Normal human cells were heat shocked at 43 degrees C for 2 hr and recovered at 37 degrees C. The levels of p53 and p21 reached a maximum approximately 2 and 6 hr after the heat shock, respectively, and these levels were higher than the control level even at 24 hr. The fraction of S phase cells decreased significantly 8 hr after heat shock, and gradually thereafter. Heat-induced G1 arrest was not found in NCI-H1299 and HeLa cells, which are deficient in p53 function, indicating that p53 function is essential for G1 arrest after heat shock. We found little or no change in phosphorylation of retinoblastoma (RB) protein until 12 hr after heat shock, and a significant change at about 24 hr. No change in phosphorylation of RB at serine-780 and serine-795 occurred within 12 hr after heat shock. These results suggest that heat shock induces G1 arrest mediated by p53, but that G1 arrest within 12 hr after heat shock does not require RB dephosphorylation.

D016159 Tumor Suppressor Protein p53 Nuclear phosphoprotein encoded by the p53 gene (GENES, P53) whose normal function is to control CELL PROLIFERATION and APOPTOSIS. A mutant or absent p53 protein has been found in LEUKEMIA; OSTEOSARCOMA; LUNG CANCER; and COLORECTAL CANCER. p53 Tumor Suppressor Protein,Cellular Tumor Antigen p53,Oncoprotein p53,TP53 Protein,TRP53 Protein,p53 Antigen,pp53 Phosphoprotein,Phosphoprotein, pp53
D016160 Retinoblastoma Protein Product of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene. It is a nuclear phosphoprotein hypothesized to normally act as an inhibitor of cell proliferation. Rb protein is absent in retinoblastoma cell lines. It also has been shown to form complexes with the adenovirus E1A protein, the SV40 T antigen, and the human papilloma virus E7 protein.

D016193 G1 Phase The period of the CELL CYCLE preceding DNA REPLICATION in S PHASE. Subphases of G1 include "competence" (to respond to growth factors), G1a (entry into G1), G1b (progression), and G1c (assembly). Progression through the G1 subphases is effected by limiting growth factors, nutrients, or inhibitors.
