Various anticancer drugs cause mitochondrial
perturbations in association with apoptosis. Here we investigated the
involvement of caspase- and Bcl-2-dependent pathways in
doxorubicin-induced mitochondrial perturbations and apoptosis. For this
purpose, we set up a novel three-color flow cytometric assay using
rhodamine 123, annexin V-allophycocyanin, and propidium iodide to
assess the involvement of the mitochondria in apoptosis caused by
doxorubicin in the breast cancer cell line MTLn3. Doxorubicin-induced
apoptosis was preceded by up-regulation of CD95 and CD95L and a
collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential (
Differential Regulation of Doxorubicin-induced
Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Apoptosis by Bcl-2 in Mammary
Adenocarcinoma (MTLn3) Cells*

) occurring prior
to phosphatidylserine externalization. This drop in 
was
independent of caspase activity, since
benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-DL-Asp-fluoromethylketone
did not inhibit it.
Benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-DL-Asp-fluoromethylketone also
blocked activation of caspase-8, thus excluding an involvement of the
death receptor pathway in 
dissipation. Furthermore, although
overexpression of Bcl-2 in MTLn3 cells inhibited apoptosis, dissipation
of 
was still observed. No decrease in 
was observed in
cells undergoing etoposide-induced apoptosis. Immunofluorescent analysis of 
and cytochrome c localization on a
cell-to-cell basis indicates that the collapse of 
and cytochrome
c release are mutually independent in both normal and
Bcl-2-overexpressing cells. Together, these data indicate that
doxorubicin-induced dissipation of the mitochondrial membrane potential
precedes phosphatidylserine externalization and is independent of a
caspase- or Bcl-2-controlled checkpoint.
