Induction of apoptosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells and its prevention by phorbol ester.

Abstract:

:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia lymphocytes were used to study mechanisms involved in apoptosis (programmed cell death). Apoptosis, which was determined by morphological changes including cell death and by internucleosomal DNA fragmentation, occurred during culture for 1 to 2 days in a portion of the cells from three of the four patients tested. Most of the cells underwent apoptosis and DNA fragmentation was greatly enhanced when cells were cultured in the presence of the microtubule inhibitor colchicine, the topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide, or the glucocorticoid methylprednisolone. Tumor-promoting phorbol esters inhibited spontaneous DNA fragmentation and cell death including that induced by colchicine, etoposide, and methylprednisolone, indicating that they act on an event common to apoptosis caused by diverse stimuli. Phorbol esters probably act through protein phosphorylation, since they were effective at concentrations which modulated protein kinase C (PKC) and their action was prevented by H-7, which binds to and inactivates the catalytic site of PKC. In the absence of phorbol ester, H-7 itself induced some apoptosis. These findings implicate PKC in the suppression of apoptosis, but its precise role requires systematic investigation.
