Abstract
We have previously shown that the down-regulation of protein kinase CKII activity is tightly associated with cellular senescence of human fibroblast IMR-90 cells. Here, we examined the roles of p53 and $p21^{Cip1/WAF1}$ in senescence development induced by CKII inhibition using wild-type, isogenic p53-/- and isogenic p21-/- HCT116 human colon cancer cell lines. A senescent marker appeared after staining for senescence-associated ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity in wild-type HCT116 cells treated with CKII inhibitor or $CKII{\alpha}$ siRNA, but this response was almost abolished in p53- or $p21^{Cip1/WAF1}$-null cells. Increased cellular levels of p53 and $p21^{Cip1/WAF1}$ protein occurred with the inhibition of CKII. CKII inhibition upregulated p53 and $p21^{Cip1/WAF1}$ expression at post-transcriptional level and transcription level, respectively. RB phosphorylation significantly decreased in cells treated with CKII inhibitor. Taken together, this study shows that the activation of the $p53-p21^{Cip1/WAF1}$ pathway acts as a major mediator of cellular senescence induced by CKII inhibition.
