RB94, which lacks the NH2-terminal 112 amino acid residues of the full-length RB (RB110) is a more potent inhibitor of cancer cell growth than RB 110, being cytotoxic to all cancer cell lines studied, independent of their genetic abnormalities. Although we initially thought RB94 induced cell death was caspase dependent, such caspase activation now appears to be a late event. Cells that remained attached 48 hr after transduction with Ad-RB94 showed, among other changes, nuclear enlargement, peripheral nuclear chromatin condensation, and often micronucleation. In addition, the cells were TUNEL positive but showed no cleavage of caspase 3 or 9. Only after the cells detached was cleavage of both caspase 3 and 9 observed. These TUNEL positive cells showed neither cytochrome C mitochondrial translocation usually found in typical apoptotic cells nor DNA laddering indicative of oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation. In addition, although 50 kb DNA fragmentation was produced in these TUNEL positive cells, which was dependent on apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), inhibiting this fragmentation by siAIF did not inhibit TUNEL formation or cytotoxicity. Since RB94 will soon be used for gene therapy further understanding the molecular basis of these early changes in killing cancer cells is one of our particularly important present goals.
