G(1) phase cell cycle arrest after exposure to ionizing radiation has been documented in cells with wild-type p53. The temporal location of this arrest within G(1) phase, however, has not been determined. We have now used flow cytometric analysis of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd)-labeled cells to obtain further information about the location of the G(1) phase radiation checkpoint. Human fibroblasts were irradiated with gamma-rays and treated with colcemid to stop unlabeled G(2) cells from entering the G(1) phase. Analysis of BrdUrd incorporation revealed that 73% of G(1) phase human lung fibroblasts remain in G(1) phase after exposure to gamma-rays, thereby placing the G(1) radiation checkpoint near the end of G(1) phase. The location of the radiation checkpoint correlates with the reported increased expression of cyclin E, increased cyclin E/cdk2 kinase activity, and hyperphosphorylation of pRb in proliferating human fibroblasts.
