Apoptosis induced by DNA damage and other stresses can proceed via expression of Pas ligand (Fast) and ligation of its receptor, Pas (CD95). We report that activation of the two transcription factors NF-kappa B and AP-1 is crucially involved in Fast expression induced by etoposide, teniposide, and UV irradiation. A nondegradable mutant of I kappa B blocked both Fast expression and apoptosis induced by DNA damage but not Fas ligation. These stimuli also induced the stress-activated kinase pathway (SAPK/JNK), which was required for the maximal induction of apoptosis. A 1.2 kb Fast promoter responded to DNA damage, as well as coexpression with p65 Rel or Fos/Jun. Mutations in the relevant NF-kappa B and AP-1 binding sites eliminated these responses. Thus, activation of NF-kappa B and AP-1 contributes to stress-induced apoptosis via the expression of Fast.
