heal.abstract | Patients with malignant gliomas have a poor prognosis and new treatment paradigms are needed against this disease. TRAIL/Apo2L selectively induces apoptosis in malignant cells sparing normal cells and is hence of interest as a potential therapeutic agent against gliomas. To determine the factors that modulate sensitivity to TRAIL, we examined the differences in TRAIL-activated signaling pathways in glioma cells with variable sensitivities to the agent. Apoptosis in response to TRAIL was unrelated to DR5 expression or endogenous p53 status in a panel of 8 glioma cell lines. TRAIL activated the extrinsic (cleavage of caspase-8, caspase-3 and PARP) and mitochondrial apoptotic pathways and reduced FLIP levels. It also induced caspase-dependent JNK activation, which did not influence TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Because the pro-survival PI3K/Akt pathway is highly relevant to gliomas, we assessed whether Akt could protect against TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Pretreatment with SH-6, a novel Akt inhibitor, enhanced TRAIL-induced apoptosis, suggesting a protective role for Akt. Conversely, TRAIL induced caspase-dependent cleavage of Akt neutralizing its anti-apoptotic effects. These results demonstrate that TRAIL-induced apoptosis in gliomas involves both activation of death pathways and downregulation of survival pathways. Additional studies are warranted to determine the therapeutic potential of TRAIL against gliomas. | en |
