Targeted disruption of Bcl-xL in mouse keratinocytes inhibits both UVB- and chemically induced skin carcinogenesis.

Abstract:

:Bcl-x(L) is one of several antiapoptotic proteins regulated by signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3). We have recently shown that Stat3 is required for chemically induced and ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced skin carcinogenesis. In this study, the functional role of Bcl-x(L) in skin carcinogenesis was investigated using skin-specific Bcl-x(L)-deficient mice. In this model, Bcl-x(L) expression is disrupted in the basal compartment of mouse epidermis using the bovine keratin 5 (K5) promoter to drive expression of Cre recombinase (K5.Cre x Bcl-x(L) (fl/fl) mice). A significant increase in apoptosis induced by either UVB irradiation or 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) treatment was observed in the epidermis of Bcl-x(L)-deficient mice. Furthermore, an increase in apoptotic cells was noted in hair follicle keratinocytes, including those located in the bulge region. Cell proliferation was not affected by Bcl-x(L) deficiency following exposure to either UVB or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Bcl-x(L)-deficient mice were more resistant than wild-type controls to skin tumor development with delayed onset and reduced number of tumors using either UVB or the DMBA/TPA two-stage regimen. Moreover, Bcl-2, Mcl-1, and survivin protein levels were increased in the epidermis of Bcl-x(L)-deficient mice in the absence of stimuli. Furthermore, levels of these antiapoptotic proteins were also high in skin tumors from Bcl-x(L)-deficient mice that developed in response to either UVB or two-stage carcinogenesis protocols. Collectively, these studies demonstrate that Bcl-x(L) plays a role early in skin carcinogenesis through its anti-apoptotic functions to enhance survival of keratinocytes, including bulge region keratinocyte stem cells, following DNA damage.
