• Background: Ki-67 antigen is expressed in proliferating cells but not in quiescent cells. Expression of this antigen occurs preferentially during late G1, S, G2, and M phases of the cell cycle, while in cells in G0 phase the antigen cannot be detected. Consequently, Ki-67 antigen expression is used in tumor pathology to detect proliferating cells in neoplastic diseases. In cultured cells, Ki-67 is expressed in the nucleolus of interphase cells. The Ki-67 gene contains 15 exons. The Ki-67 repeat region, within which there is a 22-amino acid Ki-67 motif, is encoded by exon 13. The shorter isoform lacks exon 7. Northern blot analysis re-vealed multiple transcripts ranging from approximately 8.9 to 12.5 kb in proliferating but not quies-cent cells. Immunoblot analysis showed expression of 320- and 359-kD proteins. Sequence analy-sis predicted that the short-lived 2,896- and 3,256-amino acid protein isoforms contain potential nuclear targeting signals, over 200 potential phosphorylation sites, 19 N-myristoylation sites, 3 amidation sites, and numerous PEST sites. Antisense oligonucleotides inhibited cellular prolifera-tion in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that Ki-67 protein expression may be an absolute requirement for cell proliferation.
