| Abstract: | Acrylamide (ACR) has been recognized as a neurological and reproductive toxin in humans and laboratory animals. This study aimed to determine the effects of ACR-induced DNA damage on cell cycle regulation in human astrocytoma cell lines. Treatment of U-1240 MG cells with 2 mM ACR for 48 h resulted in a significant inhibition of cell proliferation as evaluated by Ki-67 protein expression and MTT assay. The analysis of DNA damage with the comet assay showed that treatment of the cells with 0.5, 1, and 2 mM ACR for 48 h caused significant increases in DNA damage by 3.5-, 4-, and 14-fold, respectively. Meanwhile, analysis of cell-cycle arrest with flow cytometry revealed that the ACR treatments resulted in significant increases in the G(0)/G(1)-arrested cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Expression of DNA damage-associated/checkpoint-related signaling molecules, including phosphorylated-p53 (pp53), p53, p21, p27, Cdk2, and cyclin D(1), in three human astrocytoma cell lines (U-1240 MG, U-251 MG, and U-87 MG) was also analyzed by immunoblotting. Treatment of the three cell lines with 2 mM ACR for 48 h caused marked increases in pp53 and Cdk2, as well as decreases in cyclin D(1) and p27. Moreover, increases in p53 and p21 were detected in both U-1240 and U-87 MG cells, whereas no marked change in p53 and a decrease in p21 were observed in U-251 MG cells. To address the involvement of ataxia telangiectasia mutated/ATM-Rad3-related (ATM/ATR) kinase in the signaling of ACR-induced G(0)/G(1) arrest, caffeine was used to block the ATM/ATR pathway in U-1240 MG cells. Caffeine significantly attenuated the ACR-induced G(0)/G(1) arrest as well as the expression of DNA damage-associated/checkpoint-related signaling molecules in a dose-dependent manner. This in vitro study clearly demonstrates the critical role of ATM/ATR in the signaling of ACR-induced cell-cycle arrest in astrocytoma cells. |
