Apoptosis of mink lung epithelial cells by co-treatment of low-dose staurosporine and transforming growth factor-beta1 depends on the enhanced TGF-beta signaling and requires the decreased phosphorylation of PKB/Akt.

Abstract:

:We demonstrate how co-treatment of low-dose staurosporine (STS) and TGF-beta1, which alone have little effect on cell death, markedly induces apoptosis in Mv1Lu mink lung epithelial cells, but not in its clonal variant R1B cells lacking functional TGF-beta signaling. This process was associated with mitochondria-dependent apoptosis and the enhanced TGF-beta/Smad signaling in Mv1Lu cells. When R1B cells were infected with adenovirus carrying wild-type ALK5, a functional TGF-beta type I receptor gene, the apoptotic cell death was significantly restored in these cells following co-treatment of low-dose STS and TGF-beta1. Treatment of Mv1Lu cells with both low-dose STS and TGF-beta1 decreased the activity of phospho-Akt, which is involved in cell survival signal. In addition, pre-treatments of PI3 kinase inhibitors, LY294002 and wortmannin, further increased the apoptosis of MvlLu cells induced by co-treatment of low-dose STS and TGF-beta1. And overexpression of constitutively active Akt (myr-Akt) using adenoviral expression system inhibited the apoptotic cell death of Mv1Lu cells by about 50% upon co-treatment of low-dose STS and TGF-beta1. These results suggest that co-treatment of low-dose STS and TGF-beta1 induces apoptosis of mink lung epithelial cells by enhancing TGF-beta signaling and in part suppressing cytoprotective signaling.
