Abstract | Background & Aims: Cell cycle related kinase (CCRK) is a newly identified cdk-activating kinase (CAK) homologous to Cdk7. The aim of
this study was to investigate the role of CCRK in centrosome duplication in colon cancer cells. Methods: We designed small interfering
RNAs targeting CCRK (siCCRK) and examined cell cycle progression, centrosome duplication, and mitotic catastrophe in colon cancer cell
lines. Results: Suppression of CCRK by siCCRK could significantly inhibit the growth of the colon cancer cells. Flow cytometry analysis
demonstrated that CCRK knock-down resulted in G1 and G2-M phase arrests, induced mitotic catastrophe and suppressed centrosome
duplication, which were accompanied by downregulation in cyclin E, phosphorylated Cdk2, and phosphorylated Rb. Conclusions: CCRK is
crucial for cell cycle progression and is necessary for centrosome duplication in colon cancer cells. |
