چکیده

AF1q is an oncogenic factor involved in leukemia development, thyroid tumorigenesis, and breast cancer metastasis. In the present study, AF1q was found to be down-regulated in a doxorubicin-resistant subline of human squamous carcinoma A431 cells. Knockdown of AF1q decreased the apoptosis induced by doxorubicin, Taxol, gamma-radiation, IFN-alpha, and IFN-gamma in A431 cells. On the other hand, overexpression of AF1q increased the doxorubicin-induced apoptosis in A431 cells as well as in HepG2 and HL60 cells. Both exogenous and ectopic expression of AF1q in A431 cells increased the mRNA and protein levels of BAD, a proapoptotic BCL-2 family protein. Gene silencing of BAD by small interfering RNA suppressed the AF1q enhancement of apoptosis, suggesting that BAD is downstream of AF1q in regulation of apoptosis. Furthermore, AF1q enhanced the mitochondrial membrane depolarization, mitochondrial cytochrome c release, and activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 on doxorubicin treatment. Collectively, AF1q increases doxorubicin-induced apoptosis in cells through activation of BAD-mediated apoptotic pathway. The study provides the first evidence that AF1q plays a critical role in the regulation of apoptosis and drug resistance.

Elevation of cAMP Levels Inhibits Doxorubicin-Induced Apoptosis in Pre- B ALL NALM- 6 Cells Through Induction of BAD Phosphorylation and Inhibition of P53 Accumulation

Recognition of the molecular mechanisms of cAMP action against DNA damage-induced apoptosis can be useful to improve the efficacy of DNA damaging therapeutic agents. Considering the critical role of bcl-2-associated death promoter (BAD) and p53 proteins in DNA damage -induced apoptosis, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of cAMP-elevating agents on these proteins in doxorubicin-trea...
