Cell cycle control is regulated through the temporal action of both cyclin-dependent kinases and cyclin binding partners. Previously, we have demonstrated that low doses of oligomycin result in a cell cycle arrest of HL-60 cells in G(1) [S. Sweet, G. Singh, Accumulation of human promyelocytic leukemic (HL-60) cells at two energetic cell cycle checkpoints, Cancer Res. 55 (1995) 5164-5167]. In this study, we provide the molecular mechanisms for the observed G(1) arrest following mitochondrial ATPase inhibition. Protein expression of cyclin E and CDK2, the kinase activity of complexed cyclin E/CDK2, and protein expression of p16, p21, and p27 were all unaffected by oligomycin administration. While CDK4 levels were unchanged following oligomycin treatment, a dramatic reduction in cyclin D(1) was observed. Moreover, increased amounts of hypo-phosphorylated retinoblastoma protein (Rbp) and Rbp bound E2F were observed following mitochondrial ATP synthase inhibition. These data provide further evidence that surveillance of available energy occurs during G(1) and ATP deprivation results in cell cycle arrest via a reduction in cyclin D.
