Doxorubicin (Dox, Adriamicin), a potent broad spectrum anthracycline anticancer drug, selectively inhibits muscle specific gene expression in cardiac cells in vivo and prevents terminal differentiation of skeletal muscle cells in vitro. By inducing the expression of the helix-loop-helix (HLH) transc

Abstract
Chinese hamster ovary cells have been engineered to inducibly over‐express the p21^CIP1^ cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor, to achieve cell cycle arrest and increase cell productivity. In p21^CIP1^‐arrested cells production of antibody from a stably integrated lgG4 gene, was enhanced approximately fourfold. The underlying physiological basis for enhanced productivity was investigated by measuring a range of cellular and metabolic parameters. Interestingly, the average cell volume of arrested cells was approximately fourfold greater than that of proliferating cells. This was accompanied by significant increases in mitochondrial mass, mitochondrial activity, and ribosomal protein S6 levels. Our results suggest that p21^CIP1^‐induced cell cycle arrest uncouples cell growth from cell‐cycle progression, and provides new insight into how improved productivity can be achieved in a cell line commonly used for large‐scale production of pharmaceutical proteins. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

p21 WAF1/CIP1 is a downstream mediator of p53 and mediates growth arrest by inhibiting the action of G 1 cyclin-dependent kinases. Since cellular differentiation is frequently characterized by G 1 arrest, we examined whether p21 WAF1/CIP1 overexpression would induce growth suppression and differenti
