Romidepsin (FK228) is a potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, which has a potent anticancer activity, but its molecular mechanism is unknown. We investigated the mechanism of FK228-induced apoptosis in the human leukemia cell line HL-60 and its hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-resistant sub-clone, HP100, and the human colon cancer cell line Caco-2. Cytotoxicity and DNA ladder formation induced by FK228 could be detected in HL-60 cells after a 24-h incubation, whereas they could not be detected in HP100 cells. Trichostatin A (TSA), an HDAC inhibitor, induced DNA ladder formation in both HL-60 and HP100 cells. In contrast, FK228 inhibited HDAC activity in both HL-60 and HP100 cells to a similar extent. These findings suggest that FK228-induced apoptosis involves H(2)O(2)-mediated pathways and that TSA-induced apoptosis does not. Flow cytometry revealed H(2)O(2) formation and a change in mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta epsilon m) in FK228-treated cells. FK228 also induced apoptosis in Caco-2 cells, which was prevented by N-acetyl-cysteine, suggesting that reactive oxygen species participate in apoptosis in various types of tumor cells. Interestingly, in a cell-free system, FK228 generated superoxide (O(2)-) in the presence of glutathione, suggesting that H(2)O(2) is derived from dismutation of O(2)- produced through redox-cycle of FK228. Therefore, in addition to HDAC inhibition, H(2)O(2) generated from FK228 may participate in its apoptotic effect. (Cancer Sci 2010;).
