From the Cell death can proceed through at least two
distinct pathways. Apoptosis is an energy-dependent process
characterized morphologically by cell shrinkage, whereas oncosis is a
form of cell death induced by energy depletion and initially
characterized by cell swelling. We demonstrate in HeLa cells but not in
normal diploid fibroblasts that modest increases in the expression
level of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP-2) leads to a rapid and dramatic
fall in mitochondrial membrane potential and to a reduction of
mitochondrial NADH and intracellular ATP. In HeLa cells, increased
UCP-2 expression leads to a form of cell death that is not inhibited by
the anti-apoptotic gene product Bcl-2 and that morphologically
resembles cellular oncosis. We further describe the creation of a
dominant interfering mutant of UCP-2 whose expression increases resting
mitochondrial membrane potential and selectively increases the
resistance to cell death following oncotic but not apoptotic
stimuli. These results suggest that distinct genetic programs may
regulate the cellular response to either apoptotic or oncotic stimuli.
