Abstract The Fas-Fas ligand system is one of the factors involved in cell death signaling. Aberrations in the signaling pathways leading to Fas-mediated apoptosis in tumor cells have been reported in a variety of human malignant tumors. However, the Fas-mediated apoptotic pathway has not been sufficiently elucidated in human gastric carcinomas. We examined the apoptotic pathway induced by anti-Fas antibody using seven human gastric carcinoma cell lines. Apoptosis was induced in a delayed fashion and the apoptotic indices (AI) after 48 h were approximately 30-40% in MKN-45 and KATO-III cells, which both showed cleavage of the Bid protein and release of Cytochrome c from the mitochondria. Our data also demonstrated no significant relationship between the expressions of various apoptosis-related proteins and the sensitivity or resistance to anti-Fas antibody-induced apoptosis, as far as we examined. Furthermore, the apoptosis signal was inhibited by treatment with Caspase-9 and -3 inhibitors in MKN-45 and KATO-III. These findings suggest that anti-Fas antibody induced apoptosis through the type II signaling pathway in the human gastric carcinoma cell lines, MKN-45 and KATO-III.
