In this study, it was found that hydroquinone induces cell cycle arrest in TK6 cells and activates the Nrf2 signaling pathway. Further investigation revealed that Nrf2 regulates cell cycle progression through the p16/pRb signaling pathway and antioxidant enzyme expression.
Hydroquinone (HQ), a well-known carcinogenic agent, induces oxidative stress, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and malignant transformation. As an antioxidant actor, the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) drives adaptive cellular protection in response to oxidative stress. The human lymphoblastoid cell line (TK6 cells) is widely used as a model for leukemia researches. In the present study, we focused on exploring whether Nrf2 regulatory cell cycle in TK6 cells upon HQ treatment and the underlying mechanisms. The results showed that the cell cycle arrest in TK6 cells induced by hydroquinone was accompanied by activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway. We further clarified that Nrf2 loss accelerated cell cycle progression from G0/G1 to S and G2/M phases and promoted ROS production by downregulating the expression of SOD and GSH. Western blotting analysis indicated that Nrf2 regulated cell cycle progression via p16/pRb signaling pathways. Therefore, we conclude that Nrf2 is engaged in HQ-induced cell cycle arrest as well through p16/pRb and antioxidant enzymes.
