Abstractbcl-2 has been shown to enhance cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis. The present study investigates the potential role of bcl-2 on apoptosis in HL-60 cells induced by different agents. HL-60/bcl-2 and control HL-60/neo cells were obtained by transfection of bcl-2 cDNA or the neomycin-resistant gene, respectively. Staurosporine (STS) promoted DNA fragmentation dose-dependently in the 6 h exposure assay while C2-ceramide was relatively slow in the induction of apoptosis (~ 40% after 24 h) and required higher concentrations (> 20 μM). Caspases inhibitors, Ac-YVAD-cmk (100 μM) and zVAD-fmk (20 μM) had no effect on DNA fragmentation themselves. However, they blocked C2-ceramide-induced caspase-3 cleavage and apoptosis, but not the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria. In addition, we found that both Ac-YVAD-cmk and zVAD-fmk failed to protect STS-induced apoptosis in HL-60 cells. Overexpression of bcl-2 inhibited STS and C2-ceramide induced cytochrome c redistribution, caspase-3 activation and apoptosis. These results suggest a protective role of bcl-2 in the regulation of apoptosis and cytochrome c release is unlikely to be involved in the final common pathway in apoptosis.
