Exposure of hematopoietic cells to DNA-damaging agents induces
cell-cycle arrest at G1 and G2/M checkpoints. Previously, it was shown
that DNA damage-induced growth arrest of hematopoietic cells can be
overridden by treatment with cytokine growth factors, such as
erythropoietin (EPO) or interleukin-3 (IL-3). Here, the cytokine-activated signaling pathways required to override G1 and G2/M
checkpoints induced by -irradiation ( -IR) are
characterized. Using factor-dependent myeloid cells stably expressing
EPO receptor (EPO-R) mutants, it is shown that removal of a minimal
domain required for PI-3K signaling abrogated the ability of EPO to
override -IR-induced cell-cycle arrest. Similarly, the ability of
cytokines to override -IR-induced arrest was abolished by an
inhibitor of PI-3K (LY294002) or by overexpression of dominant-negative Akt. Moreover, the ability of EPO to override these checkpoints in
cells expressing defective EPO-R mutants could be restored by
overexpression of a constitutively active Akt. Thus, activation of a
PI-3K/Akt signaling pathway is required for cytokine-dependent suppression of DNA-damage induced checkpoints. Together, these findings
suggest a novel role for PI-3K/Akt pathways in the modulation of growth
arrest responses to DNA damage in hematopoietic cells.
