N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) retinamide (4-HPR), as a synthetic retinoid, has been shown to inhibit carcinogenesis in a variety of cancers. Extensive studies have indicated that ROS are involved in 4-HPR-mediated apoptosis. Herein, we provide further evidence that the Akt signaling pathway is involved in 4-HPR-mediated apoptosis. Of note is the fact that the expression of PI3K (p110) does not change obviously, and neither LY294002 nor insulin could influence the apoptosis induced by 4-HPR. These observations implicate the direct interaction between Akt and ROS. Our data also reveal that 4-HPR-mediated ROS evoke Akt conformational change by forming an intramolecular disulfide bond: N-acetylcysteine and glutathione, as thiol antioxidants, significantly abate the ROS generation in 4-HPR-exposed cells. Further experiments indicate that the conformational change in Akt not only disrupts Akt-Hsp90 binding, but also enhances Akt-PP2A interaction. All these results collectively suggest that 4-HPR-induced apoptosis is associated with a ROS-mediated conformational change in Akt, and this change, as a consequence, mediates dephosphorylation of Akt via regulating Akt-Hsp90 or Akt-PP2A complex formation.
