TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: a-Fetoprotein positively regulates cytochrome c-mediated caspase activation and apoptosome complex formation

Previous results have shown that theoncoembryonicmarker a-fetoprotein (AFP) is able to induce apoptosis in tumor cells through activation of caspase 3, bypassing Fas-dependent and tumor necrosis factor receptor-dependent signaling. In this study we further investigate the molecular interactions involvedin the AFP-mediatedsignaling of apoptosis. We show that AFP treatment of tumor cells is accompaniedby cytosolic translocation of mitochondrial cytochromec. In a cell-free system, AFP mediates process-ing andactivation of caspases 3 and9 by synergistic enhancement of the low-dose cytochromec-mediated sig-nals | Eur. J.

We show that AFP treatment of tumor cells is accompaniedby cytosolic translocation of mitochondrial cytochrome c. In a cell-free system AFP mediates processing and activation of C í sf í í e33 add b by synergistic enhancement of the low-dose cytochrome c-mediated signals. AFP was unable to regulate activity of caspase 3 in cell extracts depleted of cytochrome c or caspase d. Using high-resolution chromatography we show that AFP positively regulates cytochrome c dATP-mediated apoptosome complex formation enhances recruitment of caspases and Apaf-1 into the complex and I dease of the active caspases 3 and 9 from the apopiotome. By Liting a dí reel protein-protein interaction assay we show that pure human AFP almost completely disrupts the association between processed caspaees 3 11119 a and tire u-tiluOs inhibitor of apoptosis protein cIAP-2 demonstrating its release from the complex. Our data suggest that AFP may regulate cell death by displacing cIAP-2 from the apoptosome resulting tn .
