Mcl-1 is a member of the Bcl-2 protein family, which has
been shown to delay apoptosis in transfection and/or overexpression experiments. As yet no gene knockout mice have been engineered, and so
there is little evidence to show that loss of Mcl-1 expression is
sufficient to trigger apoptosis. U937 cells constitutively express the
antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2; but during differentiation, in response to
the phorbol ester PMA (phorbol 12 -myristate 13 -acetate), Mcl-1
is transiently induced. The purpose of this investigation was to
determine the functional role played by Mcl-1 in this differentiation
program. Mcl-1 expression was specifically disrupted by chimeric
methylphosphonate/phosphodiester antisense oligodeoxynucleotides to
just 5% of control levels. The depletion of Mcl-1 messenger RNA (mRNA)
and protein was both rapid and specific, as indicated by the use of
control oligodeoxynucleotides and analysis of the expression of other
BCL2 family members and PMA-induced tumor necrosis
factor- (TNF- ). Specific depletion of Mcl-1 mRNA and protein, in
the absence of changes in cellular levels of Bcl-2, results in a rapid
entry into apoptosis. Levels of the proapoptotic protein Bax remained
unchanged during differentiation, while Bak expression doubled within
24 hours. Apoptosis was detected within 4 hours of Mcl-1 antisense
treatment by a variety of parameters including a novel live cell
imaging technique allowing correlation of antisense treatment and
apoptosis in individual cells. The induction of Mcl-1 is required to
prevent apoptosis during differentiation of U937 cells, and the
constitutive expression of Bcl-2 is unable to compensate for the loss
of Mcl-1.
