From the The mechanisms of UVB-induced apoptosis and the
role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) were investigated
in HaCaT cells. UVB doses that induced apoptosis also produced a
sustained activation of p38 MAPK and mitochondrial cytochrome
c release, leading to pro-caspase-3 activation. Late into
the apoptotic process, UVB also induced a caspase-mediated cleavage
of Bid. Caspase inhibitors benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone and
benzyloxycarbonyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-fluoromethylketone substantially
blocked the UVB-induced apoptosis without preventing the release
of mitochondrial cytochrome c and the p38 MAPK activation. The inhibition of p38 MAPK counteracted both apoptosis and cytochrome c release as well as the DEVD-amino-4-methylcoumarin
cleavage activity without affecting the processing of pro-caspase-8.
These results indicate that UVB induces multiple and independent
apoptotic pathways, which culminate in pro-caspase-3 activation, and
that the initial cytochrome c release is independent of
caspase activity. Importantly, we show that a sustained p38 MAPK
activation contributes to the UVB-induced apoptosis by mediating the
release of mitochondrial cytochrome c into the cytosol.
