The molecular mechanisms by which multiple myeloma (MM) cells evade
glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis have not been delineated. Using a
human IgA MM cell line (ARP-1), we found that dexamethasone (Dex)-induced apoptosis is associated with decreased NF- B DNA binding and B-dependent transcription. Both nuclear p50:p50 and p50:p65 NF- B complexes are detected in ARP-1 cells by supershift electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Dex-mediated inhibition of
NF- B DNA binding precedes a notable increase in annexin
V binding, thereby indicating that diminished NF- B activity is an
early event in Dex-induced apoptosis. Overexpression of bcl-2 in ARP-1
cells prevents Dex-mediated repression of NF- B activity and
apoptosis. Sustained NF- B DNA binding is also observed in two
previously characterized Dex-resistant MM cell lines (RPMI8226 and
ARH-77) that express moderate levels of endogenous bcl-2 and I B
proteins. In addition, enforced bcl-2 expression in ARP-1 cells did not
prevent the augmentation of I B protein by Dex. We also noted a
possible association between Dex-mediated downregulation of NF- B in
freshly obtained primary myeloma cells and the patients' responsiveness to glucocorticoid-based chemotherapy. Collectively, our
data suggest that the protective effects of bcl-2 in MM cells act
upstream in the NF- B activation-signaling pathway and the potential
use of NF- B as a biomarker in progressive MM.
