Regulación del crecimiento de un antígeno tumoral celular, p53, en células no transformadas
Nature
|March 8, 1984
Resumen
Los niveles de la proteína p53 del antígeno tumoral celular y el ARNm aumentan antes de que la síntesis de ADN en los fibroblastos vuelva a entrar en el ciclo celular. Esto sugiere que p53 juega un papel en la regulación del crecimiento celular y la progresión de un estado de crecimiento detenido.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- La bioquímica es la bioquímica.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las células transformadas a menudo exhiben niveles elevados del antígeno p53.3 del tumor celular.
- Se sabe que la proteína p53 está involucrada en la regulación del crecimiento celular.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar la expresión de p53 en fibroblastos 3T3 no transformados estimulados para volver a entrar en el ciclo celular desde un estado de quiescencia.
- Para entender el papel de p53 en la progresión del ciclo celular.
Principales métodos:
- Sincronizar cultivos de fibroblastos 3T3 liberándolos de la inhibición del crecimiento dependiente de la densidad con suero fresco.
- Medición de los niveles de estado de equilibrio de la proteína p53 y el ARNm a lo largo del tiempo después de la adición de suero.
- Analizando la tasa de síntesis de proteínas p53 en varios puntos de tiempo.
Principales resultados:
- Demostró un aumento en la síntesis de proteínas p53 y ARNm y niveles de estado estacionario.
- Se observó este aumento que se produce en la fase G1 tardía, anterior a la síntesis de ADN.
- Indicó una correlación entre la expresión de p53 y la reentrada en el ciclo celular.
Conclusiones:
- La expresión de p53 se regula al alza a medida que las células pasan de la quiescencia a la división activa.
- Es probable que p53 desempeñe un papel crucial en la facilitación de la progresión del ciclo celular desde un estado de detención del crecimiento.
- Los hallazgos contribuyen a comprender los mecanismos reguladores de la proliferación celular.

Negative Regulator Molecules
Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.
DNA Damage can Stall the Cell Cycle
In response to DNA damage, cells can pause the cell cycle to assess and repair the breaks. However, the cell must check the DNA at certain critical stages during the cell cycle. If the cell cycle pauses before DNA replication, the cells will contain twice the amount of DNA. On the other hand, if cells arrest after DNA replication but before mitosis, they will contain four times the normal amount of DNA. With a host of specialized proteins at their disposal,cells must use the right protein at...
Abnormal Proliferation
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the daughter...

Molecular Factors Affecting Cell Division
Several external and internal factors influence the initiation and inhibition of cell division. For instance, the death of nearby cells or the release of human growth hormone (hGH) promotes cell division. In contrast, lack of hGH or crowding of cells can inhibit cell division.
Several proteins function as internal regulators to ensure each cell cycle stage is completed faithfully before proceeding to the next. Regulator molecules may act directly or influence the activity or production of other...
