Abstract

The induction of apoptosis by cell cycle regulator molecules under conditions optimal for exponential growth was examined in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells by overexpression of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks). By flow cytometry and by immunofluorescence, only cells overexpressing cdk4 or cyclin D1 underwent apoptosis, which was not associated with G1-arrest. Cdk4 kinase activity was significantly higher in cdk4-, or cyclin D1-expressing cells. Furthermore, induction of apoptosis by cdk4 was abrogated by co-transfection of p16^INK4, or dominant negative cdk4. These results suggest that upregulation of cdk4 kinase activity is a primary and critical mediator of apoptosis in PC12 cells under physiological conditions.
