The hyaluronan (HA) receptor RHAMM is an important regulator of cell growth. Overexpression of RHAMM is transforming and is required for H-ras transformation. The molecular mechanism underlying growth control by RHAMM and other extracellular matrix receptors remains largely unknown. We report that soluble RHAMM induces G2/M arrest by suppressing the expression of Cdc2/Cyclin B1, a protein kinase complex essential for mitosis. Down-regulation of RHAMM by use of dominant negative mutants or antisense of mRNA also decreases Cdc2 protein levels. Suppression of Cdc2 occurs as a result of an increased rate of cdc2 mRNA degradation. Moreover, tumor cells treated with soluble RHAMM are unable to form lung metastases. Thus, we show that mitosis is directly linked to RHAMM through control of Cdc2 and Cyclin B1 expression. Failure to sustain levels of Cdc2 and Cyclin B1 proteins leads to cell cycle arrest.
透明质酸(HA)受体RHAMM是细胞生长的重要调节因子。RHAMM的过表达具有转化作用,并且是H-ras转化所必需的。RHAMM和其他细胞外基质受体调控生长的分子机制在很大程度上仍不清楚。我们报告称,可溶性RHAMM通过抑制Cdc2/细胞周期蛋白B1的表达诱导G2/M期阻滞,Cdc2/细胞周期蛋白B1是一种对有丝分裂至关重要的蛋白激酶复合物。使用显性负性突变体或mRNA反义技术下调RHAMM也会降低Cdc2蛋白水平。Cdc2的抑制是由于cdc2 mRNA降解速率增加所致。此外,用可溶性RHAMM处理的肿瘤细胞无法形成肺转移。因此,我们表明有丝分裂通过控制Cdc2和细胞周期蛋白B1的表达与RHAMM直接相关。无法维持Cdc2和细胞周期蛋白B1蛋白的水平会导致细胞周期阻滞。
