title: Control of ceramide-induced apoptosis by IGF-1: involvement of PI-3 kinase, caspase-3 and catalase.
abstract: Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) inhibited N-acetylsphingosine (C2-ceramide)-induced HL-60 cell apoptosis via relieving oxidative damage. This inhibitory action of IGF-1 was blocked by a phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI-3) kinase inhibitor wortmannin and enhanced by overexpression of the p110 catalytic subunit of PI-3 kinase. Either IGF-1 pretreatment or PI-3 kinase overexpression restored ceramide-depleted catalase function, and this restoration was inhibited by wortmannin. A catalase inhibitor 3-amino-1h-1, 2, 4-triazole (ATZ) blocked the inhibitory action of IGF-1 on ceramide-induced apoptosis, whereas exogenous purified catalase enhanced it. Ceramide-activated caspase-3 was inhibited by IGF-1/PI-3 kinase and enhanced by wortmannin, while the addition of a specific caspase-3 inhibitor DMQD-CHO significantly enhanced the restoration by IGF-1 of ceramide-depleted catalase function. Moreover, IGF-1 inhibited C2-ceramide-induced decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential, and increase of cytochrome c release, caspase-3 cleavage and caspase-3 activity as judged by PhiPhiLux cleaving method. In summary, these results suggest that IGF-1/PI-3 kinase inhibited C2-ceramide-induced apoptosis due to relieving oxidative damage, which resulted from the inhibition of catalase by activated caspase-3.
