ABSTRACT
Eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF-5A) contains an unusual amino acid, hypusine, which is formed post-translationally. Although eIF-5A and its hypusine modification are essential for eukaryotic cell viability, the precise physiological function of it has remained elusive. The aim of the study is to investigate how hypusine formation modulate the proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis in leukaemia cells. The effects of 1,7-diaminoheptane (DAH), a potent inhibitor of deoxyhypusine synthase, on proliferation and cell viability of leukemia cell lines (Mo7e, TF-1 and THP-1) and MCF-7 cells, were investigated. eIF-5A expression level was detected after cell synchronization. The results showed that inhibition of cell proliferation by DAH was in a concentration-dependent manner while apoptosis was also induced at the same time. Upon treatment of the cell lines with DAH, cell growth was inhibited. Cell cycle analysis showed that DAH induced cell growth arrest at the G(1)-S boundary of the cell cycle. In synchronized MCF-7 cells, the expression level of eIF-5A peaked at G(1) phase but very low at S and G(2)/M phases. It is concluded that hypusine formation of eIF-5A exits in the regulation of cell cycle and the results suggest that eIF-5A is involved in the expression of proteins regulating transition of G(1)-S phase of cell cycle.
