Adriamycin (ADM), widely used for systemic and local treatment of bladder tumors, triggers apoptosis in bladder cancer cells. Here we investigated the effect of ADM on cell cycle progression and expression of cell cycle regulating proteins in bladder cancer cell lines with various p53 and p21(WAF1/CIP1) status. Flowcytometric analysis was used to estimate the cell cycle distribution of T24, HT-1376, RT4, and SCaBER bladder cancer cell lines. Cell cycle regulating proteins were analyzed by Immunoblot. Treatment of RT4 cells, bearing wild type p53 and p21(WAF1/CIP1), with ADM induced expression of both proteins and cell cycle arrest, not in G1, as was anticipated, but in the G2 phase. Simultaneously, Retinoblastoma (Rb) protein expression was decreased. Expression of PCNA, which is a target gene of E2F, was not changed. The results suggest that even if the tumor cells bear wild type (wt) p53 and wt p21(WAF1/CIP1) and both proteins accumulate due to genotoxic stimuli, the cell cycle arrest might happen not in the G1 but in the G2 phase.
