AbstractApoptosis is an active process critical for the homeostasis of organisms. Enzymes of the caspase family are responsible for executing this process. We have previously shown that peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a biological product generated from the interaction of nitric oxide and superoxide, induces apoptosis of HL-60 cells. The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the execution process of peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis. Proteolytic cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, an indication of caspase-3 family protease activation and an early biochemical event accompanying apoptosis, was observed in a time-dependent manner during peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis of HL-60 cells. Activation of caspase-3 during peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis was substantiated by monitoring proteolysis of the caspase-3 proenzyme and by measuring caspase-3 activity with a flurogenic substrate. Furthermore, pretreatment of HL-60 cells with N- acetyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-aldehyde, a specific inhibitor of caspase-3, but not N-acetyl-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-aldehyde, a specific inhibitor of caspase-1, decreased peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis. These results suggest that the activation of a caspase-3 family protease is essential for initiating the execution process of peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis of HL-60 cells.
