AbstractArsenic trioxide (As 2O 3) can induce clinical remission in patients suffering from acute promyelocytic leukemia, through induction of apoptosis and activation of caspases. We investigated the potential use of As 2O 3 in human gastric cancer and its possible mechanisms. Human gastric cancer cell lines AGS and MKN-28 were treated with various concentrations (0.1 to 100 μM of As 2O 3 for 24 to 72 hr. Apoptosis was determined by acridine orange staining, flow cytometry and DNA fragmentation. Protein levels of p53, p21 wafl/cipl, c-myc, bcl-2 and bax were detected by Western blotting. Effects of As 2O 3 on caspase-3 protease activity, its protein concentration and cleavage of poly(ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP) were also studied. As 2O 3 inhibited cell growth and induced apoptosis in both cell lines, though AGS cells were more sensitive. As 2O 3 induced apoptosis in AGS cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Treatment resulted in a marked increase in p53 protein levels as early as 4 hr. Co-incubation with p53 anti-sense oligo-nucleotide suppressed As 2O 3-induced intracellular p53 over-expression and apoptosis. As 2O 3 increased the activity of caspase-3, with appearance of its 17 kDa peptide fragment, and cleavage of PARP, with appearance of the 85 kDa cleavage product, both in parallel with the induction of apoptosis. Both the tripeptide caspase inhibitor zYAD-fmk and the specific caspase-3 inhibitor DEVD-fmk partially suppressed As 2O 3-induced caspase-3 activation and apoptosis. As 2O 3 inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in gastric cancer cells, involving p53 over-expression and activation of caspase-3. The potential use of this compound in the treatment of gastric cancer is worth further investigation. © 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
