Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is the causative agent of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). However, the low incidence of ATL among HTLV-I-infected carriers, together with a long latent period, suggests that multiple host-viral events are involved in the progression of HTLV-I-dependent transformation and subsequent development of ATL. Human thioredoxin (TRX) is a redox active protein highly expressed in HTLV-I-transformed cell lines, whereas the TRX-binding protein-2/vitamin D3 up-regulated protein 1 (TBP-2/VDUP1) was recently identified as a negative regulator of TRX. We report here that expression of TBP-2 is lost in HTLV-I-positive, interleukin-2-independent T-cell lines but maintained in HTLV-I-positive, interleukin-2-dependent T-cell lines, as well as HTLV-I-negative T-cell lines. Ectopic overexpression of TBP-2 in HTLV-I-positive T cells resulted in growth suppression. In the TBP-2-overexpressing cells, a G(1) arrest was observed in association with an increase of p16 expression and reduction of retinoblastoma phosphorylation. The results suggest that TBP-2 plays a crucial role in the growth regulation of T cells and that the loss of TBP-2 expression in HTLV-I-infected T cells is one of the key events involved in the multistep progression of ATL leukemogenesis.
