Expression of the p16 and p15 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors in lymphocyte activation and neuronal differentiation
Abstract
The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p16INK4/MTS1 and p15INK4B/MTS2 have been mapped to a region in chromosome 9 (921) that is deleted frequently in acute lymphoblastic leukemias and malignant gliomas. To gain insight into the functions of these inhibitors in lymphocytes and neuronal cells, we studied the expression of p15 and p16 during lymphocyte mitogenesis and neuronal differentiation. Expression of p15 was extinguished during lymphocyte activation, concomitant with an increase in retinoblastoma kinase activity. The differentiation of the embryonic teratocarcinoma cell line NT2 into postmitotic neurons (hNT) was associated with enhanced expression of p15 and p16 proteins. These findings suggest that p15 and p16 play a role in maintaining cell quiescence in lymphocytes and neuronal cells, respectively. Deletions of these genes may thus promote unrestrained growth.
