RESUMO
The mitochondrial release of cytochrome c and Smac/DIABLO has been implicated in the activation of apoptosis in response to cell stress. Smac promotes cytochrome c-induced activation of caspases by sequestering the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family of potent caspase suppressors. Differential release from mitochondria of cytochrome c and Smac can occur, but the underlying mechanism and physiological significance of this are unclear. Here we show that the mechanism by which fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) protects small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells from etoposide-induced cell death involves inhibition of Smac release but not of cytochrome c release. This process is MEK dependent and correlates with an increased expression of XIAP and cellular IAP-1, mediated principally through translational regulation. Exogenous expression of XIAP is sufficient to inhibit caspase 9 activation, Smac release, and cell death induced by etoposide. Prevention of the FGF-2-promoted increase in levels of functional IAPs by RNA interference or the cell-permeant Smac amino-terminal peptide blocked FGF-2-induced protection. FGF-2 can thus protect SCLC cells from chemotherapeutic drugs by modulating IAP levels via posttranscriptional regulation, providing a mechanism for postmitochondrial survival signaling by the MEK/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway.
