CUG triplet repeat-binding protein 2 (CUGBP2) is a RNA-binding protein that
regulates mRNA translation and modulates apoptosis. Here, we report the
identification of two splice variants (termed variants 2 and 3) in cultured human
intestinal epithelial cells and in mouse gastrointestinal tract. The variants are
generated from alternative upstream promoters resulting in the inclusion of
additional NH(2)-terminal residues. Although variant 2 is the predominant isoform
in normal intestine, its expression is reduced, whereas variant 1 is
overexpressed following gamma-irradiation. All three variants bind
cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) mRNA. However, only variant 1 inhibits the translation
of the endogenous COX-2 mRNA and a chimeric luciferase mRNA containing the COX-2
3'untranslated region. Furthermore, whereas variant 1 is predominantly nuclear,
variants 2 and 3 are predominantly cytoplasmic. These data imply that the
additional amino acids affect CUGBP2 function. Previous studies have demonstrated
that variant 1 induces intestinal epithelial cells to undergo apoptosis. However,
in contrast to variant 1, the two novel variants do not affect proliferation or
apoptosis of HCT116 cells. In addition, only variant 1 induced G(2)/M cell cycle
arrest, which was overcome by prostaglandin E(2). Moreover, variant 1 increased
cellular levels of phosphorylated p53 and Bax and decreased Bcl2. Caspase-3 and
-9 were also activated, suggesting the initiation of the intrinsic apoptotic
pathway. Furthermore, increased phosphorylation of checkpoint kinase (Chk)1 and
Chk2 kinases and increased nuclear localization of Cdc2 and cyclin B1 suggested
that cells were in mitotic transition. Taken together, these data demonstrate
that cells expressing CUGBP2 variant 1 undergo apoptosis during mitosis,
suggesting mitotic catastrophe.
