Abstract

Tissue transglutaminase (TG2) is a multifunctional member of the transglutaminase (TGase) family (E.C.2.3.2.13), which catalyzes in a calcium-dependent reaction the formation of covalent bonds between the gamma-carboxamide groups of peptide-bound glutamine residues and various primary amines. Here, we investigated the role of TG2 in a response of the neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells to topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide, known to trigger DNA-damage cell response. We found an early and transient (approximately 2 h) increase of the TG2 protein in SH-SY5Y cells treated with etoposide, along with the increase of phosphorylated and total levels of the p53 protein. Next, we showed that SH-SY5Y cells, which overexpress wild-type TG2 were significantly protected against etoposide-induced cell death. The TG2 protective effect was associated only with the transamidation active form of TG2, because overexpression the wild-type TG2, but not its transamidation inactive C277S form, resulted in a pronounced suppression of caspase-3 activity as well as p53 phosphorylation during the etoposide-induced stress. In addition, exacerbation of cell death with a significant increase in caspase-3 and p53 activation was observed in SH/anti-TG2 cells, in wh...Continue Reading
