    Abstract:
    The role of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) family members in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced apoptosis of human gastric cancer MKN28 cells was explored. TNF-α induced up-regulation of cIAP2, whereas cycloheximide (CHX) induced down-regulation of XIAP and survivin. Degradation of cIAP1 and XIAP, but not survivin, was accelerated by co-treatment of cells with TNF-α and CHX, and TNF-α-induced up-regulation of cIAP2 was inhibited by BMS-345541 (NF-κB inhibitor). Treatment of MKN28 cells with TNF-α plus CHX induced degradation of survivin and activation of caspase-8 and -3, followed by degradation of cIAP1 and XIAP and apoptosis. Proteasome inhibitors (MG132 and epoxomicin) suppressed TNF-α plus CHX-induced degradation of survivin, cIAP1, and XIAP as well as apoptosis. A caspase inhibitor (z-VAD-fmk) suppressed TNF-α plus CHX-induced apoptosis, but allowed degradation of survivin, cIAP1 and XIAP. TNF-α receptor 1 and 2 were expressed on MKN28 cells. The magnitude of apoptosis induced by TNF-α plus BMS-345541 was much less than that induced by TNF-α plus CHX. These findings suggest that TNF-α plus CHX-induced apoptosis of gastric cancer MKN28 cells may be caused by accelerated degradation of the IAP family members (survivin, cIAP1, and XIAP), in addition to inhibition of NF-κB-dependent synthesis of anti-apoptotic molecules.
