Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Hydrophobic bile acids such as deoxycholate are known tumor promoters in the gastrointestinal tract. We have previously shown that deoxycholate induces apoptosis in colon epithelial cells and that these cells can be made resistant to deoxycholate-induced apoptosis. We now show that the nitric oxide synthase/nitric oxide/guanylate cyclase/cyclic guanosine monophosphate/cGMP-activated protein kinase (NOS/NO/GC/cGMP/PKG) signaling module contributes, in part, to the observed resistance of the cultured DOC-resistant colon epithelial cells (HCT-116R) using pharmacological inhibitors/antagonists (NS2028, Rp-8pCPT-cGMP, KT5823) of members of this signaling module. A novel finding from this study is the caspase-6 mediated cleavage of guanylate cyclase alpha 1 during deoxycholate-induced apoptosis of deoxycholate-sensitive HCT-116SA cells and the absence of guanylate cyclase alpha 1 cleavage in deoxycholate-treated HCT-116R resistant cells using Western blot analyses. This cleavage was specific to caspases as lysosomal, proteasomal, serine protease, cathepsin and calpain inhibitors failed to prevent the cleavage, whereas a general caspase inhibitor and a specific caspase-6 inhibitor did prevent guanylate cyclase alpha 1 cleavage.
