    Growth kinetics, cell cycle checkpoint control, and suppression of recombination of <t>p53+/+,</t> p53+/−, p53+/m, and p53−/− MEFs. A. Representative growth kinetics of p53+/+, p53+/−, p53+/m, and p53−/− MEFs. 750,000 cells were plated onto 10cm dishes and collected and counted on the days indicated. T-tests on multiple growth experiments indicated no significant difference between p53+/+ and p53+/m growth rates (P = 0.61), while growth rate differences between p53+/m and p53+/− MEFs were significantly different (P = 0.003). B. S phase fractions in rapidly dividing MEFs of different p53 genotypes. MEFs were analyzed for DNA content and BrdU incorporation by flow cytometry and the percentage of cells in S phase was calculated. T-tests indicated the S phase fractions of p53+/m and p53+/+ MEFs were not significantly different (P = 0.47), while S phase fractions of p53+/m and p53+/− MEFs were significantly different and are indicated by an asterisk (P = 0.05). C. Suppression of recombination in p53+/+, p53+/−, p53+/m, and p53−/− passage 1−3 MEFs. p53+/+, p53+/−, p53+/m, and p53−/− MEFs were infected with a retrovirus expressing two tandem copies of mutant forms of a <t>GFP-Zeocin</t> gene as well as a neomycin resistance marker. MEFs were selected with G418 or G418 plus Zeocin to determine the recombination frequencies. The p53+/m MEFs have a recombination frequency roughly equal to that of p53+/+ MEFs. The difference in recombination frequency between p53+/m and p53+/− MEFs is highly significant (P < .0001) and is indicated by three asterisks. Differences between p53+/+ and p53+/− MEFs are also statistically significant (P < .0001).

    Growth kinetics, cell cycle checkpoint control, and suppression of recombination of p53+/+, p53+/−, p53+/m, and p53−/− MEFs. A. Representative growth kinetics of p53+/+, p53+/−, p53+/m, and p53−/− MEFs. 750,000 cells were plated onto 10cm dishes and collected and counted on the days indicated. T-tests on multiple growth experiments indicated no significant difference between p53+/+ and p53+/m growth rates (P = 0.61), while growth rate differences between p53+/m and p53+/− MEFs were significantly different (P = 0.003). B. S phase fractions in rapidly dividing MEFs of different p53 genotypes. MEFs were analyzed for DNA content and BrdU incorporation by flow cytometry and the percentage of cells in S phase was calculated. T-tests indicated the S phase fractions of p53+/m and p53+/+ MEFs were not significantly different (P = 0.47), while S phase fractions of p53+/m and p53+/− MEFs were significantly different and are indicated by an asterisk (P = 0.05). C. Suppression of recombination in p53+/+, p53+/−, p53+/m, and p53−/− passage 1−3 MEFs. p53+/+, p53+/−, p53+/m, and p53−/− MEFs were infected with a retrovirus expressing two tandem copies of mutant forms of a GFP-Zeocin gene as well as a neomycin resistance marker. MEFs were selected with G418 or G418 plus Zeocin to determine the recombination frequencies. The p53+/m MEFs have a recombination frequency roughly equal to that of p53+/+ MEFs. The difference in recombination frequency between p53+/m and p53+/− MEFs is highly significant (P < .0001) and is indicated by three asterisks. Differences between p53+/+ and p53+/− MEFs are also statistically significant (P < .0001).

Western blots were normalized to actin, quantitated by densitometry and graphed as the percent p53 remaining over time relative to the zero time point. The graph represents the average of three independent experiments (and independent MEF lines). Error bars represent standard error of the mean. Statistical analyses (ANOVA) indicated that cycloheximide treated p53+/m cells exhibited significant increases in p53 stability compared to similarly treated p53+/− cells (P = 0.04). C. p53 protein levels in p53+/m and p53+/− MEFs after treatment with proteasome inhibitors. Two different isolates of of low passage p53+/− MEFs (MEF-1: lanes 1,2; MEF-2: lanes 3,4) and p53+/m MEFs (MEF-3: lanes 5,6; MEF-4: lanes 7,8) were untreated or treated with proteasome inhibitors MG101 and MG132 for 6 hours prior to harvest. p53 protein levels accumulate upon proteasome inhibitor treatment in p53+/− MEFs, but are not significantly increased in p53+/m MEFs implying that p53 is protected from proteasomal degradation in p53+/m MEFs. D. p53 protein levels are less sensitive to proteasome inhibitors in p53+/m MEFs. Western blots in C were normalized to actin and quantitated by densitometry. The values shown are the average p53 levels of three independent MEF lines for each genotype and error bars represent standard error. *P < 0.01 compared to p53+/− untreated control. CHX: cycloheximide.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: p53 protein levels are more stable in p53+/m MEFs compared to p53+/− MEFs. A. p53 protein levels in the absence of de novo protein synthesis. Low passage MEFs were treated with cycloheximide and cell lysates collected at the indicated time points. B. p53+/m MEFs exhibit increased p53 stability compared to p53+/− MEFs.

    Article Snippet: Membranes were probed with p53 antibodies (FL393 or DO-1, Santa Cruz) or GFP (B-2, Santa Cruz) to detect GFP tagged p53 and M. To detect MDM2, membranes were probed with a mixture of Ab-4 and Ab-5 (Calbiochem).

    The M protein enhances the stability of full-length p53. U2OS cells were transfected with plasmids encoding M and M mutants as indicated. A. p53 protein levels in the absence of de novo protein synthesis. Cells were treated with cycloheximide and protein lysates collected at the indicated time points followed by a Western blot for total p53. B. Graphical representation of total p53 levels in A after normalization to actin levels. Blots were scanned on a GE Storm 860 imager and quantitated using ImageQuant software. The graphs indicate the percent p53 remaining relative to the zero time point. Values represent the average of three independent experiments and error bars represent standard error. Statistical analyses (ANOVA) indicated that empty vector transfected U2OS cells exhibited significantly less p53 stability than cells transfected with M or mutant M vectors (P < .0001). C. p53 protein levels after treatment with proteasome inhibitors. Following transfection with empty vector or M, U2OS cells were treated with the proteasome inhibitors MG101 and MG132 for 6 hours. Cells were harvested and p53 protein levels analyzed by Western blot. p53 accumulates in the presence of the proteasome inhibitors in cells transfected with empty vector. However, p53 protein levels are not affected in cells transfected with M, indicating that the M protein protects p53 from proteasomal degradation.

    The M protein does not enhance p53 stability by disrupting MDM2 function. p53 null Saos-2 cells were transfected with combinations of p53, M, and MDM2 as indicated. A. The M protein increases MDM2-p53 interactions. Lysates from transfected Saos-2 cells were immunoprecipitated with a p53 antibody, and Western blots were probed with antibodies to p53 and MDM2. MDM2 is readily detected in complex with p53 in the presence of M. The Western blot of total lysate prior to immunoprecipitation is also shown. B. Ubiquitination of p53. U2OS cells were transfected with the indicated combinations of M and MDM2. Total p53 was immunoprecipitated and Western blots were probed with antibodies to Ubiquitin, p53, and MDM2. IP: Immunoprecipitate, WB: Western blot, WCE: whole cell extract, Ub: ubiquitin.
