1 Ceramide is known to induce pRb (retinoblastoma gene product) dephosphorylation through the activation of ceramide-activated protein phosphatase (CAPP) during G1 arrest, but other molecular mechanisms linked to regulation of pRb dephosphorylation during ceramide-induced G1 arrest are poorly understood.

4 In this paper, we investigated whether p21, a cdk (cyclin-dependent kinase) inhibitor, is involved in the induction of pRb dephosphorylation during ceramide-induced G1 arrest. Ceramides RB transcriptional corepressor 1 Homo sapiens
5 In SK-Hep-1 cells, the addition of ceramide resulted in pRb dephosphorylation and G1 arrest. Ceramides RB transcriptional corepressor 1 Homo sapiens
6 Although p21 is induced in ceramide-treated Hep3B cells, Hep3B cells do not induce G1 arrest, because Hep3B cells are deficient in a functional pRb protein. Ceramides RB transcriptional corepressor 1 Homo sapiens
7 After treatment with ceramide, pRb-expressing cells (pRb+/+), but not pRb-/- cells, were arrested in G1 phase. Ceramides RB transcriptional corepressor 1 Homo sapiens
8 After treatment with ceramide, pRb-expressing cells (pRb+/+), but not pRb-/- cells, were arrested in G1 phase. Ceramides RB transcriptional corepressor 1 Homo sapiens
9 After treatment with ceramide, pRb-expressing cells (pRb+/+), but not pRb-/- cells, were arrested in G1 phase. Ceramides RB transcriptional corepressor 1 Homo sapiens
10 In pRb+/+ cells, ceramide-mediated G1 arrest was accompanied by the accumulation of hypophosphorylated pRb and p21 associated with cdk2. Ceramides RB transcriptional corepressor 1 Homo sapiens
11 In pRb+/+ cells, ceramide-mediated G1 arrest was accompanied by the accumulation of hypophosphorylated pRb and p21 associated with cdk2. Ceramides RB transcriptional corepressor 1 Homo sapiens
12 Together, these results suggest that p21, induced through p53-independent pathway, participates in the induction of pRb dephosphorylation by inhibiting cdk2 activity during ceramide-mediated G1 arrest in hepatocarcinoma cells. Ceramides RB transcriptional corepressor 1 Homo sapiens
