摘要

Aurora-A, a serine-threonine kinase, is frequently overexpressed in various human cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma. Aurora-A is highly expressed in fetal liver but barely detectable in the about liver of wild-type mice; however, Aurora-A expression is transiently induced during liver regeneration. To study the phenotypic effects of Aurora-A overexpression on liver regeneration and tumorigenesis, we generated transgenic mice overexpressing human Aurora-A in the liver. Our data revealed that overexpression of Aurora-A post-hepatectomy caused an earlier entry into S phase, sustained DNA synthesis and pre-mitotic arrest in the regenerating liver. Cytokinesis failure as indicated by a significant increase in bi-nuclear hepatocytes was detected in the transgenic mice. In addition, multipolar segregation and tri-nucleation of hepatocytes were observed post-hepatectomy, which suggests that defects accumulated after first round of the hepatocyte cell cycle. Interestingly, the p53-dependent checkpoint was activated by these abnormalities indicating that p53 plays a crucial role during liver regeneration Indeed, the pre-mitotic arrest and abnormal cell death caused by Aurora-A overexpression were genetically rescued by a p53 knockout. However, tri-nucleation of hepatocytes remained in the regenerating livers of the transgenic mice with a p53 knockout background indicating that the abnormal mitotic segregation and cytokinesis failure were p53-independent. Moreover, overexpression of Aurora-A in transgenic liver led to a low incidence (3.8%) of hepatic tumor formation after a long latency period. This transgenic mouse model provides a useful system that allows the study of the physiological effects of Aurora-A on hepatocyte cell cycle progression and the genetic pathways of Aurora-A-mediated tumorigenesis in liver.
