Forced expression of K10, a keratin normally
expressed in postmitotic, terminally differentiating epidermal
keratinocytes, inhibits the progression of the cell cycle in cultured
cells (Paramio, J. M., Casanova, M. Ll., Segrelles, C., Mittnacht,
S., Lane, E. B., and Jorcano, J. L. (1999) Mol. Cell.
Biol. 19, 3086-3094). This process requires a functional
retinoblastoma (pRb) gene product and is mediated by K10-induced
inhibition of Akt and PKC , two signaling intermediates belonging to
the phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase signal transduction pathway
(Paramio, J. M., Segrelles, C., Ruiz, S., and Jorcano, J. L. (2001)
Mol. Cell. Biol. 21, 7449-7459). Extending earlier
in vitro studies to the in vivo situation, this work analyzes the alterations found in transgenic mice that ectopically express K10 in the proliferative basal cells of the epidermis. Increased expression of K10 led to a hypoplasic and hyperkeratotic epidermis due to a dramatic decrease in skin keratinocyte proliferation in association with the inhibition of Akt and PKC activities. The
inhibition of cell proliferation and Akt and PKC activities was also
observed although to a minor extent in low hK10-expressing mice. These
animals displayed no overt epidermal phenotype nor overexpression of
K10. In these non-phenotypic mice, ectopic K10 expression also resulted
in decreased skin tumorigenesis. Collectively, these data demonstrate
that keratin K10 in vivo functions include the control of
epithelial proliferation in skin epidermis.
