摘要
This study investigates the role of caspase-8 and DN-FADD, an inhibitor of CD95-dependent caspase-8 activation, in gemcitabine-induced apoptosis of Colo357 pancreatic cancer cells. Gemcitabine-mediated apoptosis was monitored by the kinetics of caspase-8 activation and cytochrome c release. Gemcitabine treatment of Colo357 cells increased CD95 surface expression, raising the possibility of the involvement of CD95 in gemcitabine-mediated caspase-8 activation. However, ectopic expression of DN-FADD and treatment of cells with the antagonistic anti-CD95 antibody Z134 both failed to suppress gemcitabine-induced apoptosis but substantially inhibited CD95-mediated apoptosis. DN-FADD, which surprisingly accumulated in nuclei of Colo357 cells, was unable to block caspase-8 activation mediated by either gemcitabine or CD95. These observations argue against a role of CD95 in gemcitabine-induced caspase-8 activation and reveal that the anti-apoptotic function of DN-FADD differs from caspase-8 inhibition in Colo357 cells.
