Treatment of different human leukemia cell variants with the
anthracycline adriamycin was associated with a rapid activation of the
proteasome. Thus, proliferating U937, TUR, and retrodifferentiated U937
cells exhibited a 4.3-fold, 5.8-fold, and 4.3-fold proteasome activation within 15 minutes after adriamycin treatment, respectively. In contrast, little if any proteasome activation was detectable in a
growth-arrested differentiated U937 population following adriamycin
treatment. Further analysis of this mechanism revealed a significant
reduction of adriamycin-induced proteasome activity after inhibition of
poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) by 3-aminobenzamide (3-ABA) in the
proliferating leukemic cell types. These findings suggested that PARP
is involved in the regulation of drug-induced proteasome activation.
Indeed, anti-PARP immunoprecipitation experiments of adriamycin-treated
cells revealed increasing levels of coprecipitated, enzymatically
active proteasome particularly in the proliferating cell variants in
contrast to the differentiated U937 cells, with a maximum after 15 minutes, and sensitivity to PARP inhibition by 3-ABA. The
specific role of the PARP was investigated in U937 and TUR cell clones
stably transfected with a constitutively active antisense PARP (asPARP)
vector. Thus, asPARP-TUR cells developed a 25-fold increased
sensitivity to adriamycin treatment. Furthermore, we investigated
leukemic blasts isolated from acute myelogenous leukemia patients
and obtained a similarly enhanced proteasome activity after adriamycin
treatment, which was dependent on the PARP and thus could be
coprecipitated with anti-PARP antibodies. Transient transfection of
leukemic blasts with the asPARP vector significantly reduced the
adriamycin-induced proteasome activation. These data suggest that the
PARP-associated nuclear proteasome activation represents a potential
target within chemotherapeutic defense mechanisms developed by leukemia cells.
