Ctdp1 deletion impairs MEF proliferation and promotes cell cycle arrest. (A) Ctdp1+/+ and Ctdp1flox/flox MEF proliferation after Lenti-Cre transduction. (B) Cell cycle analysis of the Ctdp1+/+ and Ctdp1flox/flox MEFs 5 days post Lenti-Cre transduction. Presented as mean±s.e.m., n=3. P-values ≤0.05 are displayed. (C–E) Western blot analysis of DNA damage response proteins (C), G1-S and G2-M transition related proteins (D), and RB phosphorylation (E) in Ctdp1+/+ and Ctdp1flox/flox MEFs with and without Lenti-Cre transduction. (F) Working model illustrating that Ctdp1 KO upregulates the CDK inhibitor p27 (red arrow), which functions to inhibit cell cycle progression through G1-S and G2-M transitions. Loss of Ctdp1 also downregulates (blue arrows) pRB, Cyclin B and pHistone H3 which promote G1-S transition, G2-M transition and M phase entry, respectively.
