タイトル Prohibitin-2 is a novel regulator of p21WAF1/CIP1 induced by depletion of γ-glutamylcyclotransferase.
ジャーナル Biochem Biophys Res Commun
Abstract Previous studies show that gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase (GGCT) is expressed at high levels in various cancer tissues and that its knockdown inhibits MCF7 cancer cell growth via upregulation of p21WAF1/CIP1 (p21). However, the detailed underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, we used yeast two-hybrid screening and co-immunoprecipitation to identify Prohibitin-2 (PHB2) as a novel protein that interacts with GGCT. We also show that nuclear expression of PHB2 in MCF7 cells falls upon GGCT knockdown, and that overexpression of PHB2 inhibits p21 upregulation. A chromatin immunoprecipitation assay revealed that nuclear PHB2 proteins bind to the p21 promoter, and that this interaction is abrogated by GGCT knockdown. Moreover, knockdown of PHB2 alone led to significant upregulation of p21 and mimicked the cellular events induced by GGCT depletion, including G0/G1 arrest, cellular senescence, and growth inhibition, in a p21 induction-dependent manner. Taken together, the results indicate that PHB2 plays a central role in p21 upregulation following GGCT knockdown and as such may promote deregulated proliferation of cancer cells by suppressing p21.
