Proline oxidase activates both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways for apoptosis: the role of ROS/superoxides, NFAT and MEK/ERK signaling

Abstract

Proline oxidase (POX), often considered a 'housekeeping enzyme' might play an important role in apoptosis. We have shown that POX generated proline-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS), specifically superoxide radicals, and induced apoptosis through the mitochondrial (intrinsic) pathway. In our current report, we used DLD-1 colorectal cancer cells stably transfected with the POX gene under the control of a tetracycline-inducible promoter and found POX-stimulated expression of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL), DR5 and cleavage of caspase-8. Importantly, apoptosis measured by flow cytometry was partially inhibited by Z-IETD-FMK, a specific inhibitor of caspase-8. These findings suggest that the extrinsic (death receptor) pathway also is activated by POX. Furthermore, the mechanism of this effect on the extrinsic pathway, specifically, the induction of TRAIL by POX, may be mediated by NFAT transcription factors. Additionally, POX expression also dramatically decreased phosphorylation of MEK and ERK, and the decrease was partially reversed by expression of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Overexpression of constitutively active form of MEK, acMEK, partially blocked POX-induced apoptosis. The...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
