Abstract
The pyranocoumarin (+)-4'-O-acetyl-3 'O-angeloyl-cis-khellactone (PC) isolated from Radix Peucedani (root of Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn) showed a dose-dependent effect at 10 -30 pg/mL on causing apoptotic DNA and nuclear fragmentations in HL-60 cells. After 24 h of PC treatment there were losses of mitochondrial membrane potential and cytochrome c. PC also increased total cellular and mitochondrial Bax protein, stimulated an increase in caspase-dependent Bcl-2 cleavage but showed no effect on Bcl-Xv. These observations strongly suggest activation of the mitochondria apoptotic pathway. The pan-specific caspase inhibitor, ZVAD-fmk, abolished the PC-induced apoptosis,whereas the caspase-8 inhibitor IETD-fmk showed no effect, implying the involvement of the caspase 9 pathway. PC caused a 2 to 12 hour transient increase in phospho-ERK, and a 72 h-long activation of JNK. Pre-treatment with the MEK inhibitor PD98059, which suppresses ERK activation, paradoxically promoted PC-induced mitochondrial cytochrome c release, procaspase-3 and -8 cleavage, and enhanced apoptosis. Our results show that PC triggers mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in HL-60 cells, and the involvement of ERK and JNK signal pathways in the process.
