Celecoxib derivatives induce apoptosis via the disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential and activation of caspase 9

Celecoxib is a potent nonsteroid antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) that has shown great promise in cancer chemoprevention and treatment. The tumor suppression activity of celecoxib and other NSAIDs have been related to the induction of apoptosis in many cancer cell lines and animal models. While celecoxib is a specific inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, recent data indicate that its apoptotic properties may also be mediated through COX-independent pathways. In our study, we evaluated second generation celecoxib derivatives, lacking COX-2 inhibitory activity, in a premalignant and malignant human oral cell culture model to determine their potential anticancer effect and mechanisms responsible for the COX-independent apoptotic activity. Celecoxib and its derivatives delayed the progression of cells through the G(2)/M phase and induced apoptosis. The derivatives with apolar substituents at the terminal phenyl moiety of celecoxib greatly enhanced apoptosis and cell cycle delay. Apoptosis and cell cycle arrest appeared to be independent of derivative induced inhibition of PDK1 and phosphorylation of Akt and Erk1/2. Derivatives induced apoptosis was mediated by the cleavage and activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3, but not caspase 8, implicating the mitochondrial pathway for apoptosis induction. Inhibitors of caspase-3 and caspase-9 and cyclosporin A, a mitochondrial membrane potential stabilizer, attenuated derivative induced apoptosis. Inhibition of caspase-3 prevented the activation of caspase 8, while the inhibition of caspase-9 inhibitor blocked activation of both caspase 3 and 8 by the derivatives. Apoptosis was independent of Bcl-2. These results indicate that the second generation celecoxib derivatives induce apoptosis in human oral cancer lines by the disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential activating caspase 9 and downstream caspase 3 and 8. This suggests that the modification of the celecoxib structure can lead to highly effective COX-independent growth inhibitory and apoptotic agents in chemoprevention and therapy.     

Chemotherapy triggers apoptosis in a caspase-8-dependent and mitochondria-controlled manner in the non-small cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H460

Chemotherapy-induced apoptosis is generally thought to be dependent on a pathway headed by caspase-9. This model is primarily based on studies performed in leukemia cells; however, little is known about caspase cascades in relatively resistant solid tumor cells, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Using the NSCLC cell line NCI-H460 (H460), here, we studied the effect of stable expression of various caspase inhibitors on apoptosis induced by the anticancer drugs cisplatin, topotecan, and gemcitabine. Interestingly, overexpression of caspase-9S and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP), both able to inhibit caspase-9 activity, failed to block apoptosis. In contrast, stable expression of caspase-8 inhibitors, such as cytokine response modifier A (CrmA) and dominant-negative caspase-8, almost completely abrogated apoptosis and also enhanced clonogenic survival. Caspase-8 activation in H460 cells was not mediated by death receptors, inasmuch as overexpression of dominant-negative Fas-associated death domain (FADD-DN) did not prevent procaspase-8 cleavage and subsequent apoptosis. However, stable expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL did suppress these apoptotic events, including the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, which was observed in drug-treated H460 cells. In the NSCLC cell line H460, we, thus, provide evidence for the existence of a novel drug-inducible apoptotic pathway in which activation of caspase-8, and not of caspase-9, forms the apical and mitochondria-dependent step that subsequently activates the downstream caspases.     

Indomethacin-induced activation of the death receptor-mediated apoptosis pathway circumvents acquired doxorubicin resistance in SCLC cells

Small-cell lung cancers (SCLCs) initially respond to chemotherapy but are often resistant at recurrence. A potentially new method to overcome resistance is to combine classical chemotherapeutic drugs with apoptosis induction via tumour necrosis factor (TNF) death receptor family members such as Fas. The doxorubicin-resistant human SCLC cell line GLC4-Adr and its parental doxorubicin-sensitive line GLC4 were used to analyse the potential of the Fas-mediated apoptotic pathway and the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway to modulate doxorubicin resistance in SCLC. Western blotting showed that all proteins necessary for death-inducing signalling complex formation and several inhibitors of apoptosis were expressed in both lines. The proapototic proteins Bid and caspase-8, however, were higher expressed in GLC4-Adr. In addition, GLC4-Adr expressed more Fas (3.1x) at the cell membrane. Both lines were resistant to anti-Fas antibody, but plus the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide anti-Fas antibody induced 40% apoptosis in GLC4-Adr. Indomethacin, which targets the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, induced apoptosis in GLC4-Adr but not in GLC4 cells. Surprisingly, in GLC4-Adr indomethacin induced caspase-8 and caspase-9 activation as well as Bid cleavage, while both caspase-8 and caspase-9 specific inhibitors blocked indomethacin-induced apoptosis. In GLC4-Adr, doxorubicin plus indomethacin resulted in elevated caspase activity and a 2.7-fold enhanced sensitivity to doxorubicin. In contrast, no effect of indomethacin on doxorubicin sensitivity was observed in GLC4. Our findings show that indomethacin increases the cytotoxic activity of doxorubicin in a doxorubicin-resistant SCLC cell line partly via the death receptor apoptosis pathway, independent of Fas.

Cisplatin-induced apoptosis proceeds by caspase-3-dependent and -independent pathways in cisplatin-resistant and -sensitive human ovarian cancer cell lines.

We have assessed in detail the effect of cisplatin-activated programmed cell death in the cisplatin-sensitive human ovarian cancer cell line A2780 and two drug-resistant subclones, CP70 and C30. To determine whether the differential extent of apoptosis observed between the sensitive and resistant ovarian cancer cell lines was the result of dissimilar upstream signaling events, we assessed the execution of apoptotic events that precede target protein proteolysis and subsequent chromosomal DNA degradation. Proteolytic degradation of procaspase-3 was observed in both the CP70 and C30 cells following IC50 cisplatin treatment, whereas no proteolyzed caspase-3 subunits were detected in the A2780 cells. However, using a direct enzymatic assay measuring cleavage of the synthetic peptide substrate (N-acetyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-p-nitroanilide), activity was detected in extracts prepared from A2780 cells treated at the IC90 level of cisplatin and was 2-3-fold less than that of extracts prepared from CP70 and C30 cells. Because the activation of procaspase-3 by caspase-9 requires the release of cytochrome c into the cytoplasm, we determined the level of cytoplasmic cytochrome c in each cell line in response to cisplatin treatment. Consistent with the caspase-3 activation data, a very small increase in cytoplasmic cytochrome c was observed in A2780 cells following cisplatin treatment, whereas dramatic increases were evident in both the CP70 and C30 cell lines. The expression of the mitochondrial factors Bcl-2, Bcl-x, and Bax was determined because each has been implicated in the regulation or release of cytochrome c at the level of the mitochondria. Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL proteins remained relatively unchanged in expression for over 48 h after exposure to cisplatin in the A2780 cell lines. However, within the same time period, expression of Bcl-2 decreased in the CP70- and C30-resistant cell lines, whereas an increase in Bcl-xL expression was observed. Expression of the proapoptotic Bcl-xS protein was observed in only the resistant CP70 and C30 cell lines independent of cisplatin treatment. A change in the expression of Mr 24,000 Bax to a Mr 21,000 isoform was evidenced in the A2780 cells within 48 h of cisplatin treatment and, to a greater extent, in the CP70 and C30 cells, which also expressed a Mr 16,000 Bax variant. Evidence for an alternative apoptotic pathway in A2780 cells was obtained by demonstrating increased FADD expression in response to cisplatin treatment. These results support a model in which cisplatin-induced programmed cell death in the cisplatin-sensitive A2780 and -resistant CP70 and C30 cells proceeds via caspase-3-independent and -dependent pathways, respectively.     

Death receptor 5-mediated TNFR family signaling pathways modulate γ-humulene-induced apoptosis in human colorectal cancer HT29 cells

A component from Emilia sonchifolia (L.) DC, γ-humulene, was investigated. Significantly decreased cell viability of human colorectal cancer HT29 cells in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 53.67±2.99 μM for 24-h treatment was found. γ-Humulene induced apoptotic cell death and apoptosis was confirmed by morphological assessment. The staining with propidium iodide (PI) and flow cytometric analysis also showed that γ-humulene significantly promoted the sub-G1 phase (an apoptotic population) in HT29 cells. Colorimetric assays indicated that pretreatment with a specific inhibitor of caspase-8 (Z-IETD-FMK) significantly reduced activities of caspase-8 and caspase-3 in examined HT29 cells. γ-Humulene stimulated the death receptor 5 (DR5), DR4, Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD), the cleavage of caspase-8 and cleavage caspase-3, but reduced the protein levels of cellular Fas-associated death-domain-like IL-1?-converting enzyme inhibitory protein (c-FLIP) by Western blot analysis. Consequently, γ-humulene-triggered cell death was significantly attenuated by DR5 siRNA and the caspase-8 inhibitor. Based on our results, we suggest that γ-humulene induced apoptotic cell death in HT29 cells through a DR5-mediated caspase-8 and -3-dependent signaling pathway. Therefore, this agent might be useful for developing new therapeutic regimens for treatment of colorectal cancer in the future.
