Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Aims: The study evaluated the role of increased intracellular nitric oxide (NO) concentration using NO donors or stably nitric oxide synthase-3 (NOS-3) overexpression during CD95-dependent cell death in hepatoma cells. The expression of cell death receptors and caspase activation, RhoA kinase activity, NOS-3 expression/activity, oxidative/nitrosative stress and p53 expression were analyzed. The antitumoral activity of NO was also evaluated in the subcutaneous implantation of NOS-3-overexpressing hepatoma cells, as well NO donor injection into wild type hepatoma-derived tumors implanted in xenograft mouse models. Results: NO donor increased CD95 expression, caspase-8 and -3 activation in HepG2, Huh7 and Hep3B cells. NOS-3 overexpression increased oxidative/nitrosative stress, p53 and CD95 expression, cellular Fas-associated death domain (FADD)-like IL-1beta converting enzyme (FLICE) inhibitory protein long (cFLIPL) and its short isoform (cFLIPS) shift, and cell death in HepG2 (4TO-NOS) cells. The inhibition of RhoA kinase and p53 knock-down using RNA interference reduced cell death in 4TO-NOS cells. The supplementation with H2O2 increased NOS-3 activity and cell death in 4TO-NOS cells. NOS-3 overexpression or NO donor injection into hepatoma-derived tumors reduced the size, increased p53 and cell death receptor expression in nude mice. Innovation and Conclusions: The increase of intracellular NO concentration promoted oxidative and nitrosative stress, Rho kinase activity, p53 and CD95 expression, and cell death in cultured hepatoma cells. NOS-3 overexpressed HepG2 cells or intratumoral NO donor administration reduced tumor cell growth and increased the expression of p53 and cell death receptors in tumors developed in xenograft mouse model.
