All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-induced growth arrest of myeloid cells is associated with a sequential regulation of cyclins and CKIs, which modulates the cell-cycle machinery and inhibits the G1-S phase progression. ATRA-treatment of myeloid cells induces up-regulation and tyrosine phosphorylation of Stat1, a member of the STAT transcription factor family that has been implicated in growth arrest in response to interferons. We have previously shown that ATRA-induced cell cycle arrest is dependent on tyrosine phosphorylated Stat1. In this study, we show that there is a basal level of Stat1 Ser-727 phosphorylation in U-937 cells, which is transiently increased in response to ATRA treatment. Using Stat1S727A expressing sublines, we provide evidence that Ser-727 phosphorylation of Stat1 is required for ATRA-induced growth arrest. To shed further light on the role of Stat1 in ATRA-induced cell cycle arrest, cyclin and CKI expression was analyzed during ATRA-treatment in U-937 sublines expressing Stat1S727A and Stat1Y701F. Our results show that Ser-727/Tyr-701 phosphorylated Stat1 plays a key role as a prerequisite for the ATRA-induced down-regulation of c-Myc, cyclins A, B, D2, D3 and E, and the simultaneous up-regulation of p27 Kip1, associated with arrest in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle.
