Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Arachidonic acid (AA) generated by cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) has been suggested to function as a second messenger in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced death signaling. Here, we show that cathepsin B-like proteases are required for the TNF-induced AA release in transformed cells. Pharmaceutical inhibitors of cathepsin B blocked TNF-induced AA release in human breast (MCF-7S1) and cervix (ME-180as) carcinoma as well as murine fibrosarcoma (WEHI-S) cells. Furthermore, TNF-induced AA release was significantly reduced in cathepsin B-deficient immortalized murine embryonic fibroblasts. Employing cPLA2-deficient MCF-7S1 cells expressing ectopic cPLA2 or cPLA2-deficient immortalized murine embryonic fibroblasts, we showed that cPLA2 is dispensable for TNF-induced AA release and death in these cells. Furthermore, TNF-induced cathepsin B-dependent AA release could be dissociated from the cathepsin B-independent cell death in MCF-7S1 cells, whereas both events required cathepsin B activity in other cell lines tested. These data suggest that cathepsin B inhibitors may prove useful not only in the direct control of cell death but also in limiting the damage-associated inflammation.
