Downregulation of CDKN1A in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma despite overexpression of CDKN1A in human T-lymphotropic virus 1-infected cell lines.
Journal of Virology 2010 July
Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) causes an aggressive malignancy of T lymphocytes called adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), and expression of HTLV-1 Tax influences cell survival, proliferation, and genomic stability in the infected T lymphocytes. Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (CDKN1A/p21(waf1/Cip1)) is upregulated by Tax, without perturbation of cell cycle control. During an analysis of the gene expression profiles of ATLL cells, we found very low expression of CDKN1A in ATLL-derived cell lines and ATLL cells from patient samples, and epigenetic abnormalities including promoter methylation are one of the mechanisms for the low CDKN1A expression in ATLL cells. Three HTLV-1-infected cell lines showed high levels of expression of both CDKN1A and Tax, but expression of CDKN1A was detected in only two of six ATLL-derived cell lines. In both the HTLV-1-infected and ATLL cell lines, we found that activated Akt phosphorylates CDKN1A at threonine 145 (T145), leading to cytoplasmic localization of CDKNIA. In HTLV-1-infected cell lines, cytoplasmic CDKN1A did not inhibit the cell cycle after UV irradiation; however, following treatment with LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor, CDKN1A was dephosphorylated and relocalized to the nucleus, resulting in suppression of the cell cycle. In the ATLL cell lines, treatment with LY294002 did not inhibit the cell cycle but induced apoptosis with the cytoplasmic localization. Therefore, the low CDKN1A expression in ATLL cells may be a key player in ATLL leukemogenesis, and the abnormal genomic methylation may influence the expression of not only HTLV-1 Tax but also CDKN1A during long-term development of ATLL from the HTLV-1-infected T lymphocytes.
