In the developing vertebrate retina, progenitor cell proliferation
must be precisely regulated to ensure appropriate formation of the
mature tissue. Cyclin kinase inhibitors have been implicated as
important regulators of proliferation during development by blocking
the activity of cyclin-cyclin-dependent kinase complexes. We have
found that the p27Kip1 cyclin kinase inhibitor
regulates progenitor cell proliferation throughout retinal
histogenesis. p27Kip1 is upregulated during the late
G2/early G1 phase of the cell cycle in
retinal progenitor cells, where it interacts with the major retinal
D-type cyclin-cyclin D1. Mice deficient for p27Kip1
exhibited an increase in the proportion of mitotic cells throughout development as well as extensive apoptosis, particularly during the
later stages of retinal histogenesis. Retroviral-mediated overexpression of p27Kip1 in mitotic retinal
progenitor cells led to premature cell cycle exit yet had no dramatic
effects on Müller glial or bipolar cell fate specification as
seen with the Xenopus cyclin kinase inhibitor, p27Xic1. Consistent with the overexpression of
p27Kip1, mice lacking one or both alleles of
p27Kip1 maintained the same relative ratios of each
major retinal cell type as their wild-type littermates. During the
embryonic stages of development, when both p27Kip1
and p57Kip2 are expressed in retinal progenitor
cells, they were found in distinct populations, demonstrating directly
that different retinal progenitor cells are heterogeneous with respect
to their expression of cell cycle regulators.
