We investigated the p53 signaling pathway induced by hypergravity in the human glioblastoma cell line A 172. Hypergravity (20×g) induced the accumulation of p53 and the phosphorylation of p53 at Ser-15. The phosphorylation of p53 with hypergravity was not inhibited by wortmannin, the PI3-kinase inhibitor. This indicated that the p53 signal pathway induced by hypergravity is different from other p53 signal pathways, such as that of the DNA damage signal. Hypergravity did not induce an expression of the genes Waf-1 or Bax, located downstream from p53. We also examined the expression of genes with hypergravity by using a DNA microarray containing oligo DNA from 30,000 human genes. Hypergravity (20×g, 6h) did induce the expression of some genes concerned with the cell signaling pathway and cytoskeleton of the cell, but not any of the p53-downstream genes. DNA microarray revealed the induction of many genes to enable the cells to adapt to the hypergravity environment.
