Deregulation of Cdt1 induces chromosomal damage without rereplication and leads to chromosomal instability

The activity of human Cdt1 is negatively regulated by multiple mechanisms. This suggests that Cdt1 deregulation may have a deleterious effect. Indeed, it has been suggested that overexpression of Cdt1 can induce rereplication in cancer cells and that rereplication activates Ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) kinase and/or ATM- and Rad3-related (ATR) kinase-dependent checkpoint pathways. In this report, we highlight a new and interesting aspect of Cdt1 deregulation: data from several different systems all strongly indicate that unregulated Cdt1 overexpression at pathophysiological levels can induce chromosomal damage other than rereplication in non-transformed cells. The most important finding in these studies is that deregulated Cdt1 induces chromosomal damage and activation of the ATM-Chk2 DNA damage checkpoint pathway even in quiescent cells. These Cdt1 activities are negatively regulated by cyclin A/Cdks, probably through modification by phosphorylation. Furthermore, we found that deregulated Cdt1 induces chromosomal instability in normal human cells. Since Cdt1 is overexpressed in cancer cells, this would be a new molecular mechanism leading to carcinogenesis.
