The clinical efficacy of the antitumor antibiotic
drug doxorubicin (DOX) is severely limited by its dose-limiting
cardiotoxicity in cancer patients. DOX-induced generation of reactive
oxygen species was proposed to be a major mechanism of its
cardiotoxicity. Previously, we showed that DOX undergoes a reductive
activation at the reductase domain of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase
(eNOS) forming the semiquinone and superoxide (Vásquez-Vivar, J.,
Martasek, P., Hogg, N., Masters, B. S. S., Pritchard, K. A., Jr., and Kalyanaraman, B. (1997) Biochemistry 36, 11293-11297). In this report, we provide evidence for DOX-induced
increase in eNOS transcription and protein expression in bovine aortic
endothelial cells (BAEC). We propose that DOX-induced hydrogen peroxide
formation is responsible for the increased transcription of eNOS. BAEC
treated with antisense eNOS oligonucleotide inhibits DOX-induced
endothelial apoptosis. Treatment with antioxidants restored the levels
of antiapoptotic proteins (Hsp70 and Bcl-2) in DOX-treated BAEC.
DOX-induced intracellular oxidative stress, as measured by oxidation of
dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate to dichlorofluorescein and
hydroethidium to ethidium, was inhibited by antisense eNOS
oligonucleotide and antioxidant treatment. Furthermore, antiapoptotic
antioxidants (e.g. FeTBAP, ebselen, and
-phenyl-tert-butyl nitrone) inhibited DOX-induced eNOS
transcription. We conclude that DOX-induced apoptosis is linked to the
redox activation of DOX by eNOS.
