Abstract

Apoptosis and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) have been implicated in a variety of biological processes, such as embryonic development, fibrosis and tumor progression. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) can induce simultaneously both EMT and apoptotic response of epithelial cells. However, the underlying mechanism of these biological events remains not well understood. In the present study, we show that TGF-beta1 induces apoptosis and EMT in AML-12 cells in a cell cycle-related manner, in which apoptosis and EMT took place at G2/M and G1/S phases, respectively. TGF-beta1-induced apoptosis was correlated with different extent of caspase activation at different cell cycle phases. Interestingly, increased phosphorylation of protein kinase D (PKD) can be observed in G1/S phase in response to TGF-beta1, and inhibition of PKD by inhibitor or by small interference RNA blocked EMT but not apoptosis. Our data suggest a previously unrecognized role of cell cycle state in the regulation of TGF-beta-induced EMT and apoptosis, and demonstrate that PKD is involved in the TGF-beta1-induced EMT.
