Interferon Induces Upregulation and Activation of Caspases 1, 3, and 8 to Produce Apoptosis in Human Erythroid Progenitor Cells
Chunhua Dai and
Sanford B. Krantz

Interferon (IFN ) induces apoptosis in purified human
erythroid colony-forming cells (ECFC) and inhibits cell growth. Fas (APO-1; CD95) and Fas ligand (FasL) mediate apoptosis induced by
IFN , because Fas is significantly upregulated by IFN , whereas Fas
ligand is constitutively present in the ECFC and neutralization of FasL
greatly reduces the apoptosis. Because conversion of caspases from
their dormant proenzyme forms to active enzymes has a critical role in
transducing a cascade leading to apoptosis, we performed further
studies of the expression and activation of caspases in normal human
and IFN -treated day-6 ECFC to better understand the mechanism of
IFN action in producing this cell death. RNase protection assays
showed that the caspase-1, -2, -6, -8, and -9 mRNAs were upregulated by
IFN , whereas the caspase-5 and -7 mRNAs were not increased. Western
blots showed that FLICE/caspase-8 was upregulated and activated by 24 hours of incubation with IFN . FADD was not similarly altered by
incubation with IFN . Western blots of ICE/caspase-1, which might be
required for amplification of the initial FLICE activation signal,
showed that pro-ICE expression significantly increased after treatment
with IFN for 24 hours and cleavage of pro-ICE also increased.
CPP32/apopain/caspase-3, responsible for the proteolytic cleavage of
poly (ADP) ribose polymerase (PARP), was also studied and treatment of
ECFC with IFN resulted in an increased concentration of caspase-3 by
24 hours and a clear induction of enzyme activation by 48 hours, which
was identified by the appearance of its p17-kD peptide fragment. The
cleavage of PARP was demonstrated by an obvious increase of the 89-kD
PARP cleavage product, which was observed at almost the same time as
caspase-3 activation in the IFN -treated cells, whereas untreated
ECFC showed little change. Peptide inhibitors of the caspase proteins,
DEVD-fmk, DEVD-cho, YVAD-cho, and IETD-fmk, were incubated with the
ECFC to obtain further evidence for the involvement of caspases in
IFN -induced apoptosis. The activation of FLICE/caspase-8 and
CPP32/caspase-3 and cleavage of PARP clearly were inhibited, but the
reduction of cell growth due to apoptosis, induced by IFN , was only
partially blocked by the presence of the inhibitors. These results
indicate that IFN acts on ECFC not only to upregulate Fas, but also
to selectively upregulate caspases-1, -3, and -8, which are activated
and produce apoptosis, whereas the concentrations of FasL and FADD are
not demonstrably changed.
