We have previously shown that nitric oxide (NO) stimulates apoptosis
in different human neoplastic lymphoid cell lines through activation of
caspases not only via CD95/CD95L interaction, but also independently of
such death receptors. Here we investigated mitochondria-dependent
mechanisms of NO-induced apoptosis in Jurkat leukemic cells. NO donor
glycerol trinitrate (at the concentration, which induces apoptotic cell
death) caused (1) a significant decrease in the concentration of
cardiolipin, a major mitochondrial lipid; (2) a downregulation in
respiratory chain complex activities; (3) a release of the
mitochondrial protein cytochrome c into the cytosol; and (4) an
activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3. These changes were accompanied
by an increase in the number of cells with low mitochondrial
transmembrane potential and with a high level of reactive oxygen
species production. Higher resistance of the CD95-resistant Jurkat
subclone (APO-R) cells to NO-mediated apoptosis correlated with the
absence of cytochrome c release and with less alterations in
other mitochondrial parameters. An inhibitor of lipid peroxidation,
trolox, significantly suppressed NO-mediated apoptosis in APO-S Jurkat
cells, whereas bongkrekic acid (BA), which blocks mitochondrial
permeability transition, provided only a moderate antiapoptotic effect.
Transfection of Jurkat cells with bcl-2 led to a complete block of
apoptosis due to the prevention of changes in mitochondrial functions.
We suggest that the mitochondrial damage (in particular, cardiolipin
degradation and cytochrome c release) induced by NO in human
leukemia cells plays a crucial role in the subsequent activation of
caspase and apoptosis.
