Cigarette smoking causes profound suppression of pulmonary T cell responses, which is associated with increased susceptibility to respiratory tract infections and decreased tumor surveillance. We previously demonstrated that the phenolic compounds in cigarette tar inhibit blastogenesis and interfere with human T cell cycle progression. To identify the mechanism by which cell cycle arrest occurs, we examined the effects of these compounds on cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk) that control the G(0)/G(1) transition. We found that hydroquinone inhibited induction of Cdk4 and Cdk6 kinase activities by > 80%, while catechol and phenol were markedly less potent. HQ did not affect mitogenic induction of the Cdk6 protein, but inhibited expression of cyclin D3 by > 90% resulting in a dramatic reduction in proper Cdk6/Cyclin D3 complex formation.
