Cell cycle progression is monitored by highly coordinated checkpoint machinery, which is activated to induce cell cycle arrest until defects like DNA damage are corrected. We have isolated an anti-proliferative cell cycle regulator named G2A (for G2 accumulation), which is predominantly expressed in immature T and B lymphocyte progenitors and is a member of the seven membrane-spanning G protein-coupled receptor family. G2A overexpression attenuates the transformation potential of BCR-ABL and other oncogenes, and leads to accumulation of cells at G2/M independently of p53 and c-Abl. G2A can be induced in lymphocytes and to a lesser extent in nonlymphocyte cell lines or tissues by multiple stimuli including different classes of DNA-damaging agents and serves as a response to damage and cellular stimulation which functions to slow cell cycle progression.
细胞周期进程由高度协调的检查点机制监控,该机制被激活以诱导细胞周期停滞,直到诸如DNA损伤等缺陷得到纠正。我们分离出一种名为G2A(G2期积累)的抗增殖细胞周期调节因子,它主要在未成熟的T和B淋巴细胞祖细胞中表达,是七跨膜G蛋白偶联受体家族的成员。G2A的过表达减弱了BCR-ABL和其他癌基因的转化潜能,并导致细胞在G2/M期积累,且不依赖于p53和c-Abl。G2A可在淋巴细胞中被多种刺激诱导产生,在非淋巴细胞系或组织中诱导程度较低,这些刺激包括不同类型的DNA损伤剂,它作为对损伤和细胞刺激的一种反应,其作用是减缓细胞周期进程。
