However, the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-tumor activity of tazarotene are poorly understood. This study aims at investigating the molecular mechanisms of tazarotene-induced apoptosis in human BCC cells. Our results are the first to demonstrate that tazarotene induces mitochondria-dependent cleavage of caspase-9 and -3 and PARP in BCC cells by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activating caspase-8 through both ROS and death receptor signaling. These events are accompanied by a decrease in BCL-2 and BCL-xl anti-apoptotic proteins as well as by survivin and XIAP, two IAP family members. Furthermore, our results presented for the first time that tazarotene triggers a convergence of the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways via the caspase-8-truncated Bid signaling pathway. Collectively, these data provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying tazarotene-induced apoptosis in human BCC cells, suggesting that this compound is a potential anti-skin cancer drug. |
