RESUMO

M1 clone S6 myeloid leukemic cells do not express detectable p53 protein. When stably transfected with a temperature-sensitive mutant of p53, these cells undergo rapid cell death upon induction of wild-type (wt) p53 activity at the permissive temperature. This process has features of apoptosis. In a number of other cell systems, wt p53 activation has been shown to induce a growth arrest. Yet, wt 53 fails to induce a measurable growth arrest in M1 cells, and cell cycle progression proceeds while viability is being lost. There exists, however, a relationship between the cell cycle and p53-mediated death, and cells in G1 appear to be preferentially susceptible to the death-inducing activity of wt p53. In addition, p53-mediated M1 cell death can be inhibited by interleukin-6. The effect of the cytokine is specific to p53-mediated death, since apoptosis elicited by serum deprivation is refractory to interleukin-6. Our data imply that p53-mediated cell death is not dependent on the induction of a growth arrest but rather may result from mutually incompatible growth-regulatory signals.
