Cell Proliferation: From Signal Transduction to Cell Cycle

Abstract

Eukaryotic cells have highly coordinated mechanisms to control cell proliferation. These include mitogenic signaling and cell cycle control. Cells receive a variety of positive and negative signals from external (growth factors, stresses, etc.) and internal (DNA damage, microtubule integrity, etc.) conditions and must decide to start or cease the cell cycle in response to these signals. Malignant cells arise as a result of a stepwise progression of genetic events that include short-circuited signal transduction and unregulated cell cycle progression. This review focuses on several aspects of cell proliferation control and target molecules for bioprobes which are highly useful in exploring the molecular mechanisms of cell proliferation control. Inhibitors of cell proliferation include a variety of classical cytotoxic compounds such as DNA-damaging agents, membrane-attacking agents, macromolecular synthesis inhibitors, and inhibitors of the respiratory system. Although some of these cytotoxic compounds are useful in analyzing cellular functions, this review focuses on relatively recent inhibitors of cell proliferation, of which targets are involved in the regulation of signal transduction and the cell cycle.
