Cytoprotective effect of 2-carbomethoxy-2,3-epoxy-3-prenyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (CMEP-NQ) is mediated by the inhibition of BAK-dependent mitochondrial apoptosis pathway

The inhibitory mechanism of 2-carbomethoxy-2,3-epoxy-3-prenyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (CMEP-NQ) against apoptosis induced by the microtubule-damaging agents (MDAs), nocodazole (NOC) and 2-methoxyestradiol (2-MeO-E(2)), or a DNA-damaging agent (DDA), camptothecin (CPT) were investigated in human Jurkat T...

description The inhibitory mechanism of 2-carbomethoxy-2,3-epoxy-3-prenyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (CMEP-NQ) against apoptosis induced by the microtubule-damaging agents (MDAs), nocodazole (NOC) and 2-methoxyestradiol (2-MeO-E(2)), or a DNA-damaging agent (DDA), camptothecin (CPT) were investigated in human Jurkat T cell clones (J/Neo and J/BCL-XL cells). Treatment of J/Neo cells with NOC, 2-MeO-E(2), or CPT caused cytotoxicity and apoptotic DNA fragmentation but these events were significantly attenuated in the presence of CMEP-NQ. Although not only MDA (NOC or 2-MeO-E(2))-induced mitotic arrest, CDK1 activation, and BCL-2, BCL-XL and BIM phosphorylation, but also DDA (CPT)-induced S-phase arrest and ATM-CHK1/CHK2-p53 pathway activation were not or were barely affected in the presence of CMEP-NQ, the levels of anti-apoptotic BAG3 and MCL-1, which were markedly downregulated after MDA- or DDA-treatment, were rather elevated by CMEP-NQ. Under the same conditions, MDA- or DDA-induced mitochondrial apoptotic events including BAK activation, mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) loss, caspase-9 activation, and PARP cleavage were significantly inhibited by CMEP-NQ. While MDA- or DDA-induced sub-G(1) peak and Δψm loss were abrogated in J/BCL-XL cells, MDA-induced mitotic arrest and DDA-induced S-arrest were more apparent in J/BCL-XL cells than in J/Neo cells. Simultaneously, the induced cell cycle arrest in J/BCL-XL cells was not significantly disturbed by CMEP-NQ. MDA- or DDA-treatment caused intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production; however, MDA- or DDA-induced ROS production was almost completely abrogated in J/BCL-XL cells. MDA- or DDA-induced ROS production in J/Neo cells was significantly suppressed by CMEP-NQ, but the suppressive effect was hardly observed in J/BCL-XL cells. Together, these results show that CMEP-NQ efficiently protects Jurkat T cells from apoptotic cell death via the elevation of BAG3 and MCL-1 levels, which results in the inhibition of intrinsic BAK-dependent mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, as does the overexpression of BCL-XL.
