Downregulation of {beta}1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 inhibits CDK11{sup p58}-mediated apoptosis induced by cycloheximide

Abstract

Cyclin-dependent kinase 11 (CDK11; also named PITSLRE) is part of the large family of p34{sup cdc2}-related kinases whose functions appear to be linked with cell cycle progression, tumorigenesis, and apoptotic signaling. The mechanism that CDK11{sup p58} induces apoptosis is not clear. Some evidences suggested {beta}1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 ({beta}1,4-GT 1) might participate in apoptosis induced by CDK11{sup p58}. In this study, we demonstrated that ectopically expressed {beta}1,4-GT 1 increased CDK11{sup p58}-mediated apoptosis induced by cycloheximide (CHX). In contrast, RNAi-mediated knockdown of {beta}1,4-GT 1 effectively inhibited apoptosis induced by CHX in CDK11{sup p58}-overexpressing cells. For example, the cell morphological and nuclear changes were reduced; the loss of cell viability was prevented and the number of cells in sub-G1 phase was decreased. Knock down of {beta}1,4-GT 1 also inhibited the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria and caspase-3 processing. Therefore, the cleavage of CDK11{sup p58} by caspase-3 was reduced. We proposed that {beta}1,4-GT 1 might contribute to the pro-apoptotic effect of CDK11{sup p58}. This may represent a new mechanism of {beta}1,4-GT 1 in CHX-induced apoptosis of CDK11{sup p58}-overexpressing cells.
