摘要:

Hsp27 inhibits mitochondrial injury and apoptosis in both normal and cancer cells by an unknown mechanism. To test the hypothesis that Hsp27 decreases apoptosis by inhibiting Bax, Hsp27 expression was manipulated in renal epithelial cells before transient metabolic stress, an insult that activates Bax, induces mitochondrial injury, and causes apoptosis. Compared with control, enhanced Hsp27 expression inhibited conformational Bax activation, oligomerization, and translocation to mitochondria, reduced the leakage of both cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor, and significantly improved cell survival by >50% after stress. In contrast, Hsp27 down-regulation using RNA-mediated interference promoted Bax activation, increased Bax translocation, and reduced cell survival after stress. Immunoprecipitation did not detect Hsp27-Bax interaction before, during, or after stress, suggesting that Hsp27 indirectly inhibits Bax. During stress, Hsp27 expression prevented the inactivation of Akt, a pro-survival kinase, and increased the interaction between Akt and Bax, an Akt substrate. In contrast, Hsp27 RNA-mediated interference promoted Akt inactivation during stress. Hsp27 up- or down-regulation markedly altered the activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), a major regulator of Akt. Furthermore, distinct PI3-kinase inhibitors completely abrogated the protective effect of Hsp27 expression on Akt activation, Bax inactivation, and cell survival. These data show that Hsp27 antagonizes Bax-mediated mitochondrial injury and apoptosis by promoting Akt activation via a PI3-kinase-dependent mechanism.
