Apoptosis is mediated by members of the caspase family of proteases which can be activated by release of mitochondrial cytochromec.Additional members of the caspase family are activated at the cell surface in response to direct stimulus from the external environment such as by activation of the Fas receptor. It has been suggested that these upstream caspases directly activate the downstream caspases which would obviate a role for cytochromecin apoptosis induced by the Fas receptor. We demonstrate that cytochromecis released from mitochondria of Jurkat cells in response to both staurosporine and an agonistic anti-Fas antibody and that only the latter is inhibited by the caspase inhibitor z-VAD-FMK. This suggests that an upstream caspase such as caspase-8 is required for the Fas-mediated release of mitochondrial cytochromec.The protein phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A prevented cytochromecrelease and apoptosis induced by both agents, suggesting that release of cytochromecis required in both models. Zinc, once thought of as an endonuclease inhibitor, has previously been shown to prevent the activation of caspase-3. We show that zinc prevents the activation of downstream caspases and apoptosis induced by both insults, yet does not prevent release of mitochondrial cytochromec.The ability of calyculin A and zinc to prevent DNA digestion implies that the mitochondrial pathway is important for induction of apoptosis by both agents. These results do not support an alternative pathway in which caspase-8 directly activates caspase-3. These results also demonstrate that a critical protein phosphatase regulates the release of cytochromecand apoptosis induced by both insults.
