  • Abstract:Aurora A kinase has drawn considerable attention as a therapeutic target for cancer therapy. However, the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms of the anticancer effects of Aurora A kinase inhibition are still not fully understood. Herein, we show that depletion of Aurora A kinase by RNA interference (RNAi) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells upregulated FoxO1 in a p53-dependent manner, which induces cell cycle arrest. Introduction of an RNAi-resistant Aurora A kinase into Aurora A-knockdown cells resulted in downregulation of FoxO1 expression and rescued proliferation. In addition, silencing of FoxO1 in Aurora A-knockdown cells allowed the cells to exit cytostatic arrest, which, in turn, led to massive cell death. Our results suggest that FoxO1 is responsible for growth arrest at the G2/M phase that is induced by Aurora A kinase inhibition.
