The regulator of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) transcription (RFT) has been reported to be a transcriptional repressor of FGF-2 and induce glioma cell death by its overexpression. Here we report that RFT regulates cell cycle as well as apoptosis by a novel mechanism. RFT expressed in some glioma cell lines, U138MG and T98G, but neither in U87MG nor U251MG. Overexpressed RFT-induced apoptosis in U87MG and U138MG with functioning-type p53 but neither in U251MG nor T98G with non-functioning-type p53. Administration of FGF-2 failed to prevent RFT-induced apoptosis. Overexpression of RFT caused G1-S arrest and upregulated both the phosphorylation of p53 at Ser-15 and the expression level of p21(Waf1). Furthermore, RNAi knockdown of p53 abolished RFT-induced apoptosis in U87MG. Taken together, our results support that RFT regulates G1-S transition and apoptosis via p53/p21(Waf1) pathway.
