4)-cdk6 system-mediated phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein was downregulated due to overexpression of p16 at 24 h after exposure to the lethal dose alone. Inhibition of S-phase stimulation was confirmed by proliferating cell nuclear antigen assay (PCNA). This inhibitory response was prevented if the lethal dose was administered 72 h after the low priming dose of DCVC due to promitogenic effect of the low dose. NF-kappaB-DNA binding is not limited if mice were pretreated with the priming dose. Cyclin D1/cdk4-cdk6 expression stimulated by the priming dose of DCVC was unaltered even after the lethal dose in the autoprotected group, explaining higher phosphorylated-pRB and S-phase stimulation found in this group. These results were corroborated with PCNA immunohistochemistry. These findings suggest that the priming dose relieves the block on compensatory tissue repair by upregulation of promitogenic mechanisms, normally blocked by the high dose when administered without the prior priming dose.

The mammalian cell cycle is regulated by the cyclin/cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma (pRB) family of proteins. Cyclin D1 with its CDK4/6 partners initiates the cell cycle and acts as the link between extracellular signals and the cell cycle machinery. Estradiol-17beta (E2) stimulates uterine epithelial cell proliferation, a process that is completely inhibited by pretreatment with progesterone (P4). Previously, we identified cyclin D1 localization as a key point of regulation in these cells with E2 causing its nuclear accumulation and P4 retaining it in the cytoplasm with the resultant inhibition of pRB phosphorylation. Here we show that E2 stimulates phosphoinositide 3-kinase to activate phosphokinase B/AKT to effect an inhibitory phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3beta). This pathway is suppressed by P4. Inhibition of the GSK-3beta activity in P4-treated uteri by the specific inhibitor, LiCl, reversed the nuclear accumulation of cyclin D1 and in doing so, caused pRB phosphorylation and the induction of downstream genes, proliferating cell nuclear antigen and Ki67. Conversely, inhibition of phosphoinositide 3 kinase by LY294002 or Wortmanin reversed the E2-induced GSK-3beta Ser9 inhibitory phosphorylation and blocked nuclear accumulation of cyclin D1. These data show the reciprocal actions of E2 and P4 on the phosphoinositide 3-kinase through to the GSK-3beta pathway that in turn regulates cyclin D1 localization and cell cycle progression. These data reveal a novel signaling pathway that links E2 and P4 action to growth factor-mediated signaling in the uterus.

Cyclin D1 encodes a regulatory subunit, which with its cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk)-binding partner forms a holoenzyme that phosphorylates and inactivates the retinoblastoma protein. In addition to its Cdk binding-dependent functions, cyclin D1 regulates cellular differentiation in part by modifying several transcription factors and nuclear receptors. The molecular mechanism through which cyclin D1 regulates the function of transcription factors involved in cellular differentiation remains to be clarified. The histone acetyltransferase protein p300 is a co-integrator required for regulation of multiple transcription factors. Here we show that cyclin D1 physically interacts with p300 and represses p300 transactivation. We demonstrated further that the interaction of the two proteins occurs at the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma-responsive element of the lipoprotein lipase promoter in the context of the local chromatin structure. We have mapped the domains in p300 and cyclin D1 involved in this interaction. The bromo domain and cysteine- and histidine-rich domains of p300 were required for repression by cyclin D1. Cyclin D1 repression of p300 was independent of the Cdk- and retinoblastoma protein-binding domains of cyclin D1. Cyclin D1 inhibits histone acetyltransferase activity of p300 in vitro. Microarray analysis identified a signature of genes repressed by cyclin D1 and induced by p300 that promotes cellular differentiation and induces cell cycle arrest. Together, our results suggest that cyclin D1 plays an important role in cellular proliferation and differentiation through regulation of p300.

The cyclin D1 gene is frequently overexpressed in human breast cancer and is capable of inducing mammary tumorigenesis when overexpressed in transgenic mice. The BRCA1 breast tumor susceptibility gene product inhibits breast cancer cellular growth and the activity of several transcription factors. Herein, cyclin D1 antagonized BRCA1-mediated repression of estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha)-dependent gene expression. Cyclin D1 repression of BRCA1 function was mediated independently of its cyclin-dependent kinase, retinoblastoma protein, or p160 (SRC-1) functions in human breast and prostate cancer cells. In vitro, cyclin D1 competed with BRCA1 for ERalpha binding. Cyclin D1 and BRCA1 were both capable of binding ERalpha in a common region of the ERalpha hinge domain. A novel domain of cyclin D1, predicted to form a helix-loop-helix structure, was required for binding to ERalpha and for rescue of BRCA1-mediated ERalpha transcriptional repression. In chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, 17beta-estradiol (E2) enhanced ERalpha and cyclin D1 recruitment to an estrogen response element (ERE). Cyclin D1 expression enhanced ERalpha recruitment to an ERE. E2 reduced BRCA1 recruitment and BRCA1 expression inhibited E2-induced ERalpha recruitment at 12 hours. Cyclin D1 expression antagonized BRCA1 inhibition of ERalpha recruitment to an ERE, providing a mechanism by which cyclin D1 antagonizes BRCA1 function at an ERE. As cyclin D1 abundance is regulated by oncogenic and mitogenic signals, the antagonism of the BRCA1-mediated ERalpha repression by cyclin D1 may contribute to the selective induction of BRCA1-regulated target genes.

Mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) is a well-defined subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (B-NHL), accounts for approximately 6% of all lymphoid neoplasms, and has a median survival of 3 to 4 years. The genetic hallmark of MCL is the chromosomal translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) that leads to deregulation and upregulation of Cyclin D1, an important regulator of the G1 phase of the cell cycle. This genetic event is present in virtually all cases of MCL, whereas additional genetic alterations that occur in subsets of MCL have been described. Most of these alterations appear to disturb the cell cycle machinery/interfere with the cellular response to DNA damage, thus making MCL a paradigm for cell cycle and DNA damage response dysregulation in cancer in general. In particular, Cyclin D1 upregulation, genomic amplification of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) -4, deletions of the CDK inhibitor p16(INK4a) and overexpression of BMI-1, a transcriptional repressor of the p16(INK4a) locus, are associated with dysregulation of the cell cycle machinery in MCL. The DNA damage response pathway is affected by frequent alterations of the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase as well as occasional inactivation of checkpoint kinase (CHK)-1 and CHK2 that are kinases that act downstream of ATM in response to detection of DNA damage. Moreover, p53 is frequently targeted by alterations in MCL. A recent gene expression profiling study defined the proliferation signature, a quantitative measure of gene expression of proliferation-associated genes as the strongest survival predictor available to date allowing the definition of prognostic MCL subgroups that differ in median survival by more than 5 years.

Cyclin D1 is overexpressed in the majority of human breast cancers. We previously found that mice lacking cyclin D1 are resistant to mammary carcinomas triggered by the ErbB-2 oncogene. In this study, we investigated which function of cyclin D1 is required for ErbB-2-driven mammary oncogenesis. We report that the ability of cyclin D1 to activate cyclin-dependent kinase CDK4 underlies the critical role for cyclin D1 in breast cancer formation. We also found that the continued presence of CDK4-associated kinase activity is required to maintain breast tumorigenesis. We analyzed primary human breast cancers and found high cyclin D1 levels in a subset (approximately 25%) of ErbB-2-overexpressing tumors. We propose that this subset of breast cancer patients might benefit from inhibiting CDK4 kinase.

Rapamycin and its derivatives are promising anticancer agents, but the exact mechanisms by which these drugs induce cell cycle arrest and inhibit tumor growth are unknown. A biochemical analysis of human mammary tumor cell lines indicated that rapamycin-induced antiproliferative effects correlated with down-regulation of cellular p21 levels and the levels of p21 in cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) 2 and 4 complexes. Cyclin D1 overexpression reversed rapamycin action and this reversal correlated with increased levels of cellular p21, higher levels of p21 associated with Cdk2, and stabilization of cyclin D1/Cdk2/p21/proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) complexes. Experiments using a novel cyclin D1-Cdk2 fusion protein or a kinase-dead mutant of the fusion protein indicated that reversal of rapamycin action required not only the formation of complexes with p21 and PCNA but also complex-associated kinase activity. Similar results were observed in vivo. The rapamycin derivative RAD001 (everolimus) inhibited the growth of mouse mammary tumors, which correlated with the disruption of cyclin D1/Cdk2 complexes. The potential implications of these results with respect to the use of rapamycin derivatives in breast cancer therapy are discussed.

Dysregulation of cyclin D1 expression is one of the most common genetic aberrations found in hematopoietic malignancies, including multiple myeloma. To address the effects of cyclin D1 overexpression might have on the response of malignant hematopoietic cells to CDK inhibitors, the impact of ectopic cyclin D1 overexpression on the response of human multiple myeloma U266 cells to various cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors was examined. Cyclin D1 overexpression markedly increased the apoptotic response of cells to the CDK inhibitors flavopiridol, roscovitine, and R-roscovitine. Ectopic expression of cyclin D1 resulted in p21(CIP1) accumulation, an effect that was diminished by CDK inhibitor exposure. In pRb-null U266 cells, enforced overexpression of cyclin D1 diminished CDK inhibitor-mediated dephosphorylation of the pocket proteins p130 and p107, reduced binding of E2F1 and E2F4 to p130 and p107, and attenuated inhibition of E2F activity. Notably, CDK inhibitors failed to reduce the S phase fraction in cyclin D1/U266 cells in contrast to effects in their wild-type counterparts. Finally, cyclin D1/U266 cells exhibited diminished basal NF-kappaB activity compared to controls, which was essentially completely abrogated by CDK inhibitor exposure. Together, these findings suggest that dysregulation of cyclin D1 sensitizes human myeloma cells to the actions of CDK inhibitors through mechanisms involving interference with p21(CIP1) expression, dephosphorylation of pocket proteins and inactivation of E2Fs culminating in S phase entry, as well as inactivation of NF-kappaB, leading to apoptosis rather than growth arrest.

The retinoblastoma (RB)-Cyclin (CCN)D1-p16 cell cycle pathway has a crucial role in lung tumorigenesis. Impairment of the RB pathway has been shown to occur in almost all lung tumors. A deregulation at any level of this core RB pathway seems to make cells insensitive to the mitogenic signaling that is required for cell cycle progression. To date, almost all participants in this pathway have been shown to be altered to a various degree in lung tumors. Some of the alterations are mutually exclusive, including RB and p16INK4A . In small cell lung cancer, the RB tumor suppressor gene is inactivated in almost 90% of the tumors, whereas in non-small cell lung cancer, the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4 inhibitor p16INK4A is inactivated in 40-60% of the tumors. Many mechanisms may be responsible for activating the RB-Cyclin D1 pathway, including activating (CDK4) and inactivating mutations (p16INK4A ), deletions (RB and p16INK4A ), amplifications (CCND1 and CDK4), silencing methylation (p16INK4A and RB), and hyper-phosphorylation (RB). As some of these alterations, such as p16INK4A methylation, can also be detected in bronchial lavage and serum, they could potentially serve as useful markers for the early detection of lung cancer. This review summarizes recent experiments describing the variable roles of key-player molecules of the RB pathway and different mechanisms by which the RB pathway can be altered in lung cancer.
