Up-regulation of ICH-1L protein by thromboxane A2 antagonists enhances cisplatin-induced apoptosis in non-small-cell lung-cancer cell lines.

We evaluated the effect of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) blockade on cisplatin-induced apoptosis in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines. Cisplatin induced apoptosis in PC/9 and PC-9/ CDDP in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment with specific TXA2 antagonist, calcium 5(Z)-1R,2S,3S,4S-7-[3-phenylsulfonylaminobicyclo[2,2,1]hept-2-yl]- 5-heptonoate hydrate (S-1452) and 5(Z-6-[(1R,2R,3R,4S)-3-(N-4-bromobenzenesulfonyl aminomethyl) bicyclo[2,2,1]heptane-2-yl]-hex-5-enoic acid (ONO-NT-126), enhanced the cisplatin-induced apoptosis in each cell line. Acetyl-L-aspartyl-glutamyl-valyl-aspart-1-aldehyde (Ac-DEVD-CHO) inhibited cisplatin-induced apoptosis and enhancement of the apoptosis by TXA2 blockade, but acetyl-L-tyrosyl-valyl-alanyl-aspart-1-aldehyde (Ac-YVAD-CHO) had no effect on the apoptosis. There was no difference in the interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme (ICE) protease protein expression in either cell line. Cysteine protease p32(CPP32) protein expression was lower in PC-9/ CDDP but was not changed by S-1452, cisplatin, or cotreatment with cisplatin and S-1452. Ice and Ced-3 homolog (ICH-1L) expression was significantly lower in PC-9/ CDDP and was up-regulated by S-1452 or ONO-NT-126. These data suggest that ICH-1L might play a critical role in cisplatin-induced apoptosis and that TXA2 blockade up-regulates ICH-1L protein expression. Overexpression of ICH-1L and treatment with cisplatin might result in an increase in apoptosis in NSCLC cell lines.[1]
