Autocrine motility factor (AMF)/phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI; EC 5.3.1.9) is a housekeeping cytosolic enzyme that plays a key role in both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways. AMF/PGI is also a multifunctional protein that displays cytokine properties, eliciting mitogenic, motogenic, and differentiation activities, and has been implicated in tumor progression and metastasis. Because little is known about AMF/PGI-dependent signaling in general and during tumorigenesis in particular, we sought to study its effect on the cell cycle. To elucidate the functional role of PGI, we stably transfected its cDNA into NIH/3T3 and BALB/c 3T3-A31 fibroblasts. Ectopic overexpression of PGI results in the acquisition of a transformed phenotype associated with an acceleration of G1 to S cell cycle transition. These were manifested by up-regulation of cyclin D1 expression and cyclin-dependent kinase activity and down-regulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27Kip1. The reduced p27Kip1 protein expression level in PGI-overexpressing cells could be restored to control levels by treatment with proteasome inhibitor. PGI-overexpressing cells also exhibited elevated expression of Skp2 involved in p27Kip1 ubiquitination and elevation in the levels of retinoblastoma protein hyperphosphorylation. Thus, we may conclude that the overexpression of AMF/PGI enhances cell proliferation together with up-regulation of cyclin/cyclin-dependent kinase activities and down-regulation of p27Kip1, whereas the induction of 3T3 fibroblast transformation by PGI is regulated by the retinoblastoma protein pathway.
