Retinoic Acid Prevents Phosphorylation of pRB in Normal Human B

The mechanisms underlying the growth-inhibitory effect of retinoids
on normal human B lymphocytes are not well understood. We addressed
this issue by examining the effect of retinoic acid on the cell cycle
machinery involved in G1/S transition. When retinoic acid was
administered to B cells stimulated into mid to late G1 by anti-IgM
antibodies (anti-µ) and Staphylococcus aureus crude cell
suspension (SAC), the phosphorylation of pRB required for S-phase entry
was prevented in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Thus, 2-hour
treatment with retinoic acid at the optimal concentration of 1 µmol/L
prevented phosphorylation of pRB, and effects were noted at
concentrations as low as 10 nmol/L. Based on our results, we suggest
that the rapid effect of retinoic acid on pRB phosphorylation is due
primarily to the reduced expression of cyclin E and cyclin A in late
G1. This could lead to the diminished cyclin E- and cyclin
A-associated kinase activities noted as early as 2 hours after
addition of retinoic acid. Furthermore, our results imply that the
transient induction of p21Cip1 could also be involved.
Thus, retinoic acid induced a rapid, but transient increased binding of
p21Cip1 to CDK2. The retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonist
TTNPB mimicked the key events affected by retinoic acid, such as pRB
phosphorylation, cyclin E expression, and expression of
p21Cip1, whereas the RAR-selective antagonist Ro 41-5253 counteracted the effects of retinoic acid. This implies that retinoic
acid mediates its growth-inhibitory effect on B lymphocytes via the nuclear receptors.
