p12CDK2-AP1 mediates DNA damage responses induced by cisplatin

Abstract

We examined the biological role of p12CDK2-AP1 in cisplatin-mediated responses by using murine ES p12CDK2-AP1 knockout clones generated by a targeted disruption of murine p12CDK2-AP1. Homozygous knockout clones showed an increased cellular proliferation along with an increase in S and a decrease in G2/M phase populations. Interestingly, ES p12CDK2-AP1 knockout clones showed a resistance to cisplatin treatment along with an increased DNA repair activity assessed by host cell reactivation assay using a cisplatin-damaged reporter DNA and a significant reduction of apoptosis upon cisplatin treatment. By using stable p12CDK2-AP1 short interfering RNA (siRNA) clones from human normal oral keratinocytes, we confirmed that downregulation of p12CDK2-AP1 resulted in a resistance to cisplatin. More interestingly, cisplatin treatment resulted in a reduction of CDK2 kinase activity in control clones, but p12CDK2-AP1 knockout clones showed a sustained CDK2 kinase activity. These data suggest that p12CDK2-AP1 plays a role in cisplatin-mediated cellular responses by modulating CDK2 activity. These data further suggest p12CDK2-AP1 is a potential gene therapeutic agent for oral/head and neck cancer in conjunction with DNA-damaging agents such as cisplatin.
