Abstract:
:To date, two major apoptotic pathways, the death receptor and the mitochondrial pathway, have been well documented in mammalian cells. However, the involvement of these two apoptotic pathways, particularly the death receptor pathway, in transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1)-induced apoptosis is not well understood. Herein, we report that apoptosis of human gastric SNU-620 carcinoma cells induced by TGF-beta 1 is caused by the Fas death pathway in a Fas ligand-independent manner, and that the Fas death pathway activated by TGF-beta 1 is linked to the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway via Bid mediation. We showed that TGF-beta 1 induced the expression and activation of Fas and the subsequent caspase-8-mediated Bid cleavage. Interestingly, expression of dominant negative FADD and treatment with caspase-8 inhibitor efficiently prevented TGF-beta 1-induced apoptosis, whereas the treatment with an activating CH11 or a neutralizing ZB4 anti-Fas antibody, recombinant Fas ligand, or Fas-Fc chimera did not affect activation of Fas and the subsequent induction of apoptosis by TGF-beta 1. We further demonstrated that TGF-beta 1 also activates the mitochondrial pathway showing Bid-mediated loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and subsequent cytochrome c release associated with the activations of caspase-9 and the effector caspases. Moreover, all these apoptotic events induced by TGF-beta 1 were found to be effectively inhibited by Smad3 knockdown and also completely abrogated by Smad7 expression, suggesting the involvement of the Smad3 pathway upstream of the Fas death pathway by TGF-beta 1.
