N-benzyladriamycin-14-valerate (AD198) induces apoptosis through protein kinase C-delta-induced phosphorylation of phospholipid scramblase 3.

چکیده
Phospholipid scramblase 3 (PLS3) is an enzyme that plays a critical role in mitochondrial morphology, functions, and apoptotic response. During apoptosis, activated protein kinase C-delta (PKC-delta) translocates to mitochondria and phosphorylates PLS3. Here, we utilize an extranuclear-targeted anthracycline N-benzyladriamycin-14-valerate (AD198), a PKC-delta activator, to investigate the mechanism of PLS3 phosphorylation by PKC-delta. Overexpression of PLS3 enhanced, whereas down-regulation of PLS3 by small interfering RNA decreased, the sensitivity of AD198-induced apoptosis. Overexpression of PKC-delta, but not the kinase-defective PKC-delta, and AD198 treatment enhanced threonine phosphorylation of PLS3. The phosphorylated threonine was mapped to Thr21 of PLS3. Mutation of Thr21 to alanine did not affect mitochondrial localization of PLS3 but abolished threonine phosphorylation by PKC-delta in vitro and AD198-induced PLS3 phosphorylation in vivo. Expression of PLS3(T21A) in cells could not enhance AD198-induced apoptosis compared with expression of the wild-type PLS3. Using benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp-(OMe) fluoromethyl ketone and cyclosporine A, we also showed that AD198-induced PLS3 phosphorylation occurs upstream of caspase activation and independent of mitochondrial permeability transition. These studies establish that AD198-activated PKC-delta induces phosphorylation of mitochondrial PLS3 at Thr21 and that PLS3 is a critical downstream effector of PKC-delta in AD198-induced apoptosis.

Phosphorylation of mitochondrial phospholipid scramblase 3 by protein kinase C-delta induces its activation and facilitates mitochondrial targeting of tBid.
Phospholipid scramblase 3 (PLS3) is a member of the phospholipid scramblase family present in mitochondria. PLS3 plays an important role in regulation of mitochondrial morphology, respiratory function, and apoptotic responses. PLS3 is phosphorylated by PKC-delta at Thr21 and is the mitochondrial target of PKC-delta-induced apoptosis. Cells with overexpression of PLS3, but not the phosphoinhibit...
متن کاملA novel derivative of doxorubicin, AD198, inhibits canine transitional cell carcinoma and osteosarcoma cells in vitro
Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most commonly used chemotherapeutic treatments for a wide range of cancers. N-benzyladriamycin-14-valerate (AD198) is a lipophilic anthracycline that has been shown to target conventional and novel isoforms of protein kinase C (PKC) in cytoplasm of cells. Because of the adverse effects of DOX, including hair loss, nausea, vomiting, liver dysfunction, and cardioto...
متن کاملNovel extranuclear-targeted anthracyclines override the antiapoptotic functions of Bcl-2 and target protein kinase C pathways to induce apoptosis.
Bcl-2 inhibits apoptosis induced by numerous antitumor drugs, including doxorubicin and daunorubicin and is, thus, a major impediment to successful cancer chemotherapy. Here, we report the ability of a novel family of nonnuclear targeted anthracyclines to induce rapid apoptosis in cells despite Bcl-2 or Bcl-X(L) expression. Typified by N-benzyladriamycin-14-valerate (AD 198) and N-benzyladriamy...
متن کاملRegulation of phospholipid scramblase activity during apoptosis and cell activation by protein kinase Cdelta.
Phospholipid scramblase induces nonspecific bidirectional movement of phospholipids across the membrane during cell activation and has been proposed to mediate the appearance of phosphatidylserine (PS) in the plasma membrane outer leaflet during apoptosis, a cell surface change that is critical for apoptotic cell removal. We report here that protein kinase C (PKC) delta plays an important role ...

Unlike nuclear-targeted anthracyclines, the extranucleartargeted doxorubicin congener, N-benzyladriamycin-14valerate (AD 198), does not interfere with normal topoisomerase II activity, but binds to the C1b regulatory domain of conventional and novel isoforms of protein kinase C (PKC). The resulting interaction leads to enzyme activation and rapid apoptosis in a variety of mammalian cell lines t...
