Abstract
Activities of nuclear type 1 protein phosphatase (PP1) were significantly elevated in human HepG2 and rat AH13 hepatoma cells compared with primary cultured hepatocytes. We examined and compared the nuclear PP1 activities during the cell cycle between synchronized HepG2 cells and HGF-stimulated hepatocytes. Nuclear PP1 activity was significantly and more elevated at the G1/S transition in hepatoma cells compared with hepatocytes, although the amounts of PP1 isoforms remained constant. On the contrary, it was found that the basal levels of nuclear PP1 activity were significantly higher in hepatoma cells and that the amounts of PP1alpha and PP1delta were dramatically increased in the nuclear fraction of hepatoma cells.
