B Activation Mediates Doxorubicin-induced Cell Death in
N-type Neuroblastoma Cells*

**, and
From the Departments of Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial
solid tumor of childhood. N-type neuroblastoma cells (represented by
SH-SY5Y and IMR32 cell lines) are characterized by a neuronal
phenotype. N-type cell lines are generally N-myc amplified,
express the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, and do not express caspase-8.
The present study was designed to determine the mechanism by which
N-type cells die in response to specific cytotoxic agents (such as
cisplatin and doxorubicin) commonly used to treat this disease. We
found that N-type cells were equally sensitive to cisplatin and
doxorubicin. Yet death induced by cisplatin was inhibited by the
nonselective caspase inhibitor z-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone or the
specific caspase-9 inhibitor N-acetyl-Leu-Glu-His-Asp-aldehyde,
whereas in contrast, caspase inhibition did not prevent
doxorubicin-induced death. Neither the reactive oxygen species nor the
mitochondrial permeability transition appears to play an important role
in this process. Doxorubicin induced NF-

degradation prior to loss of cell
viability. Surprisingly, the antioxidant and NF-
B inhibitor
pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate blocked doxorubicin-induced NF-
B
transcriptional activation and provided profound protection against
doxorubicin killing. Moreover, SH-SY5Y cells expressing a
super-repressor form of I-
B were completely resistant to doxorubicin
killing. Together these findings show that NF-
B activation mediates
doxorubicin-induced cell death without evidence of caspase function and
suggest that cisplatin and doxorubicin engage different death pathways
to kill neuroblastoma cells.
