Abstract
Death receptor 5 (DR5/TRAIL-R2) is an apoptosis-inducing membrane receptor for tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand
(TRAIL). In this study, we show that rosiglitazone sensitizes human renal cancer cells to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, but not normal human
mesangial cells. Furthermore, because rosiglitazone-enhanced TRAIL-mediated apoptosis is induced in various types of cancer cells but is not
interrupted by Bcl-2 overexpression, this combinatory treatment may provide an attractive strategy for cancer treatment. We found that treatment
with rosiglitazone significantly induces DR5 expression at both its mRNA and its protein levels, accompanying the generation of reactive oxygen
species (ROS). Both treatment with DR5/Fc chimeric protein and silencing of DR5 expression using small interfering RNAs attenuated
rosiglitazone plus TRAIL-induced apoptosis, showing the critical role of DR5 in this cell death. Pretreatment with GSH significantly inhibited
rosiglitazone-induced DR5 up-regulation and the cell death induced by the combined treatment with rosiglitazone and TRAIL, suggesting that
ROS mediate rosiglitazone-induced DR5 up-regulation, contributing to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis. However, both DR5 up-regulation and
sensitization of TRAIL-mediated apoptosis induced by rosiglitazone are likely PPARγ-independent, because a dominant-negative mutant of
PPARγ and a potent PPARγ inhibitor, GW9662, failed to block DR5 induction and apoptosis. Interestingly, we also found that rosiglitazone
treatment induced down-regulation of cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein (c-FLIPs), and ectopic expression of c-FLIPs attenuated rosiglitazone plus
TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, demonstrating the involvement of c-FLIPs in this apoptosis. Taken together, the results of this study demonstrate that
rosiglitazone enhances TRAIL-induced apoptosis in various cancer cells by ROS-mediated DR5 up-regulation and down-regulation of c-FLIPs.
