Two ovarian cancer cell lines named NOS4 and SKOV-3 have been shown to have different sensitivities to a cytotoxic anti-Fas antibody, CH-11. Although both cell lines express Fas molecules on the cell surfaces at the same intensities, apoptosis is induced by CH-11 in NOS4 cells but not in SKOV-3 cells. In this study, the different apoptosis-sensitivities of these cells were assessed. Both cell lines express almost the same levels of FADD, RIP, c-FLIP, FAP-1, Bax, Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL. Evidence of caspase-8, caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation and of cleavage of PARP and Bid was obtained in NOS4 cells but not in SKOV-3 cells. When triggered by FasL protein, DNA fragmentation and caspase-8 activation were observed in SKOV-3 cells, though they were not as clear as in NOS4 cells. All the anti-Fas antibody-mediated signals for apoptosis induction in NOS4 cells were completely blocked by a caspase-8-specific inhibitor, Z-IETD-FMK. These results indicate that the different sensitivities to the anti-Fas antibody are solely dependent on the activation of caspase-8, which could be influenced by yet unknown qualitative or quantitative abnormalities in molecules involved in DISC formation.
