Abstract

Treatment with doxorubicin (DOX) induced apoptosis with an increase of ceramide content in drug-sensitive HL-60 cells, but not in drug-resistant HL-60/ADR cells. In HL-60/ADR cells (but not in HL-60 cells), the levels of mRNA, protein, and activity in glucosylceramide synthase (GCS), which converts ceramide to glucosylceramide, were up-regulated in response to DOX. Thus, abrogation of apoptosis in HL-60/ADR cells might be involved in ceramide reduction through DOX-induced up-regulation of GCS function. Because we reported that a GC-rich/Sp1 promoter binding region was of importance in the regulation of GCS expression, the role of Sp1 in DOX-induced up-regulation of GCS and apoptosis was investigated. DOX induced Sp1 activation in HL-60/ADR cells, as assessed by Sp1 gel shift and promoter-luciferase reporter assays, whereas transfection of double-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing a GC-rich/Sp1 region (Sp1 decoy ODNs) inhibited DOX-induced Sp1 activation. In addition, DOX-increased mRNA and enzyme activity in GCS were inhibited by Sp1 decoy, in conjunction with corresponding elevations of ceramide content. Moreover, DOX-induced apoptotic cell death was significantly increased in Sp1 decoy ODN-transfected HL-60/ADR ...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
