Abstract:
:Activation of MAP kinases is involved in various cellular processes, including immunoregulation, inflammation, cell growth, cell differentiation, and cell death. To investigate the role of p38 MAP kinase activation in the signaling pathway of TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, we compared TRAIL-mediated MAP kinase activation in TRAIL-susceptible human colon cancer cell line DLD1 and TRAIL-resistant DLD1/TRAIL-R cells. TRAIL-mediated activation of ERK occurred in both cell lines. In contrast, both DLD1 and DLD1/TRAIL-R cells showed no obvious JNK activation after treatment with TRAIL. Interestingly, TRAIL-mediated activation of p38 MAP kinases was observed in DLD1 cells but not in DLD1/TRAIL-R cells. However, activation of p38 MAP kinases was observed in both DLD1 and DLD1/TRAIL-R cells after treatment with anisomycin. Furthermore, inhibiting activated p38 MAP kinases with known inhibitors or with an adenovector expressing dominant negative p38alpha did not block TRAIL-mediated cell death in DLD1 cells. Moreover, activation of p38 MAP kinases by adenovectors expressing constitutive MKK3 or MKK6 (Ad/MKK3bE or Ad/MKK6bE) did not induce cell death in either DLD1 or DLD1/TRAIL-R cell lines. Our results suggest that activation of p38 MAP kinases does not play a major role in TRAIL-mediated apoptosis in DLD1 cells and that lack of TRAIL-mediated p38 MAP kinase activation may not be the mechanism of TRAIL-resistance in DLD1/TRAIL-R cells.
