We have investigated the role of the cellular p53 protein in the induction of growth in size and cell DNA replication in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and in monocyte/macrophage-depleted lymphocyte (MDL) cultures stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA). Our results show that in human lymphocytes exposed to PHA, the induction of p53 protein synthesis and accumulation correlates with the extent of cellular DNA replication, rather than with growth in size. Moreover, the induction of p53 is dependent on the presence of the T-cell mitogen, Interleukin-2. A monoclonal antibody to Interleukin-2 receptors (anti-Tac) inhibits PHA-stimulated cellular DNA synthesis, and this inhibition is correlated with a reduction in the percentage of p53-positive cells. We conclude from this work that the p53 protein is a cell cycle-dependent gene whose expression can be regulated by different mitogens in different cell types.
