Exposure of mammalian cells to UV light causes initial changes in the cell membrane, induces phosphorylation and clustering of growth factor/cytokine receptors, and activates the Jun N-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) signaling pathway leading to programmed cell death (apoptosis). In this study, we found that an early event in the cell membrane of myeloblastic leukemia (ML-1) cells was the vigorous activation of the voltage-gated K+ channel by UV irradiation. The strong enhancement by UV irradiation of K+ channel activity in the cell membrane subsequently activated the JNK/SAPK signaling pathway and resulted in myeloblastic leukemia cell apoptosis. Suppression of UV-induced K+ channel activation with specific channel blockers prevented UV-induced apoptosis through inhibition of UV-induced activation of the proteins SEK (SPAK kinase) and JNK. However, suppression of K+ channel activity could not protect cells from etoposide-induced apoptosis, which bypasses the membrane event. Elimination of extracellular Ca2+ had no effect on the UV-induced and K+ channel-mediated JNK/SAPK activation. Thus, we have identified a novel mechanism in which activation of K+ channels by UV-irradiation upstream of SEK and SAPK/JNK mediates UV-induced myeloblastic cell apoptosis.
