악성 뇌종양세포에서 paxilline에 의한 TRAIL 매개 apoptosis의 감작

Alternative Title: Paxilline sensitizes malignant glioma cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis via DR5 up-regulation and down-regulation of c-FLIP and survivin

Alternative Abstract: Although tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-induced ligand (TRAIL) induces apoptosis selectively in cancer cells while sparing normal cells, many cancer cells are resistant to TRAIL-induced cell death. We show here that paxilline, an indole alkaloid from Penicillium paxilli, can sensitize various glioma cells to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis. Paxilline treatment markedly up-regulated DR5, a receptor of TRAIL, through a CHOP/GADD153-mediated process. In addition, paxilline treatment markedly down-regulated the protein levels of the short form of the cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein (c-FLIPS) and the caspase inhibitor, survivin, through proteasome-mediated degradation. While treatment with TRAIL alone caused partial processing of caspase-3 to its p20 intermediate in TRAIL-resistant glioma cell lines, co-treatment with TRAIL and subtoxic doses of paxilline caused complete processing of caspase-3 into its active subunits. Taken together, these results show that paxilline effectively sensitizes glioma cells to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis by modulating multiple components of the death receptor-mediated apoptotic pathway. Interestingly, paxilline/TRAIL co-treatment did not induce apoptosis in normal astrocytes, nor did it affect the protein levels of CHOP, DR5, or survivin in these cells. Thus, combined treatment regimens involving paxilline and TRAIL may offer an attractive strategy for safely treating resistant gliomas.
