Abstract The induction of WAF1 gene expression after the treatment with the anticancer agent 1-(4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)methyl-3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosourea hydrochloride (ACNU; nimustine hydrochloride) was studied in two human glioblastoma cell lines: U-87MG, which bears the wild-type p53 gene, and T98G, which bears the mutant p53 gene. A marked accumulation of WAF1 was observed 3 h after ACNU treatment in both cell lines. The induction of WAF1 mRNA by ACNU was detected by northern blot analysis in these cells. Binding activity of p53 to a p53 consensus sequence increased after treatment in U-87MG cells but not in T98G cells. The existence of a p53-independent WAF1 induction pathway was supported by the apparent accumulation of WAF1 after ACNU treatment in the p53-null human osteosarcoma cell line Saos-2. These findings suggest that there are two possible pathways for WAF1 induction: the p53-dependent pathway through the p53-responsive element and the p53-independent pathway through other elements.
