- Abstract
- The effect of the depletion or oxidation of cellular GSH on cytotoxicity of MG132 was assessed. Viability loss and decrease in GSH contents in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells treated with MG132 was attenuated by caspase inhibitors (z-IETD.fmk, z-LEHD.fmk and z-DQMD.fmk). Thiol compounds (N-acetylcysteine and N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)glycine) and free radical scavengers reduced MG132-induced cell death. Antioxidants, including N-acetylcysteine, inhibited the MG132-induced nuclear damage, loss in mitochondrial transmembrane potential, cytosolic accumulation of cytochrome c and caspase-3 activation. Depletion of GSH due to buthionine sulfoxime did not affect the cell viability loss, ROS formation and GSH depletion due to MG132 in SCLC cells. A thiol oxidant monochloramine, p-chloromercuribenzoate and N-ethylmaleiamide also did not affect cytotoxicity of MG132. The results suggest that the toxicity of MG132 on SCLC cells is mediated by activation of caspase-8,-9 and -3. Removal of free radicals and recovery of GSH contents may attenuate MG132-induced apoptotic cell death. Nevertheless, depletion or oxidation of cellular GSH may not affect toxicity of MG132.
