Cytosolic Cytochrome C Can Survive and Maintain Clonogenicity Given

Reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential ( m) and
release of cytochrome c from mitochondria appear to be key events
during apoptosis. Apoptosis was induced in IC.DP premast cells by the withdrawal of interleukin-3 (IL-3). m decreased by 12 hours and cytochrome c was detected in the cytosol at 18 hours. Despite these changes in the mitochondria after 18 hours of IL-3 deprivation, clonogenicity was unaffected when IL-3 was replenished at 18 hours. Activation of v-Abl tyrosine kinase (v-Abl TK) in IC.DP cells before
IL-3 depletion led to increased levels of Bcl-XL, prevented reduction of m and the release of mitochondrial
cytochrome c, and suppressed apoptosis. Activation of v-Abl TK 18 hours
after withdrawal of IL-3 when 10% of the cells had died restored
m in the remaining cells. More than 40% of cells thus
rescued by v-Abl TK between 18 and 42 hours could subsequently form
colonies in the presence of IL-3. These data suggest that reduction in m precedes loss of mitochondrial cytochrome c in IC.DP
cells; that v-Abl TK activation, probably via upregulation of
Bcl-XL, prevents loss of m and blocks the
release of cytochrome c from mitochondria; and that neither of these
mitochondrial events is sufficient for commitment to apoptosis.
