Regulation of Akt by EGF-R inhibitors, a possible mechanism of EGF-R inhibitor-enhanced TRAIL-induced apoptosis.

Abstract:

:Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a type II transmembrane cytokine and a potent inducer of apoptosis. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) signaling is well known to involve in tumor survival and overexpression of EGF receptor (EGF-R) attributes to decreased responsiveness to many available therapies in cancer treatment. We investigated whether EGF-R inhibitors enhance TRAIL-induced apoptosis. We exposed A549 cells to Genistein, PD153035, and PD158780 for 12h and then treated with recombinant TRAIL protein. TRAIL alone induced 25% cell death after a 3-h treatment, but in cells pretreated with EGF-R inhibitors, TRAIL induced cell death to more than 70% after 3h treatment. Genistein enhanced TRAIL-induced apoptosis in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Western blot analyses showed that pretreatment with Genistein down-regulated the protein levels of total Akt and phosphorylated active Akt. Genistein also decreased the protein level of Bcl-XL that is regulated by Akt. These molecules are well characterized to act against induction of apoptotic cell death. Therefore, our data suggest that EGF-R inhibitor may sensitize A549 cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis by regulating expression of these proteins. EGF-R inhibitors may play an important role in the anti-cancer activity of TRAIL protein, especially in TRAIL-resistant tumors that arise by expressing constitutively active Akt.
