Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Fatty acid synthase (FAS) regulates the production of fatty acids and plays a role in regulating apoptosis. Hoechst 33342-induced apoptosis in BC3H-1 myocytes was used as a model to explore intracellular changes in FAS protein (Western blot) and FAS mRNA (RT-PCR). Total lipid and individual phospholipid synthesis was inhibited by a lethal dose of Hoechst 33342 (20 microg/ml) while total lipid and phospholipid degradation ([1-14C]-acetate pulse chase method) were not. Hoechst 33342 at 20 microg/ml reduced the concentration of FAS protein, which was followed more than 6 hr later by a reduction in FAS mRNA. In conclusion, the inhibition of fatty acid synthesis induced by 20 microg/ml of Hoechst 33342 is attributed to the degradation of FAS protein by activated caspases rather than by inhibition of FAS enzyme activity or FAS mRNA synthesis.
