17679552 Kim YK: TGF-beta1 induction of p21WAF1/cip1 requires smad-independent protein kinase C signaling pathway. Arch Pharm Res. 2007 Jun;30(6):739-42.


Although it has been demonstrated that p21WAF1/Cip1 could be induced by transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) in a Smad-dependent manner, the cross-talk of Smad signaling pathway with other signaling pathways still remains poorly understood.

Western blot analysis was performed to examine the activation of the Raf-1/mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase/ERK pathway, chromogranin A production, and p21CIP1 level.

Importantly, SBHA treatment resulted in an increase in protein levels of p21 (CIP1/WAF1), p27 (KIP1), cleaved caspase-9, cleaved caspase-3, and cleaved poly ADP-ribose polymerase and concomitant with a decrease in cyclin D1 and cyclin B1, indicating that the growth inhibition was due to both cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Consequently, the inhibition of GSK-3beta decreased the nuclear factor-kappaB activity, the NF-kappaB-dependent gene expression, and COX2 expression, but enhanced p21 (WAF1/Cip1) transcription.

C75 suppressed Her2 and epidermal growth factor receptor expression as well as STAT3 phosphorylation, while increasing p53 and p21 (Waf1/Cip1) expression.
