TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: Human Cdc45 is a proliferation-associated antigen

Cell division cycle protein 45 (Cdc45) plays a critical role in DNA replica-tion to ensure that chromosomal DNA is replicated only once per cell cycle. We analysed the expression of human Cdc45 in proliferating and nonproliferating cells. | ỊFEBS Journal Human Cdc45 is a proliferation-associated antigen S. Pollok1 C. Bauerschmidt2 J. Sanger3 .

We analysed the expression of human Cdc45 in proliferating and nonproliferating cells. Our findings show that Cdc45 protein is absent from long-term quiescent terminally differentiated and senescent human cells although it is present throughout the cell cycle of proliferating cells. Moreover Cdc45 is much less abundant than the minichromosome maintenance Mcm proteins in human cells supporting the concept that origin binding of Cdc45 is rate limiting for replication initiation. We also show that the Cdc45 protein level is consistently higher in human cancer-derived cells compared with primary human cells. Consequently tumour tissue is preferentially stained using Cdc45-specific antibodies. Thus Cdc45 expression is tightly associated with proliferating cell populations and Cdc45 seems to be a promising candidate for a novel proliferation marker in cancer cell biology. In an adult human body only a small proportion of cells actively progresses through the mitotic cell cycle in self-renewing tissues 1
