The presence of two families of seven distinct mammalian
cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor genes is thought to mediate the
complexity of connecting a variety of cellular processes to the cell
cycle control pathway. The distinct pattern of tissue expression of CDK
inhibitor genes suggests that they may function as tumor suppressors
with different tissue specificities. To test this hypothesis, we have
characterized two strains of double mutant mice lacking either
p18INK4c and p27KIP1 or p18INK4c
and p21CIP1/WAF1. Loss of both p18 and p27 function
resulted in the spontaneous development by 3 months of age of at least
eight different types of hyperplastic tissues and/or tumors in the
pituitary, adrenals, thyroid, parathyroid, testes, pancreas, duodenum,
and stomach. Six of these hyperplastic tissues and tumors were in
endocrine organs, and several types of tumors routinely developed
within the same animal, a phenotype reminiscent of that seen in
combined human multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes. The p18-p21
double null mice, on the other hand, developed pituitary adenomas,
multifocal gastric neuroendocrine hyperplasia, and lung
bronchioalveolar tumors later in life. G1 CDK2 and CDK4
kinase activities were increased in both normal and neoplastic tissues
derived from mice lacking individual CDK inhibitors and were
synergistically stimulated by the simultaneous loss of two CDK
inhibitors. This indicates that an increase in G1 CDK
kinase activity is a critical step during but is not sufficient for
tumor growth. Our results suggest that functional collaborations
between distinct CDK inhibitor genes are tissue specific and confer yet
another level of regulation in cell growth control and tumor suppression.
