Tumor cells are eradicated by several systems, including Fas
ligand-Fas and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR). In the previous study, we purified an
apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) to homogeneity from a medium
conditioned by PDBu-treated HL-60 cells. N-terminal sequence analysis
showed that AIF is identical to endothelial interleukin-8 (IL-8). A
novel apoptosis system, in which endothelial cells participate via
endothelial IL-8 release, is identified here. Human umbilical vein
cells (VE cells) produce and secrete IL-8 by stimulation of IL-1 and
TNF- . Endothelial IL-8, which is secreted from VE cells by
stimulation of IL-1 and TNF- , induces apoptosis in myelogenous
leukemia cell line K562 cells. Monocyte-derived IL-8 could not induce
apoptosis in K562 cells. Moreover, interaction between VE cells and
K562 cells induces the release of endothelial IL-8 from VE cells, and
the attached K562 cells undergo apoptosis. Moreover, interactions between VE cell and other cell lines, such as HL-60, U937, Jurkat, and
Daudi, induce the secretion of endothelial IL-8 and the induction of
apoptosis in cell lines. Endothelial IL-8 significantly inhibits tumor
growth of intraperitoneal and subcutaneous tumor mass of K562 cells and
induces apoptosis in their cells in vivo. Endothelial IL-8 plays an
important role in apoptosis involving endothelial cells, which may
provide us with a new therapy for hematological malignancies.
