Our aim was to examine the involvement of G(1) cell-cycle regulators in cell growth dysregulation induced by HTLV-I. Compared to uninfected cells, higher expression levels of cyclin D1 and D2 mRNA were detected in HTLV-I-infected T-cell lines, which were at least in part mediated by the viral transforming protein Tax since Tax activated both cyclin D1 and D2 promoters in the human T-cell line Jurkat. A Tax mutant that did not activate NF-kappaB failed to activate cyclin D1 and D2 promoters. Inhibitors of NF-kappaB (dominant negative IkappaBs mutants) suppressed Tax-dependent activation of cyclin D1 and D2 promoters, indicating that Tax-induced activation was mediated by NF-kappaB. Wild-type and mutant Tax capable of activating NF-kappaB, but not Tax mutant incapable of activating NF-kappaB, converted cell growth of a T-cell line from being IL-2-dependent to being IL-2-independent; and this conversion was associated with IL-2-independent induction of cyclins D1 and D2. Our data suggest that induction of cyclins D1 and D2 by Tax is involved in IL-2-independent cell-cycle progression as well as IL-2-independent transformation of primary human T cells by HTLV-I. High expression levels of cyclin D1 and D2 mRNAs were also detected in some patients with ATL. Our findings link HTLV-I infection to changes in cellular D-type cyclin gene expression, transformation of T cells and subsequent development of T-cell leukemia.
