タイトル Apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide under serum deprivation and its inhibition by antisense c-jun in F-MEL cells.
ジャーナル Biochem Biophys Res Commun
Abstract Under serum deprivation F-MEL cells die by apoptosis. We previously showed that apoptosis induced by serum deprivation was suppressed by inhibition of c-jun expression using antisense c-jun transfected cell line, c-junAS. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms we examined the species which is responsible for apoptosis under serum deprivation. When catalase and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) were included in the medium, cell death under serum deprivation was effectively suppressed in F-MEL cells. Intracellular generation of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) was also detected under serum deprivation in parental F-MEL cells, but it was suppressed in c-junAS (+) cells, in which antisense c-jun was expressed and c-Jun protein expression was inhibited as shown by Western blot. When H(2)O(2) was directly applied to F-MEL cells at 3 mM, apoptotic cell death was induced, whereas it was suppressed in c-junAS (+) cells. Induction of apoptosis by H(2)O(2) and its inhibition by antisense c-jun was confirmed by detection of internucleosomal fragmentation of DNA, TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive cells and morphological alteration of nuclei. These results indicate that apoptosis induced by serum deprivation in F-MEL cells is mediated by H(2)O(2) and c-jun expression is essential to apoptosis induced by H(2)O(2) in F-MEL cells.
