Abstract: | Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) can induce caspase-dependent (apoptotic) and caspase-independent pathways to programmed cell death (PCD). Here, we demonstrate that stable transfection of a cDNA encompassing the C-terminal apoptosis inhibitory domain (AID) of FE65-like protein 1 into mouse L929 fibrosarcoma cells protects from caspase-independent as well as from apoptotic PCD induced by TNF. We show that the AID does not protect from caspase-independent PCD elicited by 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine, suggesting that the AID might prevent cell death by affecting assembly of the death inducing signaling complex of the 55 kDa TNF receptor or clustering of the receptor itself. Interference with caspase-independent PCD mediated by the sphingolipid ceramide further increases protection conferred by the AID, as does the antioxidant butylated hydroxyanisole, implicating ceramide and reactive oxygen species as potential factors interacting with caspase-independent PCD regulated by the AID. |
