Interleukin 24 (IL24) is an immunomodulatory cytokine that also displays broad cancer-specific suppressor effects. The tumor suppressor activities of IL-24 include inhibition of angiogenesis, sensitization to chemotherapy, and cancer-specific apoptosis. Supra-physiologic activation and/or overexpression of translation initiation factors are implicated in the initiation and progression of cancer animal models as well as a subset of human cancers. Activation and/or overexpression of translation initiation factors correlate with aggressiveness of cancer and poor prognosis. Two rate-limiting translation initiation complexes, the ternary complex and the eIF4F complex are regulated by eIF2α and 4E-BP1 phosphorylation, respectively. The work reported here provides direct evidence that IL-24 induces inhibition of translation initiation leading to apoptosis in squamous cell carcinoma. A dominant constitutively active mutant of eIF2α, which is resistant to phosphorylation, was used to determine the involvement of eIF2α in IL24-induced apoptosis. Treatment with IL-24 resulted in inhibition of protein synthesis, expression of downstream biomarkers of ternary complex depletion such as CHOP, and induction of apoptosis in cancer cells. The constitutively active non-phosphorylatable mutant of eIF2α, eIF2α-S51A, reversed both the IL24-mediated translational block and IL24-induced apoptosis. Intriguingly, IL-24 treatment also caused hypophosphorylation of 4E-BP1 which binds to eIF4E with high-affinity thus preventing its association with eIF4G and therefore preventing elF4F complex assembly. These results demonstrate a previously unrecognized role of IL-24 in inhibition of translation, mediated through both phosphorylation of eIF2α and de-phosphorylation of 4E-BP1, and provide the first direct evidence for translation control of gene-specific expression by IL-24.
