Targeting human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase to mitochondria protects cells from 2-methoxyestradiol-induced-mitochondria-dependent apoptosis
2-Methoxyestradiol (2-ME), an endogenous estrogen metabolite of 17β-estradiol, is known to induce mitochondria-mediated apoptosis through several mechanisms. We sought to study the effect of mitochondrialy targeted hOGG1 (MTS- hOGG1 ) on HeLa cells exposed to 2-ME. MTS- hOGG1 -expressing cells expos...

| Summary: | 2-Methoxyestradiol (2-ME), an endogenous estrogen metabolite of 17β-estradiol, is known to induce mitochondria-mediated apoptosis through several mechanisms. We sought to study the effect of mitochondrialy targeted
hOGG1
(MTS-
hOGG1
) on HeLa cells exposed to 2-ME. MTS-
hOGG1
-expressing cells exposed to 2-ME showed increased cellular survival and had significantly less G
2
/M cell cycle arrest compared to vector-only-transfected cells. In addition, 2-ME exposure resulted in an increase in mitochondrial membrane potential, increased apoptosis, accompanied by higher activation of caspase-3, -9, cleavage of Bid to tBid and protein poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage in HeLa cells lacking MTS-
hOGG1
.
Fas
inhibitors cerulenin or C75 inhibited 2-ME-induced caspase activation, PARP cleavage, apoptosis and reversed mitochondrial membrane hyperpolarization, thereby recapitulating the increased expression of MTS-
hOGG1
. Hence, MTS-
hOGG1
plays an important protective role against 2-ME-mediated mitochondrial damage by blocking apoptosis induced through the Fas pathway. |
