Abstract

The cell cycle inhibitors p21(Waf1/Cip1) and p27(Kip1) are frequently downregulated in many human cancers, and correlate with a worse prognosis. We show here that combined deficiency in p21 and p27 proteins in mice is linked to more aggressive spontaneous tumorigenesis, resulting in a decreased lifespan. The most common tumors developed in p21p27 double-null mice were endocrine, with a higher incidence of pituitary adenomas, pheochromocytomas and thyroid adenomas. The combined absence of p21 and p27 proteins delays the incidence of radiation-induced thymic lymphomas with a higher apoptotic rate, measured by active caspase-3 and cleaved PARP-1 immunoexpresion. These results provide experimental evidence for a cooperation of both cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors in tumorigenesis in mice.
