pubmed:abstractText
Mts1 is a metastasis-associated gene of the S-100 gene family and codes for a Ca2+-binding protein. It is highly expressed in murine and human cancers of high invasive and metastatic potential. Recent work has shown that the mts1 protein might be involved in cell cycle regulation. An upregulation of its expression drives cells into the S phase, together with an enhanced expression of p53 phosphoprotein, which has led to the suggestion that mtsl protein might be sequestering p53 thereby abrogating the G1-S checkpoint control normally exerted by p53. Preliminary studies showed that expression of mts1 is downregulated by hyperthermia. We present evidence that in murine BL6 melanoma cells and human HUT cells that hyperthermia downregulates the mts1 gene. It is also downregulated in heat-resistant variants of the B16 melanoma and HUT cells. In parallel, there is a decrease in the size of the S phase fraction and an increase in the doubling time of cells. Cell subjected to hyperthermia show an 2- to 3.5-fold increase in the expression of HSP28 which has been shown to possess a proliferation inhibitory action. It is postulated that a complete regulatory loop involving mtsl, p53, and HSP28 might be involved in cell proliferation.
