ABSTRACT

p16INK4a (p16) inhibits the vital G1 to S phase transition during cell cycle progression through the p16/cyclin D1/CDK4/retinoblastoma(Rb)/E2F1 pathway. Hyperoxia can suppress the G1/S checkpoint and induce more lung fibroblasts (LFs) to transition from the G1 phase to the S phase and undergo cell proliferation. The present study investigated the rate of p16 gene promoter methylation and the protein expression levels of p16, cyclin D1, CDK4, Rb and E2F1 in LFs from the lungs of rats exposed to hyperoxia and normoxia on postnatal days 3, 7 and 14. In the hyperoxia-exposed group, the methylation rate was 50 and 80% on days 7 and 14, respectively. Cyclin D1 and CDK4 overexpression was associated with p16 loss and Rb inactivation by phosphorylation. Rb phosphorylation induced E2F1 release in the G1 phase, which promoted cell proliferation. No methylation was observed in the normoxia-exposed group. These observations suggested that p16 loss may stimulate aberrant LF proliferation via the p16/cyclin D1/CDK4/Rb/E2F1 pathway.
