Using the conditionally immortalized human cell line tsFHI, we have investigated the role of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs) in intestinal epithelial cell differentiation. Expression of cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk), and CKIs was examined under conditions promoting growth, growth arrest, or expression of differentiated traits. Formation of complexes among cell cycle regulatory proteins and their kinase activities were also investigated. The tsFHI cells express three CKIs: p16, p21, and p27. With differentiation, p21 and p27 were strongly induced, but with different kinetics: the p21 increase was rapid but transient and the p27 increase was delayed but sustained. Our results suggest that the function of p16 is primarily to inhibit cyclin D-associated kinases, making tsFHI cells dependent on cyclin E-Cdk2 for pRb phosphorylation and G1/S progression. Furthermore, they indicate that p21 is the main CKI involved in irreversible growth arrest during the early stages of cell differentiation in association with D-type cyclins, cyclin E, and Cdk2, whereas p27 may induce or stabilize expression of differentiated traits acting independently of cyclin-Cdk function.
