Neuronal death evoked by DNA damage requires cyclin-dependent
kinase 4 (Cdk4) and 6 activity and is accompanied by elevation of cyclin D1-associated kinase activity. Because Cdk4/6
phosphorylates retinoblastoma protein (pRb) family members that
then modulate the transcriptional activity of E2F/DP1 complexes,
we examined the involvement of these components in DNA damage-evoked
neuronal death. Camptothecin induced rapid pRb and p107 phosphorylation at a Cdk4/6 phosphorylation site followed by selective loss of Rb and
p107. The CDK inhibitor flavopiridol suppressed pRb and p107
phosphorylation and loss, implicating CDK activity in these events.
Moreover, the loss of pRb and p107 appeared to be mediated by caspases
because it was blocked by general caspase inhibitors. The role of
phosphorylation and pRb and p107 loss in the death pathway was
indicated by observations that virally mediated expression of pRb
mutated at sites of phosphorylation, including the Cdk4/6 site,
inhibited death. Finally, expression of dominant-negative versions of
DP1, known to compromise E2F transcriptional activity, protects
cortical neurons from death induced by camptothecin and sympathetic
neurons from death evoked by UV treatment. Taken together, these
results implicate the CDK-pRb/E2F/DP pathway as a required element in
the neuronal death evoked by DNA damage.
