RÉSUMÉ
L'acroléine est un aldéhyde a.,p-insaturé extrêmement réactif et ell e est un produit de la péroxydation lipidique. Ell e est un po lluant env ironnemental qui a été impliqué com me un facteur de risque de développer plusieurs malad ies resp irato ires (bronchite, asthme) et neurodégénératives (A lzheimer) ainsi que l'athérosclérose. L' acroléine qui se trouve à des concentrations élevée au niveau de l' hippocampe des patients atte ints de l' Alzhe imer est proposée comme marqueur biochimique pour le pronostic de la malad ie. L'acroléine est uti 1 isée comme herbicide et elle est générée par la fumée de cigarette, la cuisson d ' hui le, le métaboli sme de certa ins agents ant icancéreux, lors de la péroxydation des 1 ipides et après expos iti on aux rayons UV. L' acro léine est libérée lors des feux de forêt, ce qui représente un grand risque pour les pompiers et les seco uri stes. JI a été démontré que 1 'acro lé ine est un fort irritant des muqueuses et du système respiratoire. L'acro lé ine est produite lors de la désamination oxydative par la spermine oxydase . Les produits d ' oxydation des polyamines sont impliqués dans l' inhibition de la proli fé rat ion cellulaire, l'apoptose, et l' inhibition de la synthèse de l'ADN et des protéi nes. Ai nsi, à cause de l' impact impo11ant de l'acrolé ine sur la santé humaine, nous avons entrepris cette étude afin de déterminer, et ce pour la première fois , les mécani smes moléculaires impliqués dans la mort ce llulaire induite par cet aldéhyde.
Le premier obj ectif visait à défi nir l' implication de la vo ie mitochondri ale dans l' apoptose induite par l'acroléine. Cette étud e est réalisée chez les cellules ovariennes de hamster chinois (CHO). L'acroléi ne induit l' apoptose en entraînant la baisse du potentiel membranaire m itochondria l, la 1 i bération du cytochrome-C, l'activation de la caspase-9 initiatrice et la caspase-7 exécutrice. D'a ill eurs, l' acro léine a inhibé l'activité enzymatique de la caspase-3 exéc utrice tout en c li vant la fo rme proenzyme de la protéine. L'activation des caspases-7 et -9 a été confirmée par le c livage de leurs proenzymes. L' apoptose induite par l'ac roléine a été inhibée par un inhibiteur de la caspase-9 mais pas avec un inhibiteur de la caspase-3. L' induction de l' apoptose par l'acroléine a été confirmée morpholog iquement par la co ndensati on nucl éaire de la chromatine et par le cli vage de l' inhibiteur de la DNase act ivée par les caspases (ICAD). Le cli vage de I' ICAD libère l'endonucléase CA O qui emmène la fragmentation de 1 'ADN . Ces résu ltats démontrent que 1 'acroléine induit l' apoptose par la voie mitochondriale.
Le deuxième objectif visait à étab lir l' implicat ion de la vo ie des récepteurs de mort dans l' induction de l' apoptose par l' ac rolé ine. L expos ition des cellu les ovariennes de hamster chinois (CHO) à l' acro léi ne entraînait la translocation de l'adapteur de domaine de mort de Fas (FADO) à la membrane plasmique et l'activation de la caspase-8 ini tiatr ice. Kp7-6, un antagoni ste du récepteur Fas, bloquait les évènements apoptotiques en aval de la caspase-8 , comme l'activation de la caspase-7 exécutrice et la condensation de la chromat ine nucléa ire. L'acro léine induit une transduction cro isée entre la vo ie de signali at ion des récepteurs de mort et
XV III
ce lle de la mitochondrie en clivant la protéine Bid en sa forme tronquée t-bid qui se transloque à la membrane mitochondriale pour stimuler cette voie. L ' inhibition spécifique du récepteur Fas ou de la caspase-8 inhibait parti ellement l 'activation de la caspase-9 par l ' acroléine. Ces résultats démontrent que l ' acroléine active la voie du récepteur Fas en amont de la voie mi tochondriale. La caspase-9 demeurait active malgré l ' inhibition du récepteur Fas et de la caspase-8 suggérant que l 'acroléine peut induire la vo ie mitochondriale indépendamment de la vo ie des récepteurs de mort.
Le troisième objectif était d' examiner l ' implicat ion des proté ines kinases activées par des mitogènes (MAPK) dans l ' apopto e induite par l ' acroléine. Quelques études ont démontré que l ' acroléine active les MAPKs et d 'autres ont rapporté que l ' acroléine induit l 'apoptose. Cependant, aucune étude n a examiné le lien entre l ' activation des MAPK et l 'apoptose induite par l 'acroléine. Nous avons démontré pour la première fo is que l ' apoptose induite par l ' acroléine est dépendante des MAPK. Une heure d' exposition à l ' acroléine induisa it une forte phosphory lation de la kinase régulatrice extracellulaire (ERK), de la p38 et du substrat de la kinase Ntermina le de c-jun (JN K), c-jun, chez les ce llule Cl-10. L' inhibition de la condensati on de la chromatine induite par l ' acroléine à l 'a ide de l ' inhibiteur de ERK, leU 126, et l ' inhibiteur de la p38, le SB203580, démontre clairement l ' implication de ces deux voies dans l ' apoptose induite par !" acro léine. En plu s, le UO I26 et le SB203580 inhibaient l ' act ivat ion des caspases-7 et -9 et le cli vage de I ' ICAD induites par l 'acroléine. D'autre part, les voies de JNK et de la protéine kinase 8 (AKT) semblent être impliquées dans la survie contre l ' agression par l 'acroléine, puisque des inhibiteurs pharmaco log iques de ces deux voies, le SP600 125 , le L Y294002 et le Wortmannin changeaient la mort par apoptose en nécrose. Enfin, l ' acroléine a entraîné la phosphory lation de p53, une proté ine responsable de la transcription de plusieurs gènes impliqués dans l ' apoptose dont ceux de Bax et le ligand Fas.
Le quatrième objectif visait à déterminer l ' implication du N -acéty lcystéine (NAC), un précurseur du glutathion, dans la protection contre la toxicité engendrée par l ' acroléine. L ' expos ition des cellules Cl-IO à une concentrat ion non-cytotoxique d' acroléine (4 fmol/cel l), baissa it le glutathion intracellulaire de 45 % de son taux initial. Le NAC augmentait le niveau du glutathion intracellulaire et otfrait une protection contre la cytotox icité et l 'apoptose induite par l 'acroléine. Le NAC affecta it l ' apoptose induite par l ' acroléine en inhi bant la vo ie mitochondriale. Le NAC inhibait la translocation de bad à la mitochondrie et la baisse du bcl-2 mitochondriale induites par l 'acro léine. D 'autre part, le NAC inhibait la baisse du potentiel membranaire, le clivage de la procaspase-9, 1 'activat ion des caspases-9, -7 et -8 ainsi que le clivage de PARP. L ' inhibition parNAC de l ' apoptose induite par l ' acroléine était confirmée morph ologiquement par la baisse de la condensation de la chromatine nucléaire. Ces résultats suggèrent que NAC peut être utili sé comme un antidote pour traiter les gens exposés à l 'acroléine.
En conclusion, ces résultats ont permis une meilleure compréhension de la tox icité de l ' acroléine, un des produits majeurs de l 'oxydation des po lyamines
X IX
impliqués dans la régulation de la proliférati on cellulaire et la croissance des tumeurs. En plus, cette étude a permis de proposer une exp li cat ion possible de l ' act ivité pharmacologique et/ou de la toxicité du cyc lophosphamide, un agent anticancéreux, qui est métabo li sé en acroléine et en un mélange de phosphoramides. Cec i ouvre la vo ie au déve loppement de l ' enzymothérapie par l 'am ine oxydase du sérum de bovin (BSAO) pour lutter contre les cancers. Le milieu cancéreux contient des concentrations élevées en polyamines qui sont des molécules nécessa ires à la division et la proliférati on ce llulaire. Ces polyamines seront oxydées par la BSAO et libéreront les prod uits d'oxydation dont l ' acroléine et le péroxyde d'hydrogène qui sont impliqués dans l ' inhibition de la proli fé rat ion ce llulaire, l ' apoptose, et l ' inhibition de la synthèse de l ' A DN et des protéines. Ce faisant, la taille de la tumeur régresse et la santé du pat ient s'améliora. D 'autre part, les résultats de ce projet permettent d'envisager la poss ibilité d'utiliser les compo és qui augmentent le ni veau de glutathion (GS!-1) dont le AC dans des cas de toxic ité à l 'acroléine, molécule qui prend de l 'ampleur dans la recherche sur la maladie d' Alzheimer.

CHAPITRE 1
INTRODUCTION
Le 26 avril 1914, M. Thomas Edison écrit une lettre à M. Henry Ford et je
c ite : "The injurious agent in cigareLtes cames principally fi'o m the burning paper
wrapper. The substance thereby formed, is ca/Led "Acrolein". ft has a violent action
on the nerve centers, producing degeneration of the cells of the brain, which is quite
rapid among boys. Unlike most narcotics this degenera/ion is permanent and
uncontro!Lable. 1 employ no persan who smokes cigare/Les". Cette cé lèbre lettre de
l' inventeur du télégraphe montre bien la noc ivité de cette substance et le dan ger du
tabagisme. De nos jours, 1 'acroléine soul ève de pl us en pl us d' intérêt dans la
recherche surtout au niveau des malad ies respirato ires et neurodégénérat ives.
L'acro léi ne (2-propenal) est la plus é lectroph ile des aldéhydes a ,f3-insaturées.
Elle est extrêmement volatile, piquante, lacrymogène et infl ammable. L' humain est
exposé à l' acroléine de multiples façon s et elle est un polluant omniprésent dans
l' environnement (Takeuchi et al. , 200 1; Li et al. , 1999). Cet aldéhyde est dix foi s
plus toxique que le formaldéhyde qui est largement étudi é en tox icolog ie de
l' environn ement (Sun et al., 2006) .
L'acroléine est utilisée comme herbi cide aquat ique depuis plus de 40 ans
(Bowmer et al. , 1976), car elle est cytotoxiq ue pour les ti ssus des plantes et se
décompose rapidement dans l'eau (Kissel et al., 1978). Son utili sation s'étend à la
synthèse des polymères de l'acrylate, de l'ac ide acrylique, de l' immunosuppresseur
FR90 1483 (Maeng et Funk, 2001) et de la cytotox ine lepadiformine (Greshock et
Funk, 200 1 ).

L' acrolé ine se trouve dans tous les types de fumée, notamment la fumée de
cigarette (25 à 468 ~Lg par unité) (Esterbauer et al. , 199 1; Carm ines et Gawor ki ,
2005; Fuji oka et Shibamoto, 2006), l'émiss ion des moteurs et les feux de forêts ce qui
représente un ri sque pour les pompiers et les seco uri stes (Caux et al., 2002).
L' acrolé ine est auss i libérée dans la vapeur de la cui sson d ' huile dont on a rapporté
des cas sévères de toxicité (Beauchamp et aL. , 1985). En plus, ell e peut être produite
par l' oxydation des lipides et former de l'acrylamide, un puissant cancérigène, suite à
la cui sson de la patate par de l' huile végétale (Ehling et al. , 2005) . Durant la
combustion de matér iaux organiques, par exemple le diese l et le plast ique, l' ac rolé ine
e t libérée en grandes concentrat ions (G hilarducc i et a l. , 1995 ; Uchida et al. , 1998).
"ln vivo" , l'acroléine est un des métabo lites des agents anti cancéreux
cyc lophosp hamide et ifosfamide et e lle semble responsab le de l' effet thérapeutique
( chwerd t et al. , 2006; Kehrer et Biswa l, 2000) et de l' hémorrag ie cystique causée
par une expos ition chronique à ces agents (Batista et al. , 2006). De plus, e lle est
formée à partir de l'oxydation de la thréonine par la myé loperox idase du neutrophile
aux sites d ' inflammation (S hao el al. , 2005; Vas ilyev et al., 2005; Anderson et al. ,
1997). L'acrolé ine est produite par l'oxydation des polyamines (Hoet et Nemery,
2000; Agostinelli et al., 1996), par le métaboli sme de l' a ll y lamine qui est une toxine
card iovasculaire (He el aL., 1998) et par l'oxydati on de lipides insaturés par 1 ' ozone
(Med ina-Navarro et al, 1999). Ell e est auss i fo rmée par des réacti ons photochimiques
dans l'a ir pollué. Se lon une étude, le tabag isme est une source s ignifi cati ve
d ' acroléine à l' in téri eur des maisons mal aérées de l' Il e du Prince-Edouard du Canada
(G ilbert et al. , 2005). On estime à 5% la concentrat ion de l' ac roléine dans l'a ir pollué
par rapport au total des aldéhydes, notons que le fo rmaldéhyde représente le taux le
plus élevé.
L'acrolé ine est un irritant sensori el puissa nt. Une co urte exposition à 0.67
ppm endommage les muqueuses olfact ives et respirato ires (Cassee et al. , 1996).
D'autre part, une courte expos ition à 6 ppm peut emmener une baisse de 50% dans le
ta ux de respi ration chez le rat et une inhibi tion accrue des mouvements des c il s
3
(Bergers et al., 1996; Cassee et al., 1996) . Une expo iti on prolongée à 10 ppm
d' acroléine peut entraîner la mort d ' une personne et des cas d' irritation sévère des
poum ons et de la trachée ont été rapportés avec une expos iti on a llant de 0. 17 ppm à
0.43 ppm (Agency fo r Tox ic Substances, 1989). Des analyse récentes montra ient des
concentrati ons au-delà de 3 ppm da ns 1 0% des fe ux à la vi Il e de Boston aux États
Uni s (Tre itman et al. , 1 980). Notons qu 'on retro uve un e concentrat ion de 0.04 à 0.08
ppm d'acrolé ine dans l' air ambiant (Costa et Amd ur, 1996) . On est ime la
concentrati on d 'acroléine inhalée en fum ant ou en res pirant dans un environnement
de fumeurs à 80 ~-tM dans le fluid e du tractus respirato ire (E iseri ch et al., 1995). Sa
production annue lle aux États-Uni s est estimée à 60 millions de li vres sans compter la
partie utili sée pour la synthèse de l'ac ide acrylique (Huang et al., 2002).
1.1.2. Propriétés physiques
L'acroléine est un liquide de couleur blanche ou jaune. Ell e a une odeur trè
désagréable qui peut être sentie à aussi peu qu e 0.2 ppm . La fo rmul e chimique est
C3H40 et la masse molaire est de 56.06 g/mol. La pre sion de vapeur de l' ac rolé ine
est de 220 mm Hg à 20°C et son coeffic ient de parti tion Log Kow est -0.01 (Agency
for Tox ic Substances, 1989) . Pour l' acroléine, 1 ppm représente une concentration de
2.29 mg/m3.
1.1.3. Propriétés biochimiques
1.1.3.1. La réaction d'addition de Michael
L'acro lé ine est capable de réagir selon la réaction d' additi on de Michae l
(Kaminskas et al., 2005; Maeda et Kraus, 1997) qui est une façon class ique de fo rmer
des 1 iaisons carbone-carbone (F igure 1 . 1 ). JI s ' ag it s implement de la conjuga ison d ' un
énolate nucléoph ile à un composé carbonyle a , ~- i n saturé te l que l' ac roléine.
L' acro léi ne peut réagir avec les ac ides nucléiques, les acides aminés et les thiols par
la réaction d'addi tion de Michae l, et de ce fa it créer de li a i ons protéine-acroléine-
4
proté ine (B urcham et Pyke, 2006), ADN-acro léin e-ADN (Sanchez el al. , 2005 ;
Kozekov et al., 2003) ou protéine-acrolé in e-ADN (M inko et al. , 2005) .

1.1.3.2. Interactions au niveau cellulaire : mécanismes de toxicité
1.1.3.2.1. Modifications des acides nucléiques par l'acroléine
L'acro lé ine réagit avec les bases azotées de l' ADN (Pawlowicz el al. , 2006;
Kitamura et al. , 2006; Talœ uchi et al., 2001 ; Kehrer 2000). L'acro léine réagit avec le
désoxyguanos ine (dG) de 1 ' ADN pour forme r des exocycles stéréo isométriques dans
les tissus humai ns (Ch ung et al., 1999; De Los Santos el al., 200 1) entraînant une
substitution de la guanine en thymine ou en adénine lors de la réplicati on de 1 'ADN .
Il a été démontré que la fo rme 1 (voir Figure 1.2) e t dominante après une réaction
entre l' acroléine et le 2' -désoxyguanosine de l' ADN tandi s que la forme 3 est la
stru cture la plus stable (Khull ar et al. , 1999 ; Kanuri et al. , 2002) . Ces exocyc les
prévi ennent la fo rmati on des ponts hydrogènes Watson-Cri ck et ainsi inhi bent la
synthèse de l'ADN jusqu 'à 70% et emmènent des erreurs durant la réplication chez
Escherichi a co li (Yang et al. , 200 1 ). Ces nouve ll es 1 iaiso ns peuvent contribuer à la
mu tagenèse spontanée et jouent un rôle dans le vie illi ssement et le cancer (Yang et
al., 2002; Chung el al. , 1999). L' addition de l'acrolé ine à la guanine se fa it par la
réaction d' add ition de Michael (Nechev et al., 2002 ; Pan and Chung, 2002). Une
récente étude démontrait par simulation d' énergie libre (L\G) que laN -alky lation de la
5
guanine éta it plus favorisée que la 0 6-alky lat ion (Ba lu el al. , 2002). L ' acroléine
stimule la ca rcinogénèse de l 'appare il urinaire chez le rat (Cohen el al. , 1992). Elle
est une inhibitrice potentielle des enzymes de réparation de l ' ADN, par exemp le la
poly-ADP-ribose-polymérase (PARP) (Grafstrom et al., 1994 ; Dypbukt et al., 1993).
Cela exp lique sa génotox icité et son activ ité mutagénique chez la drosophile (S ierra
el al. , 199 1) et les bactéries (Parent et al., 1996; Van Beerendonk et al., 1998) .

1.1.3.2.2. Modifications des acides aminés par l'acroléine
L 'acro léi ne réagit avec le groupe sul fhyd ry l de la cysté ine (Starkenmann et
al., 2005), l ' imidazo le de l ' hi st idine et l ' amine de la lysine des protéines (Kitamura el
al. , 2006; Takeuchi et al., 2001; Kehrer, 2000). D'autre part, l 'acroléine mod ifie les
résidus histidine de l 'anhydrase carbonique (Tu et al., 1989) pour former deux
nouveaux composés, le Afl-acétyl-~-formy l éthy lhi stidine (F igure 1.38) et le Afl
acéty i-N r-formylethylhistidine (F igure 1.3C) (Uchida et al. , 1998). Bien qu ' il éta it
6
proposé que la réacti on de l' acroléin e avec les groupements amme fo rme les
propanals ~-substi tu és (R---N H---CH2---CH2---CHO) et la base de Schiffs (R---N I--l-
-C l--1 2---CI-h ----CH-----N---R), une structure acroléine- lys ine ou W-(3 -fo rm yl-3,4-
dehydropiperidino) lys ine (FDP-Iys ine) a été identifi ée comme le produit majeur de la
réacti on (Esterbauer et al. , 199 1) (F igure 1.3 A ). Une récente étude a démontré le
potenti el é lectrophilique de la FDP-Iys ine (Furuhata et al., 2002). A insi la structure
N-a -acety i-FDP-Iys ine, générée par la réaction de la N-a-acétyl-lys ine avec
l' ac rolé ine, a été cova lement liée à la glycérald ehyde-3-phosp hate déshydrogénase
(GA PDH). Notons que la GA PDH est responsab le de la prod uction du nicotinamide
adenine dinucléotide (NADH). La structure FDP-Iys in e réag issa it auss i avec le
glutathi on pour fo rmer un nouveau conjugué proté ique (F igure 1.4) (Furuhata et al.,
2002).

Figu•·e 1.4: Une illustration d' une glutathio lat ion d' une protéine par l 'acroléine (Furuhata et al., 2002) . L'acroléine réag it avec le groupe amine de la lys ine des protéines pour former la FDP-Iys ine, le produit majeur de réaction (Ki tamura et al. , 2006; Takeuchi et al., 2001 ; K ehrer, 2000). La tru cture FDP-Iy ine réagit ensui te avec le glutathion pour former un nouveau conj ugué proté ique (Furuhata et al. . 2002).
1.1.3.2.3. Interactions avec les thiols et les facteurs de transcription L 'acroléine est la plus réactive des aldéhydes a.,f3- insaturées. Elle se lie
rapidement aux molécules nucléophiliques comme le glu tathi on qui est un thiol
essentiel pour la défense antioxydante. On peut vo ir dan la Figure 1.5 la réaction
d' un thiol (glutathion) avec l ' acroléine par la réact ion d' add it ion de Michael.

Figu•·e 1.5: Réaction d' un thiol (exemple: glutathi on) avec l 'acroléine (Tacka et al.,
2002). L ' acroléine, une molécule électrophili que, e lie rapidement aux molécules
nucléophil iques comme le glutathion qui est un thiol essentiel pour la défense
antioxydante. L'acroléine réag it avec le groupe ul fhyd ry l de la cysté ine selon le
mécanisme d'addi tion de Michae l (Starkenmann et al., 2005).

De plus, l ' acroléine inacti ve l ' enzyme glu ta thi one réductase qui régénère la
form e réduite du glutathion (GS H), lorsque le GS H est oxydé en disul fure de
glutathi on (GSSG) (N unoshiba et Yamamoto, 1999) . Ces réacti ons vont diminuer les
concentrati ons intracellulaires des thi ols, créant un déséquilibre dans la balance
d'oxydo-réducti on (Finkelstein et al. , 2001 ; N unosh iba et Yamamoto 1999) .
La balance d' oxydo-réduction des thiol est cri t ique pour plusieurs fonctions
cellulaires (A rrigo, 1999) et des changements indui ts par l ' acroléine semblent affecter
plusieurs vo ies de signali sation. Notons qu ' il y a un grand nombre de gènes et de
facteurs de transcription sensibles aux changements oxyda-réd ucteurs dont le facteur
nuc l éa ire-K~ (NF-K~) et la protéine acti vatri ce-1 (A P 1) (A llen et T resini , 2000;
A rri go, 1999). La régulation des facteurs de transcription a susc ité un grand intérêt
ces derni ères années. Ces protéines se lient au promoteur des gènes cibles
déc lenchant la transcripti on. La régulati on se fa it par activation de ces facteurs dans
le cytoso l pour une redi stribution dans le noyau, ou en affectant leur liaison au
promoteur. Ce processus requiert souvent de la cys téine au domaine de liaison à
l ' A DN. En se liant à un acide aminé nucléophile comme la cysté ine d ' un facteur de
transcription, 1 ' acroléine peut directement interférer avec cette transcripti on, ou
indirectement en diminuant le glutathi on intracellulaire. Plusieurs gènes et facteurs de
transcription impliqués dans le cycle ce llulaire et l ' apoptose ont été identifiés. "ln
v itro", 1 acroléine inhibe quelques-uns de ces facteurs notamment le facteur nucléa ire
kappa beta (N F-KB) et la protéine acti vatrice-1 (A P- l ) (Horton et al., 1999; Li et al.,
1999). Cec i se produit par liaison à une cystéine sur la so us-uni té p50 et/ou la sous
unité p65 dans le cas du facteur N F-KB (Kumar et al. , 1992 ; To ledano et al., 1993).
Plus récemment, on a démontré que l ' acroléine pourrait réag ir avec la kinase
inductible K~ ( !KK) et supprimer sa foncti on et de ce fait inhiber l ' activité du NF-KB .
Normalement, I' IKK enlève l ' inhibiteur kinase ( IK) du NF-KB par phosphory lati on et
ainsi act ive le facteur de transcription NF-KB (Valacchi et al., 2005)
9
L 'acroléine inacti ve la disul fure-i somérase qui participe à la maturation des
proté ines nouve llement synthétisées en perm ettant une bon ne formation des ponts
disul fures au niveau du rét iculum endop lasmique (Ca rbone el al., 2005 ; Li u et Sok,
2004). En plu s, l ' acroléine inhibe la thioredox ine et la thioredox ine-réd uctase qui
jouent un rôle dans la proli férat ion cellulaire et la régulation de plusieurs facteurs de
transcripti on qui sont sensibles aux condit ions d' oxydoréduction (Yang et al., 2004).
Une exposition des cellules A549 provenant d' un carcinome de poumon à une
concentrat ion non-léta le d'acroléine ( 150 f mol/cell ule pour une heure) diminue le
glutathi on intrace llulaire de 80%. De plus, l 'acro léine augmente la transcripti on de
l ' enzyme de synthèse de GSH, la y-glutamy lcystéine synthétase (y-GCS). En ce
fa isant, la y-GCS aide à rétablir le ni veau de glu tath ion réd ui t. Notons que cette
enzyme appartient à la famille des éléments de réponse aux ant ioxydants (ARE).
Cette activation de la transcription de la y-GCS est médiée par 1 ' act ivat ion du facteur
de transcripti on nucléaire déri vé des érythroides (N rf2) qui se lie aux gènes de la
phase Il et induit leur transcripti on (Tirumalai et al., 2002). Uchida ( 1999) a rapporté
que 1 ' acroléine est capable d' indu ire 1 'express ion de la gl utathion-S-transférase
(GST) qui est une enzyme impliquée dans la détox ificat ion de nombreux
xénob iotiques.
1.1.3.2.4. Physiopathologies associées à l'acroléine
L'acroléine augmente l 'express ion des gènes de mucines M UC5AC et
MUC58 qui emmènent une hypersécréti on de mucus (801·chers et al. , 1998, 1999).
Cette hypersécréti on est responsable de plusieurs maladies respirato ires notamment la
maladie chronique pulmonaire obstructi ve (Hogg 200 1 ), l ' asthme, la fibrose cystique
(W itschi et al. , 1997; Samet et al., 1994), la bronchi te chronique et l 'emphysème
(Saetta, 1999).
En parallèle, l 'acroléine peut altérer la fonct ion des neutrophiles humains en
inhibant leur apoptose et en accentuant la libération de l ' interleukine-8
10
(chimioattracteurs des neutrophiles). Cette altérati on favori se le processus
d' inflammati on des vo ies respiratoires (Akgul et al., 200 1; Finke lstein et al. , 200 1)
puisque l 'apoptose est l 'étape clé dans la réso lution de l ' inflammati on (Has lett 1999;
Fadok et al., 1998). En plus, l 'acroléine inhibe la NA DPl-1-oxydase des neutrophil es
qui est essentielle dans la défense cel lulaire contre les pathogènes (Nguyen et al. ,
200 1 ). Plusieurs études ont démontré des effets multiples de l 'acroléine sur la
fonction des macrophages alvéo laires, notamment une inhibition de la phagocytose
(Low et al., 1977). De plus, l 'acroléine inhibe la production de superoxyde dans les
macrophages alvéo laires de rat et dans les neutrophil es humains ( guyen et al., 200 1;
Witz el al. , 1987). L 'acroléine induit un taux élevé de mort ce llulaire, une producti on
altérée de cytokines ainsi qu ' une inhibition de la synthèse des macromolécules et de
l ' act iv ité ATPase dans les macrophages (L i et al. , 1997, 1999), ce qui est
probablement la cause de l ' immunosuppress ion pulmonaire (L i et Holain, 1998). De
nouve lles observations démontrent qu ' à un tau x de respirati on norm al de 2 à 4 Llm in,
un enfant peut théoriquement recevo ir une dose immunosuppress ive d'acroléine ( 10-
30 ~Lg) pour une heure d'expos ition, une dose qui co rrespond à une expos ition typique
à la fumée secondaire de cigarette dans un restaurant. Cette dose supprimerait la
réponse des lymphocytes T au niveau des poumons des fumeurs (Lambert et al.,
2005) .
Des liaisons acro léine-protéines ont été trouvées chez des personnes souffrant
de néphropathie diabétique (S uzuki and M iyata, 1999), de la maladie d'A lzheimer
(Se idler et al., 2006; Willi ams et al., 2006; Kawaguchi- iida et al., 2006; Se idler et
Squire, 2005 ; Arlt et al., 2002 ; Pocernich et al., 200 1; Ca lingasan et al ., 1999) et de
l ' i chém ie cérébrale (Ad ibhatl a et al., 2003), qui sont des malad ies assoc iées avec
une élévati on de la peroxydation lipidique. On a suggéré l ' utili sat ion de l 'acro léi ne
comme marqueur biochimique en clinique pour le prognostic de la maladie
d ' A lzheimer (Ca lingasan et al. , 1999), des lés ions diabétiques g lomérul aires (S uzuki
et al., 1999), de l ' athérosclérose (Biswal et al., 2002 ; Uchida et al. , 1998), du stress
oxyda tif chez les nouveaux-nés (Tsukahara et al., 2004 ), du diabète du type 1 (Hata et
Il
al. , 2006), de l' in suffisanèe rénale chronique ( lgarashi el al., 2006), et pour le
d iagnostic des accidents cérébraux (Tomitori et al. , 2005). Le sui vi peut se fa ire en
testant la concentrat ion du conjugué acrol éin e-l ys in e dans l' urine du pat ient (Yan el
al. , 2006). Au ni veau de l' hippocampe des patients attei nts de la maladie
d' Alzheimer, l'acroléine atteint 2 nM (Love ll el al., 2000, 200 1 ). Récemment, on a
observé que l'acroléin e éta it augmentée au ni vea u de la moe ll e épinière sui vant un
traumati sme (L iu-Snyder et al., 2006 ; Luo et Shi , 2004). De récents résultats
suggèrent que l'acrolé ine joue un rô le critique dans l'athérogénèse chez les humains
et ceci, en altérant le déplacement et le nettoyage du cholestérol à partir de la paroi
artéri ell e et en rendant moins stab le la plaque d'athérome déjà frag il e (Vindi s et al. ,
2006). Le prob lème du nettoyage du cholestérol est dü au fa it que l' acroléine interfère
avec le transport de la lipoprotéine de haute densité (I-IDL) en mod ifi ant la protéine
apoA-1 à la surface du HDL (S hao et al. , 2005). En plu s, l' acro léine est impliquée
dans le développement de l' angiopathie dont souffrent les fumeurs, et le sang de ces
gens ainsi que ce lui des diabét iques contient des concentrat ions é levées en acroléi ne
(M isonou et al. , 2006).
La peau est auss i une des c ibles de l' acroléi ne. pui sque la molécul e est fo rmée
de faço n end ogène suite aux irradiations des lipides pa r les rayons ul trav iolets du
oleil (Niyati-Shirkhodaee et Shibamoto, 1992). Dans la peau, l'acro léine peut causer
l' hypersensibilité non-immunologique (Verrier et al. , 1999 ; Coverly et al. , 1 998),
l' infl ammation, le développement de cancer, le vie illi ssement, la cytotox icité et la
génotox icité (G rafstrom et al. , 1994; U.S . Department of 1-l ea lth and 1-luman
Sciences, 1993) . L' acrolé ine est capab le d'act iver le récepteur du facteur de
cro issance épiderm ale (EGFR) chez les kérati nocytes humains, emmenant l' act ivat ion
des protéines ki nases act ivées par les mitogènes (MA PKs) et ainsi induire la mort
cellulaire par a po ptose (Takeuch i et al. , 200 1 ). Mentionnons ici que 1 'act ivat ion des
MAPKs peut prendre différentes vo ies de signali sation et ainsi induire l' apoptose
dans le cas des kératinocytes humains (Takeuch i el al., 200 1) et 1' inhibition de
l' apoptose chez les neutrophiles humains (Finke lste in et al. , 200 1 ).
12
Enfin, l ' acrol éine semble changer le phénotype bénin des tumeurs de co lon à
ce lui de malin et ceci probablement en inhibant la synthèse du p53 (Zarkov ic et al.,
2006).
En général, on remarque que l ' acroléine induit la mort ce llulaire par nécrose
(Rudra et Krokan, 1999) et cause une inhibi tion de la proliférati on ce llulaire
(Agostinelli et al., 1994, 1996; Biswal et al. , 2002). Toutefois, l ' acroléine peut
induire l ' apoptose ou l ' inhiber dans le même type cellulaire et cec i dépendamment de
la concentration et le type cellulaire utili sé. Par exemple, une fa ible concentration en
acroléine (< 10 ~-tM ) induit l 'apoptose chez les neutrophil es tandis qu ' une plus grand e
concentration (> 10 ~-tM) l ' inhibe (F ink.elsetin et al. , 2005).
1.1.3.2.5. Métabolisme de l'acroléine
Jusqu 'à récemment, il n' y ava it pas eu d'étude déta ill ée sur le métabolisme de
1 ' acroléine chez aucune espèce. On rapporta it que 1 ' acroléine était métabol isée en
glyc idaldéhyde, glyceraldéhyde et l ' ac ide acry lique dans les microsomes de fo ie de
rat (Pate! et al., 1980). Sharp et al. proposa it la vo ie métabolique ci-dessous (Figure
1.6) pour l ' acroléine chez la poule. Le métabolisme et la distribution du 2,3-C 14 de
l ' acroléine étaient étudiés chez 10 poules qui ont reçu oralement des doses de 1.09
mg/kg de masse corporelle par j our pour 5 j ours. La radioactivité était mesurée dans
les œufs, les excréments et l ' air expiré.

1.1.4. Protection cellulaire contre les effets néfastes de l'acroléine
La glutathi on-S-transférase (GST) li e l' ac roléine au glutathi on (GS I-I ) qui est
impliqué dans la défense cellulaire et ainsi éviter à la ce llule les effets indés irables de
1 'acro léine (Meacher et Menzel, 1999; Berhane el al., 1994; Eder et al., 1982).
D'autre part, l'acroléine induit la GST et la GS H-péroxydase in vivo suite à une
agress ion vasculaire chez le rat pour contrer la ba i se accru e de la GS l-1 -péroxydase et
de la GST au début de l'agress ion (Yousefipour el al., 2005) . L' aldéhyde
déshydrogénase-! est une enzyme importante dans la défense ce llulaire contre les
a ldéhydes tox iques dont l'acroléine chez l' humain (Lindahl et Peterson, 199 1;
Burcham et Fontaine, 2001 ). Cependant, l'acrolé ine entraîne une inhibition de
l' enzyme a ldéhyde déshydrogénase-! chez l' humain (Ren el al., 1998; Bunting et
Townsend , 1998), ce qui bloquera une des vo ies d' éliminati on de l'acroléin e.
L'enzyme 0 6-alkylguanine-ADN-transférase enl ève la modifi cati on apportée
à la pos ition 0 6 de la guanine après une alkylati on par l'acrolé ine (Ca i et al., 2000;
Balu el al., 2002) . De plus, récemment, on a découvert que la ce llule possède un
mécani me de réparation pour contourner les domm ages infligés à la guanine. En fa it,
la proté ine Rev 1 aj oute un rés idu C en face du G al ky lé par l'acrolé in e et la
polymérase Ç continue la répli cation et ain si la mutati on est réparée (Wolfle el al.,
2005 ; Washington el al., 2004).
L' hydral az ine, qui est un antihypertensi( est un piégeur efficace de l' acroléine
(Burcham et Pyke, 2006; Liu-Snyder el al. , 2006; Kaminskas el al., 2004; Burcham et
al., 2000). En plus, la carnos ine, un puissant anti oxydant, est auss i un piégeur de
l' ac roléine (A idini el al., 2005). Une nouve ll e étude vient de démontrer que la
v ita mine Cou l'ascorbate peut protéger des lipoproté ines te lles que les lipoproté ines
de très fa ible densité (VLDL) et les lipoprotéines à fa ibl e densité (LDL) contre
l' oxydati on par l' ac rolé ine. Les VLDL oxydées seront phagocytées par les
macrophages, une étape c lef dans l' initi ati on de l' ath érogénèse (A rai el al., 2005).
15
1.1.4.1. Le glutathion (GSH)
L'acroléine a été identifi ée comme un initi ateur et un produi t de la
peroxydation lipidique (Bi swa l et al. , 2002; Uc hid a, 1999) . De plus, ell e induit la
producti on de l' oxyde nitrique (NO), du superoxyde (02·-), elu peroxynitrite (ONOU)
et du peroxyde d' hydrogène (H20 2) (M isonou et al. , 2006). Comme ce processus
d'oxydation des 1 ipides ex iste naturell ement chez toute les ce llules et qu ' i 1 est
augmenté dans plusieurs pathophysiolog ies, un potenti e l de toxicité ex iste après une
exposition continue à un agent oxydati f te l que 1 ' acro léine.
Le glutathion (GSH), le plus important antioxydant intrace llula ire, peut
détox ifi er l' acroléine, une réaction catalysée par la T (F igure 1.7) . Trois produits
de détoxification sont fo rmés de la réacti on entre r acrolé ine et le GS H, so ient les
deux produits majeurs, l' ac ide 3-hydroxypropylmerca pturique (HPMA) et l' ac ide 2-
carboxyethylmercapturique (CEMA) , et l' ac ide merca pturique (A LMA) (Athersuch
et ai., 2006) . De plus, le cycle du glutathi on est le mécani sme central pour éliminer le
peroxyde d' hydrogène (H20 2) qui est auss i produi t dans la ce llule en présence
d' acrolé ine (Luo et al. , 2005).
D'autres substrats métabolisés par le glutathi on incluent les larges molécules
d' hydroperoxydede 1 ipides, formés par 1 'attaq ue de rad icaux 1 ibres sur les 1 ipides
membranaires, ain si que des produits de la réaction cataly ée par la lipooxygénase
(Heffner et Repine, 1989). L' enzyme clé du cycle d'oxydoréducti on responsable de la
réducti on du 1-120 2 est la glutathione péroxydase (G Px) (Hashicla et al ., 2002) (F igure
1.7). Cette réaction requiert spéc ifiquement le glutathion réd ui t (GS H) qui sert de
donneur d'é lectrons. Le glutathion di sul fure (GSSG) fo rm é au cours de la réacti on est
réduit de nouveau en GS H par la glutathion réd uctase (G R) (Halli we ll et Gutte rid ge,
1999), qui utilise le NADPH généré par le cyc le de pentose phosphates (C PP) qui
sert de donneur d 'électron (Rahman et al. , 1999). Des ce llules non tressées
maintiennent un rapport intracellula ire GS H:GSSG élevé pour assurer une
di sponibilité élevé de GSH (Deneke et Fanburg, 1989).

Figure 1.7: Mécanismes de détoxication cellulaire de l'acroléine impliquant le glutathion (adapté de Anderson, 1997; Rahman et al., 1999; Logan et al., 2005). Le GSH détoxifie l'acroléine à l'aide de la GST et le peroxyded'hydrogène (HzOz) à l'aide de la GPx. Le glutathion disulfure (GSSG) formé au cours de la réaction est réduit de nouveau en GSH par la glutathion réductase (GR) (Halliwell et Gutteridge, 1999), qui utilise le NADPH généré par le cycle des pentose phosphates (CPP) qui sert de donneur d'électron (Rahman et al., 1999).
17
Le GSl-1 est essentiel pour la défense antioxyclante, il réagit directement avec
les radicaux intermédiaires des réactions non-enzymatiques. L ' élimination du
superoxyde 0 2·- par GSH entraîne la formation des rad icaux thio l (GS·) et de 1-120 2
par l ' intermédiaire de plusieurs étapes, qu ' on appelle une réaction de propagati on
radicalaire.
En plus de son rôle comme cofacteur du GPx et de la GST, le GS H est
impliqué dans d' autres processus métaboliques, tel le maintien de l ' acide a c01·bique
sous sa fo rme réduite, la communication entre les ce llul es et la prévention de
1 ' oxydati on des groupements thi ols des protéines et des 1 iaisons croisées entre les
protéines (Halliwell et Guttericlge, 1999) . Le G 1-1 parti cipe à la synthèse des
précurseurs de la synthèse protéique et de 1 ·A ON et au transport d'ac ides am inés
(Oiry et al. , 1999). Le GSI-1 peut chélater les ions de cui vre et ainsi diminuer leur
disponibilité pour générer des radicaux libres . Par ailleurs, le GS I-I j oue un rôle cl ans
le repliement protéique et dans la dégradation des protéines avec 1 iaison disulfure.
Le GSH protège les cellules épithéliales pulmonaires de l ' oxydati on et de
l ' inflammation (Rahman et al., 1999, 2000). Une récente étude a démontré que le
GS H peut auss i atténuer le développement de l 'athérosclérose (Rosenblat et al.,
2002) . Enfin, on le retrouve dans le cytoso l à des concentrat ions de l 'ordre du
millimolaire chez les plantes, les animaux el les bactéri e aérobiques (A nderson,
1997).
1.1.4.1.1. Biosynthèse du GSH
Le GSH est synthéti sé en deux étapes. Premièrement, 1 'enzyme y
glutamy lcystéine synthétase (E 1) catalyse la fo rmati on du premier lien pept idique,
ensuite le produit est converti en GSH par la glutathi on synthétase (E2) (Équation 1)
(Ancier on, 1997 ; Rahman et al, 1999):
18
Équation 1:
El L-glutamate + L-cystéine + ATP ~ L-y-glutamyl-L-cystéine + ADP + P,
E2 L-y-glutamyl-L-cystéine +glycine + ATP --+- GSH + ADP + P1
Les cellules peuvent produire la cystéi ne nécessaire à partir de la méthionine ou
bien elles peuvent la prendre dans les flu ides avo isinants. Souvent, les ce llules
utili sent la forme disulfure (cystine) et la rédui sent en cysté ine à l ' intérieur de la
ce llule. Pour sa part, la y-g lutamylcystéine synthétase est rétro-inhibée par le GSH et
ne semble pas être saturée à des niveaux ce llulaires norm aux de cysté ine (Ha ll iwell et
Gutter idge, 1999). U ne élévation en cysté ine peut promouvo ir la synthèse du GS H
dans certaines circonstances.
1.1.4.2. Modulation du glutathion intracellulaire par des composés
synthétiques
L 'acroléine et les EOR, lorsque générées en excès et avec un mécanisme de
défense insuffisant, peuvent engendrer des dommages à l 'ADN, aux lipides
membranaires, aux protéines et aux carbohydrates (G illi ssen et Nowa! , 1998). Chez
l ' humain, plus particulièrement dans les poumons, plusieurs maladies ont a oc iées
aux métabolites oxygénés qui ont un rô le prédominant dans la pathogénicité. Par
conséquent, une approche thérapeutique consisterait en une augmentat ion de produits
antioxydants dans l 'organisme, tel le N -acéty l-L-cysté ine (NAC), le 2-oxo-4-
thiazo lidine carboxy late (OTC) et le chélateur desferroxami ne (G illi son et Nowak,
1998).
1.1.4.2.1. Le N-acétyl-L-cystéine (NAC)
Le NAC qui est un dérivé thiol , augmente le ni veau de GSH intracellulai re
chez les cellules animales. Le NAC est désacéty lé intrace llulairement afin de céder
19
une cystéi ne (Cotgreave, 1997). Cette dernière peut ensuite être rap idement utili sée
pour la synthèse du GS H (Issels et al. , 1988). À cause de son groupement SH, le
NAC élimine éga lement le peroxyded ' hydrogène (H20 2), les radicaux libres
hyd roxy les (OH") et l'acide hypochl oreux (HOC!). De plus, le NAC inhibe la
propriété immunosuppress ive de l'acroléine (La mbert et al., 2005) mai s réduit la
production ce llulaire des méd iateurs pro- inflammatoire tel s que le facte ur de nécrose
tumorale (TNF-a) et l' interleukine-( (IL-l ) (G illi ssen et Nowak, 1998). Le NAC
inhibe l' activation des facteurs de transcripti on "redox-sensiti ve", comme le AP-l
(Lo et al ., 1995) et le NFKB (Schreck et al ., 199 1 ), et bloque l' act ivat ion des MAPK.s
(Chen el al., 1995 ; Sekharam et al., 1 998) . Par ai lieurs, le N AC est uti 1 isé
c l iniquement pour traiter les surdoses d 'acétam inophène, un médicament détoxi fi é
par le GS H (Perry et Shannon, 1998). Le NAC est auss i un agent chimioprotecteur
réduisant les effets secondaires de nombreux composé cytotoxiq ues. Il st imule le
système immunita ire, prév ient le cancer, détox ifi e les ce llules des métaux lourds,
traite la bronchite et la toux des fumeurs , prév ient le maladi es cardi aques et ralentit
la progress ion du SIDA (De la Fuente et al, 2000; Droge, 1999; Faintush et al, 1999) .
Le NAC diminue le potentiel mutagénique de l'AD oxydé (Ma lins et al., 2002), et
peut augmenter l'expression de l' ARNm du p53 (Li u et al. , 1998). Enfin , le NAC
peut inhiber complètement l' apoptose induite par la fumée de cigarette au ni veau des
ce llules épithéli ales des alvéo les (Hoshino el al., 200 1 ).
1.1.4.2.2. Le 2-oxo-4-thiazolidine carboxylate (OTC)
L'OTC est converti intracellulairement en S-carboxy-L-cystéine à l' a ide de
l' enzyme 5-oxo-L-pro linase et ensuite décarboxylé spontanément pour libérer la L
cysté ine (Dizdar el al. , 2000) nécessai re pour la ynthèse du glutathi on (Rosenblat et
al, 2002). L'OTC augmente le taux de surv ie des patients atte ints de SIDA (O iry et
al. , 1999), protège les lymphocytes du sang (après expo ition au peroxyde
d' hyd rogène (Cors i et al., 1998) et protège les poumons de l' hyperoxie chez les rats
20
(Levy et al., 1998). Néanmoins, les effets bénéfiq ues de ces molécul es (NAC et OTC)
sont res tre ints "in vivo" par les grandes concentrat ion nécessaires pour avo ir des
effets biologiques, par leur métaboli sme extrace llula ire rapide et par la faible
concentrati on plasmique (Oi ry et al., 1999).
1.1.4.2.3. Le L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO)
Le L-BSO est un inhibiteur spécifique de la y-glutamylcystéine synthétase (GCS)
(G ri ffi th et Meister, 1979). JI est utili sé afi n de démontrer l' implication d ' un stress
oxydatif lors de l'étude de composés toxiques (Sak ura i et al. , 1998). Le BSO
augmente la susceptibilité à la mort cellulaire induit par plusieurs stress, tels que le
stress oxydat if (Przybytkowski et A veri 11 -Bates, 1996) , le choc thermique (Lord
Fontaine et Averiii-Bates, 1999 ; Mitchell et Ru s o, 1983) et des agents anticancéreux
(A nderson et al., 1997). Ce dernier inhibe la synthè e du GS H plutôt que la réserve
intracellulaire en GSH. Le 10 à 20% de G H restant dans la cellule suite à un
traitement avec le L-BSO se retrouve à l' intéri eur des mitochondries (A nderson,
1997). Ces dernières, ne pouvant pas synthéti er le GS H, l' importent à pa1iir du
cytosol. De ce fait, les cellules ayant subit un traitement avec le L-BSO s' avèrent être
plu sensibles face à une attaque de radicaux libres (A nderso n et al, 1999). Enfin, la
diminution du GSH réd uit l' act ivité enzymat ique de la gluthat ion péroxidase (F iohe
L, 1982 ; Lord-Fontaine et Averill , 1999; No mura et al., 1999).
La ce llule se dote d' un mécanisme de défen e très bien régulé impliquant des
protéases afin de s' autodétruire en cas de dérèg lement en faveur des dommages. Un
dérèg lement peut être causé par des substances toxiques tels qu e l' acrolé ine ou
l' acétaminophène et 1 ou la diminution des défenses ce llulaires. D' ailleurs, il est
connu que les dommages ce llulaires qui nui sent à la fo nction norm ale de la cellule
sont à l' ori gine de plusieurs cancers. Ainsi, si le dommages infligés à la ce llule par
les ERO sont plus importants que la défense ce llul aire, la ce llul e s·autodétruit par
apoptose ou meurt par nécrose.

1.2. MÉCANISMES DE MORT CELLULAIRE
1.2.1. Nécrose
La mort cel! u laire nécrotique est un processus pass if résu !tant d'une séquence
d'événements cellulaires et ti ssulaires, qui urvient à la suite de perturbati ons
profondes de l'env ironnement cellulaire. Elle se produit dans des conditions
pathologiques te lles que l'hypox ie sévère, la pri vat ion de glucose, le traumati sme, la
variati on de l'osmolarité, de la température de l'env ironnement, et du pH , ainsi qu'à
l'expos ition à des tox ines et des agents infecti eux. La nécrose conduit à une perte
cellulaire toujours secondaire à des conditions pathologiques (Choi et al ., 1999) et
elle se caractéri se de façon constante par une réaction inflammato ire.
Les anomali es morphologiques observées dans la nécrose résultent des
perturbati ons des fonctions cellulaires. A u ni veau de la ce llule, deux phénomènes
principaux conduisent irréversiblement à la mort de ce llules nécrotiques affectées :
la perte de l'intégrité membranaire et l'altérat ion des fo ncti ons mitochondriales. Un
des premiers événements est la rupture de la membrane pl asmique et donc la perte de
sa capac ité à réguler les gradients osmotiques et ioniques. Ce la engendre une entrée
mass ive d'eau accompagnée d'électrolytes, provoquant ainsi un gonflement de la
ce llule et une augmentation de la perméabilité aux molécules extrace llulaires. A insi
les morpho logies ce llulaires sont rapidement modi fiées et vont s'accompagner d'une
augmentati on du vo lume cellulaire, d'un gonflement des organites et du noyau.
Dans le cytoplasme, les organites commencent à dégénérer et de profondes
perturbations de l'acti v ité mitochondriale sont observées. La mitochondrie et le
réti culum endoplasmique se dilatent, des vacuoles intracytopl asmiques se forment et
les po lysomes se détachent du réticulum endoplasmique. L es organites
intracellulaires sont dispersés dans l'espace extrace llulaire. La structure nucléaire est
éga lement perturbée, le noyau est gonflé et la chromatine digérée par des protéases et
des endonucléases notamment des sérines protéases et ainsi l'A DN nucléa ire va être
22
dégradé de manière' aléatoire ' (Bicknell et Cohen, 1995 ; Dong el al., 1997) générant
des f ragments dépourvus d'extrémité 3' sortante.
La masse de ce llules nécrotiques peut se limi ter à une nécrose localisée, ou
évo luer vers une nécrose di ffuse qui résulte de l'acti on d'enzymes lysosomiales
déri vées de la ce llule elle-même (autolyse) ou de ce ll es vo isines (hétérolyse). La mort
ce llulaire par nécrose déclenche souvent une forte réaction inflammato ire loca le. Les
cellules nécrotiques lysées libèrent des substances dont les leucotri ènes qui sont
générés par la peroxydation des lipides membranaires, et des composants de la
mitochondrie activant le complément (Giclas et al. , 1979) qui ne sont pas encore
identifiés (Kagiyama et al., 1989). Ces substances indui sent une réacti on
inflammato ire typique de la nécrose (Kroemer et al, 1998) et les débris ce llulaires
sont alors phagocytés par les cellules immuni ta ires de l' inflammati on.
1.2.2. Apoptose
1.2.2.1. Introduction
La mort cellulaire programmée fait partie intégrante de la physiologie normale
d'un organisme. Ainsi au cours des nombreuses mitoses et di fférenciations cellu laires
qui permettront de créer un organisme à partir d'un œuf, il es t nécessa ire d'éliminer
continuellement les ce llules superflues ou potentiellement dangereuses. Ce
phénomène d'élimination sélective des ce llules est méd ié par un processus appelé
APOPTOSE. Le nom apoptose fait référence à la chute programmée des feuilles à
l'automne; apo pour éloignement et ptose pour chute. La not ion d'apoptose a été
introd uite en 1972 par K err et co ll. pour dés igner une form e de mort cellulaire
totalement différente de la nécrose, tant d'un point de vue morphologique que
biochimique. La nécrose était la seule forme de mort ce llul aire connue à cette époque.
L 'apoptose est une réponse hautement conservée des eucaryotes unice llulaires
jusqu'aux mammifères (M aarouf et al. , 1997 ; A mei en el al., 1995). L 'apoptose
surv ient naturellement au cours de l'embryogenèse, du renouve llement ti ssulaire et
23
lors du vieilli ssement. Cependant, elle peut éga lement se produire dans diverses
conditions pathologiques. De plus, un dysfoncti onnement de mécanismes régulateurs
de l'apoptose va donner lieu à de graves patholog ies. A insi, un défaut d'apoptose va
entraîner des syndromes proliférati fs assoc iés à un proce su de tumori sation, tout
part i cu 1 ièrement au niveau des ti ssus à renouve llement rapide comme le système
immunitaire ( lymphome, leucémie). A l'inverse, une acti vat ion anormale va donner
1 ieu à un phénomène de dégénérescence, comme ce la e t observé au cours de
nombreuses maladies neurodégénérati ves te lle que la maladie d'A lzheimer, la
maladie de Parkin son, ou la sc lérose latérale amyotrophique (Thompson, 1995).
L 'apoptose est considérée comme une mort cellulaire "ordonnée ", procédant
par di fférentes phases (Duva l! et Wy llie, 1986; Kerr et al., 1972). L 'un des points
morpho log iques caractéristiqu es de l'apoptose est l' importante condensation à la fo is
du noyau et du cytoplasme ce qui induit une diminution signifi cative du vo lume
ce llulaire. Ensuite, l 'ADN est clivée en f ragments réguliers d'environ 180 paires de
base ( Wy llie et al. , 1984) . La membrane plasmique va bourgeonner et conduire à la
formation de corps apoptotiques renferm ant une part ie du cytoplasme de la ce llule.
Afin de fac iliter la reconnaissance des corps apoptot iques par les phagocytes, la
ce llule va signaler son état apoptotique à son env ironnement notamment grâce au
changement de locali sation des molécules de phosphatidy lsérine qui passent d'une
ori entati on cy toplasmique vers une orientati on ex trace ll ula ire. L 'un des points
majeurs de l'apoptose est que l'intégri té de la membrane plasmique n'est j amais
altérée au cours du processus, ce qui permet d'éviter tout déversement du contenu
ce llulaire et ainsi prévenir tout dommage infligé aux ti ssu avo isinant. Toutefo is, l'on
peut noter que l'inflammation n'est pas nécessairement totalement absente durant
l'apoptose, en raison du relargage de l' interl eukine-! et -1 8 dans l'environnement,
mais il s'ag it d'une inflammation régulée.
24
1.2.2.2. Voies de signalisation de l'apoptose
De nombreux signaux très di ffé rent , phys io logiques ou patholog iques,
in tracellula ires ou extrace llul aires, peuvent déc lencher l'apoptose. Les dommages
cellulaires, te ls que les agents cytotox iques, les rad iations ioni santes et les chocs
thermiques, induisent des signaux apoptotiques. L'apoptose peut être induite, par
exemple, par la carence en facteurs de croissance et par certa ins récepteurs nucléaires
(récepteurs aux glucocorticoïdes) acti vés par leur li ga nd . T rois vo ies princ ipales
peuvent être décrites dans l'inducti on de l' apopto e: l' acti vation des récepteurs
membranaires de "mort", comm e le récepteur a socié au fibroblaste (FasR) ou le
récepteur du facteur de nécrose tumorale (TNF-R), l' act ivat ion de la vo ie
mitochondriale et cell e de la vo ie du réti culum endoplasmique. Les s ignaux vont être
in tégrés par la cellule et de nombreuses vo ies de s ignali sat ion vo nt être ainsi acti vées
abouti ssant à l'activat ion des caspases
1.2.2.2.1. La voie des récepteurs
De nombreux stimuli tels que la radiati on et des agents chimiothérapeutiques
sont capables d'indu ire l'apoptose. Toutefo i i 1 ex iste un e fa m i li e de récepteurs
spéc iali sés dans l'induction de la mort cellulaire programmée: les récepteurs de mort.
Une fo is stimulés par leurs ligands, ces récepteurs induisent l'act ivati on des caspases
(Lo ngth orne et Williams, 1997). Cette vo ie d'acti vation est impliquée dans
l'é limination des ce llules potentie llement dangereuses pour l'organi sme et notamment
les lymphocytes autoréacti fs. Les récepteurs de mort appartiennent à la famille du
récepteur du facteur de nécrose tum orale (TNF-R) (Nagata, 1997). Les TNF-R
peuvent promouvo ir, selon le contexte ce llul ai re, soit la survie, so it la mort. Par
exemple, les récepteurs CD27 (Camerini el al., 199 1) et CD30 (Durkop et al., 1992)
sont impliqués dans la survie cellulaire. Parmi les membres de la fa mille impliquée
dans la mort ce llulaire, il convient de c iter Fas (Oehm et al. , 1992) . L' in te raction du
récepteur Fas à son ligand (FasR/FasL) , au même titre que cell e du
25
granzymeB/perforine joue un rôle prépondérant dans la cytotox icité des lymphocytes
T (L Tc) du système immunitaire. Ces deux méca ni smes coopèrent pour permettre
l'élim ination de la ce llule cible par un processus d'apoptose (Cohen, 199 1; Go lste in et
al. , 199 1 ). Au cours de la réponse immunitaire, le récepteur Fas va éga lement être
impliqué dans l'éliminati on des cellules infectées pa r des virus ou des paras ites, ou
des ce llules tumorales . Bien que l'express ion et le rôle de la protéine Fas dans le
système nerveux ne so ient pas c lairement déft ni s, ell e a été impliquée au cours de
patholog ies neurodégénérati ves te ll es que l'i schémi e ou la malad ie d'Alzheimer.
Ce paragraphe décrira surtout le méca ni sme d'activat ion du récepteur Fa . Une
fo is stimulé par son ligand spéc ifi que (FasL), le récepteur Fas se triméri se et recrute
une proté ine adaptatrice, la protéine assoc iée au Fas avec un domaine de mort
(FA DO) (Chinnaiyan et al. , 1995) (F igure 1.8). Le FA DO présente la parti cul ar ité de
posséder, en plus de son domaine de mort ce llulaire (DD), un domaine effecteur de
mort cellulaire (DED). Le DED est nécessa ire et suffisa nt pour induire l'apoptose.
Dans certa ines conditions, le TNF-R 1 rec ru te éga lement F AD D. Ce coupl age est
cependant indi rect et se fa it par l'interm édiaire d'une protéi ne comportant un DD, la
protéine assoc iée au TNF-R 1 avec un domaine de mort (TRA DD) (Hsu et al., 1995)
(F igure 1.8). En définiti ve le FA DO représente le po int de convergence des vo ies de
signalisati on induites par Fas ou TNF-R 1. Par la suite, le FA DO peut recruter la
procaspase-8 (Boldin et al., 1996; Fernandes-A lnemri el al. , 1996) ou la procaspase-
10 (Vincenz et Dixit, 1997) par l'interm édi aire de ces DEDs et ainsi ini tier la cascade
apoptotique (F igure 1.9) (Hirata el al., 1998). La procaspase-8 sera c li vée en caspase-
8, qui acti vera ensuite les caspases effectrices -3, -6 et -7. Ce caspases effectri ces
c li veront leurs substrats correspondants dont l' inh ib iteur de I'ADNase caspase
dépendant (I CA D) et entraîneront la mort par apoptose (Los et al. , 1999) . Cette
signalisa ti on est vraie auss i pour la procaspase-1 0 (Los el al., 1999) .
Le TRADD peut auss i interagir avec le DD de "receptor in teract ing protein "
(R1P) (Hsu et al. , 1996a) (F igure 1.8), une serine/thréonine kinase qui peut induire,
26
selon les circonstances, soit l'activation de NF-KB soit l'apoptose (Hsu et al., 1996a).
Le RIP interagit avec la protéine associée au RIP par un DD (RAIDD) (Duan et Dixit,
1997) qui lui-même lie directement la procaspase-2 mais pas avec les caspases 1, 3, 4,
6, 7 ou 9 (Duan et Dixit, 1997) (Figure 1.8). La caspase-2 activera ensuite la caspase-
3 effectrice et conduira à l' apoptose (Tyagi et al. , 2006).

L'activation des caspases initiatrices -8 et -9 entraîne l'activation des caspases effectrices -3 , -6 et -7 qui cliveront leurs substrats correspondants pour emmener la mort par apoptose.

1.2.2.2.2. La voie mitochondriale
1.2.2.2.2.1 Mitochondrie, potentiel membt·anait·e et libération du cytochrome-c
La mitochondrie j oue un rô le c lé dans la régula ti on de l'a po ptose (Brenner et
al , 1998; Kroemer, 1997). Cette vo ie est acti vée par de multipl es stimuli notamment
le c hoc the rmique, la radiation, l' hypoxie, la pri vat ion en sérum et en facteurs de
cro issance, et par des agents chimiothérapeutiques co mm e l'étopos ide. Ces fac teurs
causent un déba lancement entre les fac te ur anti-apoptot ique et les facte urs pro
apoptiques en fave ur de ces derniers (W il son, 1999). En effet, la phase effectri ce de
l'apoptose comporte la diminution du po tent ie l membrana ire (il 'Pm) qui pe rm et
l'ouverture des pores de transition de perméab ilité (PT P) spécia li sés (Vander 1-I e iden
et aL. , 1997) e t la libération de molécul es a poptogènes de l' espace intermembrana ire
vers le cytopl asme (F igure 1.9, 1. 1 0, 1. 11 ) (Kohler et al., 2002 ; Kluck et aL., 1997;
Yang et al. , 1997). Ces mo lécules sont le cytochrome-c (Cyt-c), le facteur inducteur
d ' apoptose (A IF) (F igure 1. 10), l' acti va teur mi tochond ri a l des caspases ( mac)
(F igure 1. 11 ) et les proté ines de choc th ermiqu e, HSP 10 e t HSP60. Dans un
compl exe appe lé "apoptosome", le cy t-c se li e au fac teur act ivateur de protéase
d ' apoptose (A paf) afin d ' acti ver la procaspase-9. Deux mo lécul es de procaspase-9
c li vées se 1 ient ensemble pour fo rme r la caspase-9 acti ve (F igure 1.9). La caspase-9
ac ti vera ensuite les caspases effectrices -3, -6 e t -7. Ces caspases effectri ces c li veront
le urs substrats correspondants dont 1' 1 CAO et entraîneront la mort par a poptose (Los
et al. , 1999). Cette phase de libérati on des fac teur pro-apoptotiques de la
mitochondrie est sous le contrô le des me mbre de la fa mill e Bc l-2 (F igure 1. 1 0).
A in s i, Bc l-2 et Be l-XL sont capables de bloquer la sortie du cyt-c dans le cytoplasme
(Kluck et al., 1997; Vander He iden et al. , 1997), a lors que les proté ines pro
apoptotiques te lles que Bax et Bak peuvent l'induire (Jurgensme ier et al. , 1998).

Figure 1.10: La régulation de l' apoptose au niveau de la mitochondrie. Cette organite joue un rôle important durant l' apoptose. Les membres anti-apoptotiques de la famille Bcl2, tels que Bcl-2 et Bel-XL, inhibent la mort cellulaire au niveau mitochondrial en maintenant la fonction physiologique de l'organite normale et en prévenant la libération du cytochrome-c et du facteur inducteur d'apoptose (AIF). Mais, les protéines pro-apoptotiques telles que Bax stimulent l' apoptose. Un des canaux libérant le cyt-c et l' AIF est formé de plusieurs protéines dont le canal ionique voltage-dépendant (VDAC), le translocateur d'adénine (ANT), la cyclophiline D (CD), la créatinine kinase (CK) et l' hexokinase (HK) (Bortner et Cidlowski, 2002).

Il est admis que la libération du cytochrome c ainsi que la perte du ~'Pm induite
par Bax/Bak peuvent être régulées par le PT P. Le pore PT P est un canal oligo
protéique constitué au niveau de la membrane ex terne de la mitochondrie par la
porine VDAC, sur la membrane interne par I'ANT et d'une protéine matri cielle la
cyc loph i 1 ine D (CD) (F igure 1. 1 0) (Kroemer el al., 1998). De pl us, i 1 a été montré
que Bax pouva it interagir avec VDAC (Nari ta et al., 1998 ; himizu el al., 1999) et
ANT (M arzo et al. , 1998; Shimizu el al. , 1999). Il semble que Bax/Bak puissent
induire so it un changement de conformati on du canal V DAC afin de former un pore
perm ettant le passage des di fférentes molécules apoptogènes, so it interagir
directement avec VDAC et participer ainsi à agrandir le pore.
Il semble que la mitochondrie j oue le rôle d' in tégrateur de · di fférents ignaux
et qu'une fo is le seuil atteint, la totalité du cyt-c e t li bérée en une seule étape.
Toutefo is toutes les mitochondries d'une même cellule ne vont pas être parfa itement
synchronisées. Tout récemment, l'inva lidati on du gène codant pour le cytochrome ca
confirmé l'importance cruciale de cette protéine dans l'apoptose (L i el al., 2000). Les
cellules Cyt c-l- provenant d' un embryon de souris ne peuvent pas induire l'activation
de la caspase-3 en réponse à différents stimuli pro-apoptotiques. Enfin, les ce llules
Cyt c-l- sont rés istantes à l'apoptose indui te par le U.V. ou l'étopos ide et très peu
sensibles aux effets pro-apoptotiques de la pri vati on en facteur de croissance ou de la
staurosporine (Li et al., 2000). De plus, A paf-1 reste sous form e monomérique dans
des conditions où l'apoptosome devrait se former. Cec i implique qu 'aucune autre
protéine cellulaire ne pui sse remplacer le Cyt c pour l'o ligoméri sati on d'Apaf-1 et
pour l'acti vation de la caspase-3 induite par un tress ce llulaire ou par un agent ciblant
la 111 itochondrie.
Le facteur A IF est auss i une des molécules apoptogènes libérées de la
mi tochondrie. L' A IF transloque au noyau, condense la chromatine et fragmente
l ' A DN, indépendamment des cascades impliquant les caspases. (S u in el al., 1999).
32
Durant l'apoptose, la proté ine SMAC qui est un inhibi teur des lAPs est libérée
de la mitochondrie, afin de potenti a liser l' apopto e. Enfin , la relâche de Smac est
inhibée à l' aide du Bci-2/Bcl-XL (MacFarl ane eL al .. 2002).
L'activation des caspase induite pa r le cytochrome c cytoso lique assoc ié à
Apaf-1 , ou l'apoptose induite par les récepteurs de mort, ne sont pas des mécani smes
tota lement indépendants (F igure 1.9). En effet, un nouvea u membre pro-apoptotique
de la famill e Bcl2, la protéine Bid (Wang et al., 1996), permet de fai re le lien entre
les récepteurs de mort et la libération du cytochrome c de la mitochondri e. Le Bid est
directement c li vé par la caspase 8 et le fragment C-tenninal prod uit transloque à la
mitochondri e et permet la libération du cytochrome c (F igure 1. 9) (L i el al., 1998 ;
Luo et al., 1998) .
1.2.2.2.2.2 La famille de Bcl-2
Les protéines de la fami ll e Bcl-2 jouent un rôle majeur dans la régul at ion des
caspases et plus généralement de l'apoptose . Si l'on se réfère à leurs fo ncti ons
bio logiques, on peut c lasser les membres de la fa mille Bc l-2 en deux sous-famill es,
les membres anti-apoptotiques te ls que Bc l-2, mais auss i Be l-XL (Bo ise et Thompson,
1997), Bc l-w (G ibson et al., 1996), BAR (Zhang el al., 2000) et les membres pro
apoptotiques comme Bax (Oitva i el al. , 1993), Bak (Chinenden et al. , 1995;), Bel XS
(Bo ise et Thompson, 1997), Bad, Bid (Yang et al., 1996) et Bim (O'Connor et al.,
1998). Cene fa mille se caractérise par la présence de domaines homologues à Bcl-2
1 à 4 (B H 1 à 4) (Kelekar et Thompson, 1998) . La di strib ution de ces doma ines
permet de regrouper cette fam ille en trois classes, la classe contenant BI-l l à BH4, la
c lasse contenant BH 1 à BH 3 et la classe contena nt seulement B!-13 (F igure 1.12).
Il semblerait que la balance entre la vie et la mort cellula ire soit influencée par
le type et la proporti on de dimères anti - ou pro-apoptotique fo rmés (O itva i et
Ko rsmeyer, 1994; Sedlak el al., 1995). Ainsi par exemple, lorsque Bax est
préférentiellement exprimé, des homodimères Bax-Bax se fo rmeront et condu iront à
33
la mort ce llulaire. En revanche, si c'est Bcl-2 qui est majoritairement exprimée, alors
il y aura survie ce llulaire. Cependant un arti cle récent semble indiquer que, pour de
raisons structurales, des homodimères Bcl-2 ne pourraient pas se fo rmer et que Bc l-2
jouerait son rôle anti-apoptotique sous forme monomériqu e (Conus et al., 2000) .
Les membres ne comportant qu'un domaine B l-1 3, comme Bid, ne peuvent pas
former des homodimères et ne possèdent pas d'act iv ité intrinsèque. En fa it, il s
exerceraient leur rô le pro-apoptot ique en formant des dimères avec des membres anti
apoptotiques réduisant ainsi la capacité de ceux-c i à exercer leurs effets protecteurs et
dans le même temps favoriseraient la const itution de dimères pro-apoptotiq ues
(Ke lekar et al. , 1997; Sattler et al., 1997).

1.2.2.2.3. La voie du réticulum endoplasmique
La vo ie du réticulum endoplasmique est la tro isième vo1e d ' inducti on
d'apoptose nouve llement identifiée. Cette vo ie e t in duite suite à l'accumulati on
excess ive de protéines nouvellement synthéti sées et qui sont mal repliées
(Kadowaki et al., 2004) . Cette voie acti ve principalement la caspase-1 2 initiatrice
qui acti vera à son tour la caspase-9 (Kadowaki et al., 2004). La caspase-7 et la
ca lpaine qui est activée par le calcium sont auss i impliquées dans l'activation de la
caspase-1 2 et l'exécution de l'apoptose par cette vo ie (Szegezdi et al. , 2003)
(F igure 1 .13).

Trois voies majeurs d ' induction de l'apoptose par la voie du RE ont été rapportées: (1) la voie caspase-12-dépendante; (2) la voie de la kinase régulatrice du signal apoptotique et de la kinase c-jun (ASK/JNK), qui induisent la libération du cyt-c de la mitochondrie et l' activation de la caspase-9; (3) la voie Bap31/caspase-8 qui induit aussi la libération du cyt-c de la mitochondrie et l' activation de la caspase-9 (Momoi, 2004).
1.2.2.3. Les caspases
1.2.2.3.1. Nomenclature
36
Une nouvelle nomenclature proposée par A 1 nemri et al. ( 1 996) regroupe
désormais les protéases apoptogènes sous le nom de A PASE. Le C repré ente la
cystéine du site actif (QAÇxG) et ASPA SE définit la spécificité stricte de c livage des
substrats de cette famille de protéases après un ac ide aspartique (F igure 1. 14a). À ce
jour 14 caspases ont été identifiées, mais i 1 ne fait aucun doute que cette 1 iste n'est pas
exhaustive. Notons qu 'on a classé les caspases sou trois groupes: il y a les caspases
initi atrices (2, 8, 9, I 0, 12), les caspases effectrices (3 , 6, 7) et les caspases impliqués
dans l' inflammation (1 , 4, 5, 1 I , 13) (F igure 1.14b) . Enfin on a la caspase- 14 qui est
impliquée dans la différenciation des kératinocyte (Ko hler el al., 2002).
1.2.2.3.2. Structure des caspases
Toutes les caspases ont une structure très conservée comprenant un
prodomaine N-terminal de ta ill e variable, un domaine qui deviendra après c livage la
grande sous-unité ( 17-21 k.Da) qui porte le s ite act if et un domaine qui deviendra
après clivage la petite sous-unité ( 10-1 4 k.Da) (F igure 1.1 4a). Certains membres de la
fami lle des caspases possèdent un domaine de li aiso n entre la grande et la petite sous
unité. Les prodomaines sont vari ables, à la fo is dans leur ta ille et dans leur séquence.
A insi les caspases -3, -6 et -7 ont un pet it prodomaine alors que les caspases -1 -2, -
4, -5, -8, -9, -10, -Il , -1 2 et -1 3 possèdent un grand prodomaine. Les caspases à petits
prodomaines sont souvent regroupées sous le nom de caspases effectrices. Ces
caspases sont act ivées par des caspases dites initiatri ces . Les prodomaines semblent
jouer un rô le dans les interactions proté ines-proté ine . Ainsi les prodomaines des
caspases -8 et -1 0 contiennent des DEDs qui sont des structures permettant la 1 iaiso n
de la caspase aux molécul es adaptatrices FADO (Bo ldin er al. , 1995 ; Chinnaiya n et
al. , 1995) ou TRADD (Hsu et al., 1995). Certai nes autres caspases (caspases -1 , -2, -
4 et -9) possèdent un domaine de recrutement des caspases (ou "caspase recru itment
37
domain": CARD) (Hofmann et al. , 1997). Ces domaines CARDs jouent un rôle dans
l'interaction entre caspases ainsi qu'avec une grande variété de molécules adaptatrices
ou régulatrices.

38
1.2.2.3.3. Activation des caspases
La conversion de la caspase à l 'état de zymogène en une enzyme mature
nécess ite au moins deux clivages au ni veau de lien A p-X. Ce cli vages success ifs
ont lieu de manière séquentielle : tout d'abord coupure entre la grande et la petite
sous-unité (donc il y a libération de la petite sous-uni té du reste de la molécule) sui v ie
par la libérati on du prodomaine (F igure 1.1 4a). Le caspa es vont pouvo ir s'auto
act iver et/ou être acti vées par d'autres caspases. Ce derni er concept introduit la noti on
de cascade d'acti vat ion. A insi une fois les caspases initiatri ces acti vées, elles vont
pouvo ir cli ver d'autres caspases encore à l'état de zymogène, notamment les ca pases
effectrices -3, -6 et -7. Ce type d'activat ion en cascade perm et probablement la
régulati on et l'amplification du signal apoptoti que.
1.2.2.3.4. Les substrats des caspases
Le rôle des caspases est principalement exécuti f. Elles vont acti ver des
molécules qui partic iperont à la destruction ce llulaire. Le caspases sont des enzymes
extrêmement sé lecti ves. Les substrats cli vés par les caspases comprennent des
protéines du cytosquelette (a-fodrine, actine, ge lsoline) (V ill a et al., 1998), nucléa ires
( lamines), ainsi que des protéines impliquées dans la réparati on de l'ADN comme la
poly A DP-ribose polymérase (PA RP) (Sa lvesen et D ix it, 1997; Germ ain et at. , 1999)
et la suppress ion tumorale comme la rét inoblastome (Rb) (Chang et Y ang, 2000). De
plus, des protéines impliquées dans la transducti on du signal, dans l'express ion de
gènes, dans la régulati on du cyc le ce llulaire (p27K ip 1 ), dans les maladies génétiques
ou des protéines de régulation de l'apopto e ( ICAD) ont auss i des substrats des
caspases. Notons que le complexe ICAD/CAD, une fo is cli vé, libère la protéase CAD
qui entre dans le noyau pour condenser la chromatine et rragmenter l ' A DN (Chang et
Yang, 2000).
39
1.2.2.3.5. Régulation des caspases
Etant donné les effets dévastateur que pourra it avo ir une acti vati on
inappropriée des caspases, il n'est pas surprenant que cette étape soit étro itement
modul ée. En fa it, non seulement l' acti vation, mais auss i l'acti vité et la production des
caspases, sont régulées à plusieurs niveau x. La cas1 ase-3, par exemple, est fortement
exprimée dans de nombreuses cellules lymphoïdes et myé loïdes matures a lors qu 'ell e
n'est que fa ibl ement présente dans l'épithélium mammaire et dans les neurones
normaux (Krajewska et al., 1997) .
La p35 , qui est une des protéines de bacul ov irus, possède un large spectre
d ' inhibition, en inhibant à la fois les caspases initiatri ces et effectrices (Figure 1.15)
(Bortn er et Cidlowski , 2002).
La cytokine modifi ant la réponse (Crm A) est issue d'un gène précoce du virus
cowpox. Sa surexpress ion permet d'inhiber l'a popto e induite par la pri vation en
facteurs de croissance et par le CD95 (o u récepteur Fas) ou le TN F (Figure 1. 15)
(Tewari et Dixit, 1995; Gagliardini el al., 1994). La Crm A inhibe l'activité
protéo lytique des caspases -2 et -8 (Bortner et Cidlowsk i, 2002). Ces deux proté ines
virales (Crm A et p35) sont des inhibiteurs compétiti fs. Une fo is clivées par une
caspase, elles vont se lier à ces enzymes et ain i empêcher la dégradati on de
nouveaux substrats (Komiyama et al. , 1994; Bump el al., 1995).
La stimulati on des récepteurs de mort va conduire au recrutement de
molécules adaptatri ces puis au cl iv age de la fo rme zymogène de caspases initiatri ces
( caspases -8 et -1 0) et à l'activation des ca pa ses effectri ces. Cette étape de
recrutement peut être régulée par une protéine inhibitri ce de la caspase-8 (FUP)
(Ra per et al., 1998; lrmler et a l. , 1997) .
Les baculov irus possèdent une autre proté in e capable d'inhiber l'apoptose:
l' inhibiteur de proté ine apoptotique ( IAP). Au moins 5 homologues ont été identifi és
chez les mammifères . Il s'agit de NA IP, de XIAP et de la survivine (Li ston et al. ,
1996), de c lAP-I , et de clAP-2 (Rothe el al., 1995). L'effet protecteur des lAPs est dCt
40
à leur capacité d' inhiber l'acti vation et donc l'acti vité de certa ines caspases. Ainsi,
XIAP, c lAP-I et ciAP-2 inhibent les caspases 3, 7 et 9 mais pas les caspases 1, 6 et 8
(Deveraux et al., 1997-1 999; Roy et al. , 1997 ; Sun et al., 2000 ; Takahashi et al. ,
1998). La NA IP, pour sa part, est incapable d'inhiber les caspases 1, 3, 6, 7 ou 8 (Roy
et al. , 1997). Les lAPs, à l'exception de la survivine, sont caractéri sées par 3
domain es de répétiti on de JAP de la bacul ov iru (B IR) da ns leur part ie N-terminale et
un domain e d'interaction protéine-proté ine contenant un atome de zinc dans leur
parti e C-terminale. La survivine ne contient que les domain es B!Rs et la plupart des
carc in omes humains la surexpriment ce qui a comme conséquence la survie et la
croissance des ce llules tumorales (Choi et al., 2003). De plus, il semble que clAP-I et
c iAP-2 puissent se lier au facteur assoc ié au TNF-R 1 et 2 (TRA F-1 et 2) grâce à leur
motif BIR (Rothe et al., 1 995 ; Roy et al. , 1997). Cec i implique que les elAPs, ainsi
que les vlAPs (Vucic et al., 1998), puissent exercer des effets inhibiteurs sur
l'acti vati on des caspases en aval des récepteurs de mort (Wang C.Y. et al. , 1998). Par
a ill eurs clAP-I , ciAP-2 et XJAP ont été décrites comme des inducteurs de l'activation
deN F-KB (Chu et al., 1997). Cec i pourra it notamment contribuer à l'effet protecteur
de N F-KB sur l'apoptose induite par le TNF-u (You et al. , 1997; Stehli k et al., 1998 ;
Wang C. Y. et al., 1 998).

Figure 1.15: Inhibition de l'apoptose au niveau des caspases. Les IAP inhibent la caspase-9 (initiatrice) et les caspases -3 et -7 (effectrices). De plus, les ciAP-1 et ciAP-2 se lient au facteur associé au TNF-R 1 et 2 (TRAF-1 et 2) grâce à leur motif BIR (Rothe et al. , 1995; Roy et al. , 1997). Ceci implique que les elAPs puissent exercer des effets inhibiteurs sur l'activation des caspases en aval des récepteurs de mort (Wang C. Y. et al. , 1998). CrmA est un inhjbiteur des caspases initiatrices (caspase- 2 et -8), avec toutefois une capacité limitée d' inhiber les caspases effectrices. Un inhibiteur spécifique de la caspase-8 a été identifié et nommé "FLICEinhibitory proteins" (FLIP) qui inhibe l'apoptose en se complexant avec le complexe inducteur de signal de mort (DI SC) qui regroupe le récepteur de mort, le F ADD et la procaspase-8 (aussi nommé FLICE). Enfin, le p35 isolé du baculovirus possède un large spectre d' inhibition, en inhibant à la fois les caspases initiatrices et effectrices (Bortner et Cidlowski, 2002).
1.3. LES VOIES DE SIGNALISATION DES MAPK, ASKI, AKT ETP53
1.3.1. Les voies de signalisation d'apoptose médiées par MAPK et ASKI
42
Il ex iste deux vo ies di stinctes de s ignalisati on de l' apoptose à partir du
domaine intrace llulaire du récepteur Fas : la première vo ie est ce lle qu 'on a
développée à la section de la vo ie des récepteurs (sect ion 2-2-2.1) et qui implique la
cascade des protéines adaptatrices qui interag issent via des domaines d ' homologie, et
qui finalement communiquent le message aux caspases (F igures 1.8 et 1.9) ; la
deuxième implique, quant à elle, une cascade de protéines kinases . La cascade des
protéines kinases activées par les mitogènes (MA PK) est multifonctionnelle et a été
conservée durant l' évo lution (Takeda el al., 2003) . Il y a tro is différentes cascades qui
convergent vers la kinase régulée par des stimuli extracellula ires (ERK), la kinase du
terminus-N de c-jun (JNK) ou la p38 MAP kinase (F igure 1. 16). Ces MAPK sont
régulées par différents stimuli (Pearson et al. , 200 1; Kyriakis et A vruch, 200 1 ).
Souvent, la vo ie ERK est connue comme étant anti-apoptotique et de survie et
ell e est act ivée par des facteurs de croissance (Lee er al., 2006; Park et al. , 2003)
tandi s que les vo ies de JNK et de la p38 MAP kinases sont connues comme étant pro
apoptotiques (Sarker et al. , 2003 ; Assefa et al. , 2000). Les JNK et p38 sont activées
par le facteur de nécrose tumorale (TNF-a), le peroxyded ' hyd rogène, les rayons UV,
les rayons X, le choc thermique et la pri vat ion de sérum et de fac teurs de croissance
qui entraînent l' activation de la protéine kinase régul atri ce du signal apoptotiq ue
(ASK I) (F igure 1.16) (Takeda el al., 2003 ; Rain gea ud et al. , 1995; Xia et al. , 1995 ;
Kyri aki s et Avruch, 1996; Verheij et al., 1996). Les JNK et p38 MAPK induisent la
translocation de Bax vers la mitochondrie et la libérat ion du cytochrome-c (Tsuruta et
al,. 2004; Park el al., 2003) activant de ce fa it la voie mitochondria le, tandis que ERK
inhibe l' activité de la caspase-8 (Park et al., 2003) , inhibant ainsi l'apoptose. En plus,
la p38 peut phosphoryler le facteur pro-apoptotique p53 aux serines -1 5, -37 et -46, et

Figure 1.16: Signa li sation des différentes MAPKs, ERK, JNK et p38 . Suite à une stimulation par un facteu r de croissance, la MAPK kinase kinase (MAPKKk) Raf active la MAPKK, MEK 1 et 2, qui acti ve ERK pour induire la survie ce llulaire. Cependant, une stimulation par un li gand Fas, un ligand TNF, un stress oxydatif ou un stress du RE activera la MAPKKK ASK 1 qui activera à son tour des MAPKK qui activeront la JNK et la p38. Cette cascade emmène l"a poptose de la ce llule (Takeda et al., 2003) .
44
Notons que la phosphorylation à la sérine 46 es t spéc ifique à la p38 MAPK (B ulavin
et al., 1999) . Le facteur de croissance ép id ennale (EGF) pourrait protéger les cellules
de l'apoptose en act ivant la vo ie des ERK 1/2 et en s'o pposant à la vo ie de la p38
MAPK (Kanasak i et al. , 2000).
Des effets contradi cto ires ont été rapportés pour ces di ffé rentes MAPK. La
p38 MAPK peut intervenir dans les mécanismes de surv ie ce llulaire. En effet,
l' hormone stimulante des fo lli cu les (FSH) induit la survie et l'arrondi ssement des
ce llules de granulosa de rat (Maizels et al., 1998). Dans ce cas, la FSH induit la
phosphorylation de la p38 MAPK, via la protéine kinase A (PKA) . La
phosphorylat ion de la p38 MAPK induit la phosphory lati on de la protéine HSP-27
qui induit la réorgani sation des filaments d'actin e et leur stabilité (Huot et al. , 1 997).
Une récente étude a auss i démontré que la proté in e - RK peut être impliquée dans la
mort ce llul aire des kératinocytes humains malins expo ées aux chélateurs de fer (Lee
et al., 2006) . La voie JNK peut auss i être impliquée dans la survie cellul aire des
macrophages (Himes et al. , 2006) contra irement à on caractère apoptogène discuté
plus haut.
Une importante MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) du stress apoptotique,
la kinase régulatr ice du s ignal apoptot ique (ASK 1) a été identifi ée. Elle active les
deux voies de signali sation JNK et p38 (lchij o el al. , 1997) (F igures 1.1 6, 1.17). La
surexpress ion de ASK l dans des cellules épithéliales incubées avec très peu de sérum
induisa it la mort cellulaire par apoptose. Tandi s que la surexpression du mutant
ASKl , ASK I-K709R, rédu isait s ignificativement l' apoptose induite par le récepteur
TNF-a. Cec i suggère que ASKI joue un rôle majeur dans l' induction de l'apoptose
par les cytokines ou par différents stress (lchijo et al., 1997; Tobi ume et al. , 1997).
45
Figure 1.17: Voies de signalisation d' apoptose impliquant p53 et ASKI. (1. Curtin et Cotter, 2003; 2. Takeda et al. , 2003: 3. Bras et al., 2005; 4. Tsuruta et al. , 2004; 5. Bulavin et al. , 1999). Les deux voies de signalisation des récepteurs de mort passant par FasR et TNFR convergent à l' activation de ASK 1. En plus, les espèces réactives de l' oxygène (EOR) peuvent entraîner l'activation de ASKl. Ensuite, ASKI active les deux voies JNK et p38 qui sont impliquées dans la transcription des gènes des protéines apoptotiques dont Bax, Bim, le ligand Fas et le récepteur Fas. D'autre part, p53 qui est induite suite aux dommages infligés à l'ADN par des composés toxiques tel que l' acroléine joue un rôle important dans la transcription du Bax, Bim, ligand Fas et du récepteur Fas.
46
1.3.2. La voie de survie AKT
L' AKT est une protéine pro-oncogène et qui est activée par la
phosphoinos itide-3 kinase (P13K) et cec i par phosphory lation. L'activati on de la
protéine AKT est impliquée dans la croissance et la survie ce llula ire et l' inhibition de
l' apoptose (Asse! in et al. , 2001 ; Down ward , 1998). L 'A KT inhibe l'apoptose en
phosphory lant plusieurs protéines c ibl es dont la protéine pro-apoptotique Bad. Ce
fa isant, la protéine Bad sera reconnue par la protéine 14-3-3 qui induit sa dégradati on
et ainsi enl ève l' inhibition de Bad sur la proté ine anti-apopto tique Bel-XL (Sarker et
al., 2003; Franke et al. , 1997; Bellacosa et al., 1998). Ain s i, l' inhibition de AKT
induit la mort par apoptose chez les cellules cancéreuses.
1.3.3. Le facteur de transcription p53 et son rôle dans l'apoptose
p53 est le facteur de transcription le plus étudié. Il est étroitement re lié à
l' arrêt du cycle ce llulaire et l' apoptose en réponse aux stress cellulaires comme les
dommages de l'A DN (Evan et Littlewood, 1998). Il a été décrit la premi ère fois en
1979 et il est le premier gène suppresseur de tumeur à être identifié. La princ ipa le
fo ncti on du p5 3 est l'élimination des ce llules en proli fé rat ion anormale pour prévenir
le déve loppement néoplas ique. Une dérégul at ion de la fo ncti o n du p53 est retrouvée
dans la grande majorité des tumeurs humaines.
Des dommages à l' ADN , une forte augmentat ion d'A M Pc ou des radi ations
UV induisent la phosphorylation de la proté ine p53 et de ce fa it son acti vation
(A msterdam et al., 1996; 1997) (F igure 1.17). Au ni veau de l' ADN, il est bien établi
que la protéine p53, suppresseur de tumeurs, joue un rôle essentie l dans la réponse
suite à des cassures doubl e-brins, en modul ant l' express ion de certains gènes. Le
fac teur de transcription p53 induit la transcription de plus ieurs gènes qui sont
impliqués dans sa régul ation négative te ll e que la murine do uble minute (MDM 2),
dans le contrôle de la réplication et de la réparat ion de l' ADN te ll e que la proté ine
induite par les dommages à l'A DN et arrêtant la croissance (GA DD45), transactive
47
des proté in es impliquées dans l'arrêt du cyc le ce llul aire (p2 1 ), qui inhibent les kinases
cyc lines-dépendantes et provoque alors l'arrêt en G 1 (Tokin o et Nakamura, 2000).
D'autres gènes sont c iblés par le p53 dont ceux impliqués dans l' inhibition de
l' angiogénèse (la thrombospondine) et dans l' induction de l'apoptose (Bax) (Tokin o
et Nakamura, 2000). La p53 active la transcripti on de Bax (F igure 1.17), qui induit la
sortie de cyt-c des mitochondries. Le cyt-c ainsi libéré va acti ver les cascades de
caspases et induire l'apoptose (Levine, 1997; Li et al., 2000). La p5 3 peut auss i
activer la transcription du récepteur Fas et inhi ber ce lle des protéines anti
apoptotiques telles que Bcl-2 et les lAPs (Curtin et Cotter, 2003).
Il y a trois principaux régul ateurs de la p53 , la proté ine mutée d ' atax ia
te lang iectas ia (ATM), la protéine s imilaire à Rad3 (ATR) et la kinase DNA
dépendante (DN A-PK) (Zhu et Zhang, 2003). Le ATM, ATR et DN A-PK qui
appartiennent à des cascades di stinctes phosphorylent la p53 (F igure 1. 18) (Baatout et
al., 2002; Abraham, 2001 ) pour inhiber sa dégradati on par la Mdm2 et ainsi
prolonger son effet anti -prolifératif. Les ATM , A TR et DNA-PK appartiennent à la
famill e des phosphoinositides 3-kinase-related kinases (PIKK). Ell es jouent un rô le
c lé dans la régulati on de la prolifération ce llulaire et la surve ill ance génomique. Les
acti vités kinases de ATM et ATR sont induite en répon eau bri s à l' ADN et elles

phophoryle les kinases de vérificati on 1 et 2 (Chkl et 2), l' anti gène 1 du cancer du
se in (BRCA 1 ), p53 à la sérine 15, Mdm2. L' ATR phosphoryle la kin ase de
vérificati on 1 (Chkl ) (Das et Dashnamoorthy, 2004) . La DNA- PK apparti ent auss i à
la fa mill e des PIKK et elle est activée en répon e au bri s à l' ADN. La DNA-PK
phosphoryle p53 aux résidus sérine 37 et sérine 15 (Das et Dashnamoorthy, 2004;
A chanta et al., 2001 ). Enfin, la Mdm2 qui est une proté in e possédant une activité E3
ubiquitine ligase dégrade la p53 afin d 'assurer un e autorégul ati on négative du cyc le
de la p53 (Maya et al., 2001 ). En plus, la protéine p53 peut être phosphory lée par la
p38 MA PK (Curtin et Cotter, 2003; Bulav in et al. , 1999; Kim et al., 2002; Sanchez-

Prieto et al., 2000) et JNK (Curtin et Cotter, 2003), ce qui fa it le li en entre les voies
des MAPK, de la p53 et de l' apoptose (F igure 1.1 7).

1.4. PRÉSENTATION DU PROJET
1.4.1. Introduction
L'apoptose est un processus phys iolog ique de mort ce llulaire au cours duquel
des mécani smes complexes sont activés pour aboutir à la destruction de la cellul e. Ce
« suic ide cellulaire » est un événement clé en bio logie car il permet l'équ ilibre entre
prolifération et dégénérescence cellulaire dans les organi smes pluricellulaires, c'est-à
dire le maintien de leur homéostas ie. De plu s, l'apoptose est un mécani sme «
s ilencieux » pour l'organisme et il permet donc la régulation des populations
cellulaires tout en respectant l'intégrité de l'organi sme. Cette mort cellulaire régulée,
induite et régie par une large variété de stimuli exogènes et endogènes, conduit à
l' activation de la fa mille des protéases à cystéine, les caspases. Elles jouent un rôle
fondamental dans le processus apoptotiq ue.
Il y a un intérêt cro issant à dé fin ir les mécani smes d ·a po ptose assoc iés à la
tox icité de faibles doses de différents composés chim iques (Orrenius et Zhi votovsky,
2006). Cec i inclut les polluants envi ronnementaux te ls que la toxine aq uatique
tributyltin (Reader et al. , 1999; Jurkiewicz et al., 2004) et les pesticides
organochlorés (Okoumassoun et al. , 2003) qui ont des impacts impo1tants sur la santé
humaine et d 'autres espèces.
La 1 iste des pathologies 1 iées à un dysfonct ionnement de 1 ' apoptose est en
croissance. La compréhension des mécani smes qui régul ent ce type de mort ce llula ire
peut a ider à identi fie r des sites d 'action potentiels pour envisager di ffé rentes
stratégies thérapeutiques, so ient activatrices, so ient inhibitrices du processus
apoptotique. Le traitement de la leucémie aiguë promyé locytai re par le trioxyde
d' arsenic représente un exemple d' utili sation thérapeut ique d' agents inducteu rs de
l' apoptose (F iorijn E, 1950). D'autre part, on a le traitement des lymphomes par le
cyc lophosphamide qui entraîne l' apoptose à des dose déterminées, et on pense que
50
1 ' ef fet thérapeutique de ce médicament est dCJ à son métabolite 1 ' acroléine (Schwerdt
et al. , 2006).
Dans notre recherche, on s' intéresse à l ' acroléine car elle est produite par la
réaction enzymatique de l ' amine oxydase avec les polyamines cellulaires (spermin e,
permidine) nécessa ires à la division et à la proli fé ration ce llulaire. Cette oxydation
enzymatique génère auss i le peroxyde d' hydrogène qui est connu pour son potentiel
apoptotique. Ainsi, ces propriétés de l ' amine oxydase de générer deux produits
tox iques, l ' acroléine et le l-b02 lu i confèrent des caractéri stiques pertinentes dans le
traitement de cancer. C'est pourquoi des études pré-cliniques sur des modèles
ce l! ulaires s' avèrent essentielles pour que 1 'enzymothérapie pu isse être val idée et
peut-être utili sée de façon efficace en clinique. En plu s, on s' intéresse à étudier
l ' acroléine car elle est un polluant ominéprésent de notre environnement et un
marqueur important dans le pronostic de la maladie d ' A lzheimer.
En général, on remarque que 1 ' acroléine induit la mort ce l! ulaire par nécrose
(Rudra et Krokan, 1999) et cause une inhibition de la proli férati on ce llulaire
(Agostinelli et al. , 1994, 1996; Biswal et al., 2002). Toutefois, l ' acroléine peut
induire l 'apoptose ou l ' inhiber dans le même type ce llulaire et ceci dépendamment de
la concentration et du type cellulaire utili sé. Par exemple, une fa ible concentration en
acroléine (< 10 ~-tM) induit l 'apoptose chez les neutrophil es tandi s qu ' une plus grande
concentration (> 1 0 ~-tM ) 1' inhibe (Finkelsetin et al ., 2005). Cependant, les
mécanismes d' inducti on de l ' apoptose par l 'acroléine ne sont pas encore compri s.
1.4.2. Modèle cellulaire
Pour pouvoir utiliser un nouveau médicament en c linique, chercher une
protecti on contre les effets toxiques d' un polluant environnemental , les mécani smes
d' action ce llulaires et moléculaires doivent tout d' abord être compri s. Les études in
vitro utili sant des lignées ce llulaires présentent comme avantage de générer
rapidement des résultats fiables et utiles tout en perm ettant un meilleur contrôle des
51
conditions expérimentales, contrairement aux expéri ences sur les an1maux qu1
présentent souvent des problèmes li és à t·hétérogénicité ce llulaire. La culture
ce llulaire limite l ' utili sation d' animaux de laboratoire qui es t considérée de moins en
moins justifiée par les organismes qui veillent à la protection des animaux, et elle est
relati vement peu coüteuse en comparaison. La plupart des ce llules norm ales ont une
durée de v ie limitée (20 à 100 générations). Les ce llules de rongeur et celle de la
plupart des tumeurs mises en culture continue, peuvent subir une transformati on
spontanée ou induite, qui leur confère un ca ractère immortel. Cette transformation
provoque l 'aneuploidie et une augmentati on de la tum origénicité. Ces lignées sont
bien caractéri sées et présentent une population de cellules homogènes. Ces ce llules
sont cultivées dans un environnement qui peut être fac ilement contrôlé (température,
pH , oxygène, etc) . Dans le cadre de cette étude, les di f férents types
d 'expérimentations ont été effectués sur des ce liu les d' ovaire de hamster chinois
(CHO) (Ling et T hompson, 1973). Le phénotype des ce llules C HO a été très bien
ca ractéri sé et ces dernières comptent parmi les types ce llulaires les plus utili sé dans
la recherche in vitro. Cependant, l ' utilisation de culture ce llulaire comporte des
limitati on . Elle ne peut refl éter la complex ité biologique des ti ssus ou organismes
entiers. Les interactions cellulaires ex istant dans les ti ssus se perdent lors de la
propagation sur un substrat bidimensionnel. Cependant, la culture cellulaire est utile
pour étudier et comprendre les vo ies de signali sation ce llulaire, les bases moléculaires
de pathologies ou les mécanismes de tox icité. Enfin, il y a de plus en plus d' intérêt à
déve lopper les modèles de culture de cellules en trois dimensions pour la poursuite
des études lorsque les mécanismes recherchés ont été caractéri sés par les cu !tu res
cellulaires conventionnelles.
1.4.3. Objectifs du projet
La première hypothèse est que l ' acro léine induit l ' apoptose et ceci par la vo ie
mitochondriale et 1 ou par la vo ie des récepteurs. La deux ième hypothè e est que
52
l' acroléine induit des dommages à l'ADN, ce qui entraînera l'act ivat ion de la p53. La
p53 induira ensuite la transcription de Bax a insi que ce ll e du récepteur Fas, act ivant
de ce fa it la voie mitochondriale et la vo ie des récepteurs, respectivement. La
troix ième hypothèse est que la vo ie des récepteur peut act iver la vo ie mitochondriale
par l' intermédia ire de la caspase-8, ain si que le vo ies de p38 MAPK et JNK.
L'apoptose induite par l'acro lé ine peut être inhibée par les vo ies AKT et ERK suite à
1 ' ac ti va ti on des récepteurs tyrosines kinases. La quatri ème hypothèse est que
l' acroléine engendre un stress oxydati f, en diminuant le GS H, un puissant
antioxydant intracellulaire, ainsi on examinera l' effet protecteur des modulateurs de
g lutathion sur l' apoptose induite par l' acroléine.
L'objecti f général de cette étude est de comprendre les mécani smes
molécul aires impliqués dans l' induction de l' apoptose par l'acrolé ine. Les objecti fs
spécifiques de l'étude sont de déterminer ( 1) l' implication de la voie mitochondri a le,
(2) la vo ie des récepteurs de mort et (3) la signa li sat ion des MAPK et de la p53 dans
l' apoptose induite par l'acroléi ne, et (4) le rôle du glutathion dans la protection de
l' apoptose.
1.4.4. Approche expérimentale
Objectif 1 : Ce projet déterminera si l' acroléi ne entraîne l' apoptose et ou la
nécrose. L' apoptose est révélé par le colorant Hoe cht No. 33258 en microscop ie à
fluorescence. Le co lorant 1-l oescht No. 33258 s' interca le dans l' ADN des ce llules et
fluoresce proportionnellement à la condensation de la chromatine qui est une
caractéri tique importante de l' apoptose. La nécrose e t révé lée par l' iodure de
propidium qui entre dans les ce llules dont les membranes sont endommagées et
co lore le noyau. De plus, la propriété de l' acroléine à act iver la voie mitochondria le
de l'apoptose, en induisant une baisse du potenti e l membranaire, en libérant le
cytochrome-c vers le cytoso l et en translocant les protéines pro-apoptotiques Bax et
Bad du cytosol vers la mitochondrie sera investiguée. La baisse de la protéine anti-
53
apoptotique Bcl-2 au ni veau de la mitochondrie sera analysée. La détection de ces
proté ines se fera par la méthode de l ' immunobuvardage de type We tern en utili sant
les anticorps spécifiques correspondants après le f ractionnement sous-cellul aire. La
pureté des différents compartiments (cytoso l, mitochondrie, membrana ire) sera
vér ifi ée par des marqueurs spécifiques de chaque f raction ce llulaire. La ca lnexine est
spéc ifique aux microsomes, la GST-n 1 au cyto ol et la cytochrome oxydase est
spéc ifique aux mitochondries. Les bandes de protéines seront ensuite révélées par
développement sur un film . La quantificati on de ces bandes protéiques par un
densitomètre au laser permettra de ca lculer leurs concentrations relatives par rapport
aux cellules non exposées à l ' acroléine. La baisse du potentiel membranaire
mitochondriale sera analysée en cytométrie de flux par la sonde rhodamine-123. On
détermin era si l 'acroléine active les caspases initiatri ces (ex: caspase -8 et -9) et les
caspases effectr ices (ex: caspases -3, -6 et -7) par fluorimétr ie. Cela consiste à
étudier la cinétique des réact ions enzymatiques en utili ant les substrats fluorescents
et spécifiques à chaque caspase. Si la caspase est act ivée, le substrat est c li vé, et on
aura augmentation de la fluorescence du fragment cli vé qui se ra détectée par un
lecteur de m icroplaque à fluorescence à des longueures d' onde précises d ' exc itation
et d 'émiss ion. Ensuite le clivage de chaque caspase sera étudié par immunobuvardage
de type Western pour détecter la forme pro-caspase et le fragment clivé. En utilisant
des inhibiteurs pharmacologiques des di fférentes caspase , on déterminera leurs
implications dans l ' exécution de l ' apoptose. Le cli vage de I' ICA D et de la PARP,
deux importants substrats des caspases, sera examiné en immunobuvardage de type
Western dans un lysat cellulaire tota l.
Objectif 2: En infligeant des dommages à l ' ADN par expos ition à l ' acroléine,
la p53 peut induire l ' act ivation du récepteur Fas conduisant de ce fait à l 'activation de
la vo ie des récepteurs. Ainsi, on examinera l 'augmentation de l 'express ion du
récepteur Fas et de son li gand FasL au ni veau de la membrane plasmique, la
trans locati on de FADO du cytoso l vers la membrane plasmique par
54
immunobuvardage de type Western dans les fraction s sous-cellulaires. On détectera le
c l iv age de la pro-caspase-8 et 1 'appar iti on de son fragment par i mmunob uvardage de
type Western , et 1 'act ivation de la caspase-8 par Il uori métri e. Enfin , 1' uti 1 isat ion
d' inhibiteurs pharm aco logiques spécifiqu es de la caspase-8 et du récepteur Fas
déterminera l' importance de la vo ie des récepteurs de mort et de la vo ie
mitochondriale dans l' induction de l' apoptose induite par l' ac roléi ne. Cec i, en
déterminant leurs effets sur l'activation des différentes caspases, le cli vage de la
PARP et la condensation de la chromat ine pa r l'acrolé in e. Le cli vage de Bid dans le
cytoso l en sa fo rme tronqué t-B id qui se transloq ue à la membrane mi tochondri a le
sera auss i détecté en immunobuvardage de type Western dan les fractions sous
ce llulaires. L' externalisation des phosphatidylsérines, des phospholipides de la
membrane plasmique, pour présenter l' état apoptot ique de la cellule au milieu
environnant pour qu ' elle so it phagocytée par un macrophage, sera détectée à l' aide du
cytomètre à !lux par l'annexine V (Nardini et al. , 2002). L' an nexine V co upl ée à un
1luorochrome reconnaît la molécule de phosphatidylsérine qui se présente à la face
externe de la membrane plasmique et marque ainsi la membrane par fluorescence.
Objectif 3 : Pour démontrer l' implica ti on de la vo ie de signali sation des
MAPKs dans l' induction de l'apoptose par l' ac roléin e, on analysera par
immunobuvardage de type Werstern l' expression des formes phosphorylées (actives)
ou non-phosphorylées de ERK 1 et 2, c-jun , et p38 MA P kinase. En plus, on détectera
l' act ivation par phosphorylat ion de ASK 1 (Takeda et al., 2003) qui est une
MAPKKK (MAPK ki nase kinase) qu i active .J K et p38 MAPK. S' il y a
phosphorylation des différentes MAPK, on utili era des inhibi teu rs de chacune des
tro is cascades des MAPKs afi n de confirmer l' impl ication de différentes kinases dans
l' apoptose induite par l' acro léine. Les inhibiteurs envisagés seront le PD 98059 et le
UO 126 qui sont des inhibiteurs de MEK (L in et al., 2004), le SB203580 qui est un
inhibiteur de p38 MAPK (Li u et Hofmann , 2004) et le SP600 125 qui est un inhibiteur
de JNK (Naruishi et al. , 2003). Les effets des inhi biteurs seront analysés sur
1 ' activat ion des différentes caspases, le cl iv age de l' 1 CA D et la condensat ion de la
55
chromatine par l 'acro léine. Enfin, on analysera l ' express ion de AKT (proté ine kinase
B) qui est impliquée dans l ' inhibition de J'apoptose par phosphorylation de Bad
(Sarker et al. , 2003). S' il y a phosphory lation, on utili sera des inhibiteurs
pharmacologiques afi n de confirmer son implication dans l ' apoptose induite par
l 'acroléine. Les inhibiteurs env isagés seront le L Y294002 et le wortmannin qui sont
des inhibiteurs de la vo ie PI3K-AKT (H u et al. , 2000; Takeda et al., 2004). Enfin, on
examinera l 'express ion de la protéine suppresseur de tumeur la p53 qui est induite par
des dommages à l ' A DN causés par des compo és toxiques tel que l ' ac roléine et cec i
par immunobuvardage de type Western . L 'act ivat ion par phosphory lation de la p53
sur les sérines -1 5 et -46 sera auss i détectée par immunobuvardage de type Western .
Objectif 4: Compte tenu que l ' acroléine diminue de façon marquée l 'express ion
d' un antioxydant important, le g lutathion, la capacité des thiol s N-acétylcystéine
(NAC) et L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate (OTC) à détoxifier la ce llule de
l ' acroléine et ainsi inhiber l ' apoptose sera investiguée. Le AC et I 'OTC sont utili sés
pour leur capacité à augmenter le glutath ion et les th iols intracellulaires. La
concentrat ion du glutathion est mesurée par spectrophotométrie à une longueur
d' onde précise. D 'autre part, l ' habil eté de la diminution du glutathion par le L
buthionine sul fox imine (BSO) (inhibiteur de synthèse du glutathion) à augmenter
1' induction de 1 ' a po ptose et la cytotoxicité, sera déterminée. La cytotox icité est un
test qui mesure la capacité des ce llules à proliférer dans des pétr is après une
incubation avec un toxique. A près l ' expos ition, les cellules seront diluées et déposées
dans des pétris. Enfin, on comptera les co lonie fo rm ées après une semaine de
culture.
En conclusion, on s' attend que ce projet apporte une meilleure compréhension
de l 'apoptose induite par l 'acroléine afi n d'exp lorer le potentiel d 'utili ser la BSAO
dans le traitement des cancers. En plus, les mécani smes explorés dans ce projet
apporteront une meilleure compréhension de la tox icité de l ' acro léi ne qui es t
impliquée dans la malad ie d' A lzheimer et la tox icité du cyclophosphamide, et ainsi
trouver des moyens de protection.

RÉSUMÉ
L 'acroléine est un aldéhyde a.,p-in saturé extrêmement réacti f et elle est un produit de
la peroxydati on lipidique. Elle est un polluant environnemental qui est impliqué dans
plu ieurs maladies respiratoires. L 'acroléine est produite lors de la désamination
oxydative par la spermine oxydase. Les produi ts d' oxydati on des polyamines sont
impliqués dans l ' inhibition de la proli fé ration cellulaire, l ' apoptose, et l ' inhibition de
la synthèse de l ' A DN et des protéines. La présente étude expl ore le mécanisme de
mort ce llulaire induit par l 'acroléine. Acroléine induit l ' apoptose en entraînant la
baisse du potentiel membranaire mitochondri al, la li bérat ion du cytochrome-c,
l ' acti vati on de la caspase-9 initiatrice et la caspase-7 exécutrice. Par ailleurs,
l ' acro léine a inhibé l 'activité enzymatique de la ca pase-3 exécutrice sans empêcher
cependant le clivage de la proenzyme. L ' acti vati on des caspases -7 et -9 a été
confirmée par le clivage de leurs proenzymes. L ' apoptose indui te par l ' acroléine a été
inhibée par un inhibiteur de la caspase-9 mais pas par un inhibiteur de la caspase-3.
L ' induction de l ' apoptose par l ' acroléine a été confi rm ée morphologiquement par la
condensation nucléa ire de la chromatine et par le cli vage de l ' inhibiteur de la DNase
acti vée par les caspases (JCAD). Le cli vage de IICA D libère l ' endonucléase CA O
qui emmène la f ragmentation de l ' ADN. Ces résul tats démontrent que l 'acroléine
induit l ' apoptose par la vo ie mitochondriale.

ABSTRACT
Acrole in is a highly react ive a,p-unsaturated aldehyde, which is a product of li pid
peroxydat ion. lt is an environmental pollutant that ha been irnpli cated in multiple
respiratory diseases . Acro lein is produced by the enzymati c oxidati ve dearnination of
spermine by amine oxidase . Oxidation products of polyamines have been invo lved in
inhibi tion of ce ll proli feration , apoptosis , and inhibition of DNA and prote in
synthes is. The present study investigates the mechani sm of ce ll death induced by
acrole in . Acrolein induced apoptosis through a decrease in mitochondrial membrane
potential, liberation of cytochrome-c, acti vatio n of initi ator caspase-9 and acti vat ion
of the effector caspase-7. However, acrole in inhi bited enzymatic act ivity of the
effector caspase-3, although cleavage of pro-caspase-3 occurred. The act ivati on of
caspases-9 and -7 was confirmed by cleavage of their pro-enzy me form by acro le in.
Apoptos is was inhibited by an inhibitor of caspase-9, but not by an inhibitor of
ca pase-3. Induction of apoptosis by acrolein was confirmed morpholog ically by
condensation of nuclear chromatin and by cleavage of inhibitor of caspase activated
DNase (ICAD), which leads to liberat ion of CA D that causes DNA fragmentat ion.
These results demonstrate that acrolein causes apopto is th rough the mitochondrial
pathway.

INTRODUCTION
Acrolein is a highly reactive, u,p-unsaturated aldehyde and humans are
exposed to thi s compound in multiple situat ions [ 1]. Acrolein is one of the tox ic
produ cts of endogenous lipid peroxidation (LPO) [2]. Aero le in is a major component
of cigarette smoke and a constituent of automoti ve exhaust [3]. lndustrially, acrolein
is used as a herbicide as weil as a starting material for acrylate polymers and in the
produ cti on of acrylic acid [4]. Acrolein reacts with cyste ine, hi stidine and lys ine
res idues of proteins [5 , 6] . Acrole in protein adducts have been demonstrated 1n
di abetic nephropathy [7], Alzheimer's di sease [8, 9] and atherosc leros is [ 1 0].
Apoptosis is a phys iolog ica l cell death process whi ch plays an importa nt ro le
du ring development and maintenance of ti ssue homeostas is [Il , 12]. A balance
between ce ll death and ce ll pro liferati on is required to mainta in a cellular homeostatic
state. Devi ation from thi s cellular balance di srupts the normal state and can lead to
hum an di sease [1 3]. A family of cytoso l ic cy te in e proteases, the caspases, stored in
most cell s as zymogens, play an essenti al role in th e executi on of apoptos is. The
caspases are di vided into api cal ( -2, -8 , -9 and -1 0) and executioner subsets ( -3, -6 and
-7) [ 14]. The zymogen of caspase-9 is acti vated via a post-mitochondri al route [ 15].
The mitochondrial pathway is triggered by growth factor deprivation, ionizing
radi ati on and some anticancer dru gs such as cyc lophosphamide and etopos ide [1 6].
Cytochrome-c is released from mitochondri a into th e cytoso l, where it interacts with
dA TP and apoptos is protease activa ting fac tor (A pa fi) and pro-caspase-9 in the
apoptosome complex in the cytoso l. This leads to conversion of pro-caspase-9 to
act ive caspase-9 [17]. Anti-apoptotic (Bcl-2) and pro-apoptoti c (Bax) member of the
Bcl-2 fa mil y are thought to control apopto i by modulating cytochrome-c release
from mitochondri a [18] . Once acti vated, caspase-9 activates effector caspases such as
caspases-3, 6 and 7 [14]. Effector caspases then cleave specifie cytoplasmic,
63
cytoske leta l and nuclear protein substrates such as polyADP-ribose polymerase
(PARP), lamins and inhibitor of caspase act ivated DNa e (ICAD). The ce l! then
exhibits the characteri st ic morphologica l featu re of apo ptos is such as chromat in
condensation, ce l! blebbing and fo rm at ion of apoptot ic bod ies [ 19].
Acrole in has been shown to induce apoptosis in ce l! types such as human
a lveo lar macrophages [20], hu man keratinocytes [21 ] and hu man branchial epithe lia l
ce ll s 1-lB E 1 [22]. ln contrast, acrolein inhibited neutrophi l apoptos is [23] and induced
oncos is/necros is rather than apoptos is in murine proB lymphocytes [24]. Thus,
acro lein-induced apoptosis appears to be ce il type dependent. Most of these stud ies
confinned induction of apoptos is by means of endpoints occurring later in the
apoptotic cascade such as DNA fragmentat ion, without determining the mechanisms
occurring upstream of these events.
Acrolein is a metabolic product of cyc lophosphamide [25] and could be
invo lved in its ant icancer action. Lt is a Iso a prod uct of the ox idation of polyamines by
amine oxidases along wi th hydrogen peroxyde[26]. Ou r previous studies suggest that
amine ox idase could prove to be useful in ca ncer treatm ent [27]. Targeting
polyamines has emerged as a promisin g therapeuti c strategy since they play an
important role in the development and main tenance of neo plastic growth [28].
Moreover, rap idly grow ing tissues such as tumors have elevated levels of polyamines
[29]. To take advantage of this di ffe renti ai effect between normal and tumor cell s,
toxic products such as H20 2 and aldehydes could be generated in s itu by amine
ox idases fo r the selective killing of tumor ce ll s [30]. However, the molecul ar
mechanisms in vo lved in acrolein- induced apoptos is in cancer ce ll s are not
understood. Thi s study invest igates the ability of acrolein to act ivate apoptos is via the
mitochondrial pathway in proliferating Chinese ham ter ova ry (CI-10) ce ll s which are
known to induce tum ors.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Cel/ culture
Cl-IO ce lls (AuxBl) [3 1] were grown 111 monolayer in m1111mum essential
medium-Alpha (a-MEM) (G ibco Canada, Burlington, ON , Canada) plus 10% fetal
bovine serum (FBS) (G ibco Canada) and 1% penici llin (50 units/mL)- streptomycin
(50 ~Lg/mL) (Flow Laboratories, Mississauga, ON, Canada), in ti ssue culture flasks
(Starstedt, St Laurent, QC, Canada), in a humidifi ed atmosphere of 5% C02 in a
water jacketed incubator at 37°C [32]. The ce ll were grown to near confluence and
were then incubated for 24 h with fresh culture med ium. Confluent ce ll s were then
harvested using citrated phosphate-buffered saline (0. 14 M NaCl, 0.01 M sod ium
phosphate, 0.015 M sod ium citrate) , was hed by centrifu gation ( 1 OOOg, 3 min) and
resuspended in a-MEM fo r experimental studie .
Clonogenic cytotoxicity assay
Cytotoxicity was eva luated as the abi li ty of ce ll s to proliferate to form
macroscopic co loni es after a toxic insult with acro lein, using a c lonogen ic cell
urvi va l assay. CHO ce lls (1 05/mL) were incubated with acrole in (Aldrich Chemi ca l
Co, Mi lwa ukee, Wf), in a final vo lume of 1.0 mL in a-MEM containing 10 % FBS
for 1 h at 37°C. The ce lls were then washed three times by centrifugation ( 1 OOOg, 2
min) to stop the incubation [32]. The cell s we re resuspended and diluted to the
appropri ate concentration with a-MEM plus FBS and plated in ti ssue culture dishes
(60 x 15 mm), which were incubated at 3 7°C in an atmosphere of 5% C02 fo r 8 da ys.
The dishes were then washed with PBS , fixed with 95% eth ano l and sta ined with
methylene blue before counting macroscop ic co lonies (>50 ce ll s). Cytotoxic ity was
expressed as the mean number of co loni es obta ined relat ive to the mean number of
co lonies obta ined in the control. Two hundred ce ll s were seeded in the control plates,
but where there was a loss of ce l! survival , ce ll s were plated at severa! different
65
densities to ensure that countab le co lonies wo uld be obta in ed, and the results were
corrected accordingly. We have previously demonstrated that, in thi s system, there is
linearity between the number of cell s plated and co loni es fo rm ed over th e range of 10
to 104 [32].
Morplzological analysis ofapoptosis
To visualize nuclear morphology and chromat in condensation by flu orescence
mi croscopy [33], cell s were seeded and cultured to near confluence in tissue culture
d ishes containing SmL of a-M EM and 10% FBS. Cell s were incubated with acrole in
fo r 4 h or 24 h. Dishes were washed tw ice with PBS and Hoechst (33258) (0.06
mg/mL) was added fo r 15 min at 37°C to sta in apoptotic ce ll s. The di shes were
wa hed with PB S and propidium iodide (50 ~Lg/m L) was added to sta in the necroti c
cell s. Observations were made by flu orescence mi croscopy (Carl Ze iss Ltd, Montrea l,
QC) and photographs were taken by di gital camera (camera 3CCD, Sony DXC-950P,
Empix lmaging !ne, Miss issauga, ON). Images were analysed by Northern Ec lipse
software. Ce ll s were classified using the fo ll owing cri teria: a) li ve cell s (normal
nuclei, pale blue chromatin with organized structure) ; b) membrane- intact apoptotic
ce ll s (bright blue condensed or fragmented chromatin) ; c) necrotic ce lls (red , enl arged
nuclei with smooth norm al structure [33]. The fract ions of apoptotic and necrotic
ce ll s were determined relative to total ce ll s (obta ined using bright fie ld illumination).
A minimum of200 cell s were co unted per dish.
Caspase inlûbitors
Treatment of ce ll s with inhibitors of ca pase was performed on confluent
ce lls in monolayer. The specifie inhibitor used were: Caspase-3 lnhibitor V, Z
DQMD-FMK; Caspase-9 lnhibitor 1, Z-LEHD- FMK and the general Caspase
lnhibitor 1, Z-VAD-FMK (Ca lbiochem, La Ja ll a, A. The ce ll s were exposed to 10 or
20 ~M concentrations of inhibitors and to va ri ous concentrations of acrolein fo r 4 h.
66
Ce ll s were analysed for apoptos is by flu orescence m1 croscopy using Hoescht
sta ining.
Determination of caspase activity by.fluorescence spectroscopy
Freshly harvested CHO cells (0.5 x 1 06) were resuspended 111 a.-M EM and
incubated with acrolei n in a final volume of 1.0 mL at 37°C. After the appropriate
ti me, the ce il s were washed three times with co ld PB S by centri fugat ion ( 1 OOOg, 3
min) to stop the incubation. The ce ll s were re uspended in 50 ~Li of PBS and 25 ~Li
were depos ited into 96-well plates and lysed by freez in g at -20°C for 20 minutes.
Fifty ~Li of reaction buffer (20 mM piperaz ine-N,N'-bi s(2-ethanesulfonic ac id)
(PIPES), 100 mM NaCI, 10 mM dithiothreito l, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% 3-[(3-
cholam idopropyl)dimethylammonio ]-2-hydroxy-1-propanesul fo n ic ac id (C HAPS),
10% sucrose, pl-I 7.2) was added and stabilized at 37°C [34]. The ki netic reaction was
started after add ition of 25 f.i.l of the appropriate ca pase substrate at 37°C using a
Spectra Max spectrofluorimeter (Spectra Max Gem ini , Molecular Deviees,
Sunnyva le, CA).
Caspase-3 activity was measured by cleavage of the flu orogeni c substrate N
acetyi-Asp-G lu-Vai-Asp-am ino-4-methylcoum arin (Ca lbiochem, La Joli a, CA) to
produce amino methylcoumarin (AMC) with Àmax exc itation at 380 nm and Àmax
emiss ion at 460 nm. Caspase-7 act ivity was measured by cleavage of the flu orogenic
substrate 1 MCA-VDQVDGWK(DNP)-N!-1 2 with Àmax exc itation at 325 111n and
Àmax emiss ion at 395 nm. Caspase-9 act ivity was measured by cleavage of the
substrate Ac-LEHD-AFC to produce AFC with Àmax exc itation at 4 15 nm and Àmax
emiss ion at 490 nm .
Flow cytometry analysis of mitochondrial membrane potential
To measure .0.\jfm, the fluorescent probe rhodamine 123 was u ed. Freshly
harvested CHO ce il s ( 1 06) were resuspend ed in a.-M EM and incubated with acrolein,
67
or the pos itive control p-trifluorom ethoxy- phenyl-hydrazo ne (FCC P), in a fin al
volume of 1.0 mL at 37°C. After one hour of incubati on, th e cell s were washed three
times with co ld PBS by centri fugation ( 1 OOOg, 3 min) to stop the incubati on. The
ce ll s were resuspended with PB S and then incubated with th e tluorescent probe (800
ng/mL) for 5 minutes. Samples were washed and stored in the dark at 4°C until the
time of analys is (usually within 5 min). Propidium iodid e (Pl ) was added to ce l!
suspensions stained with rhodamine l 23 to identi fy dead ce l! s. Ce lis were analyzed
with a FACScan fl ow cytometer equipped with an argon laser emitting at 488 nm
(Becton Dickinson, Oxford , UK) . Data was acquired and analysed using Lys is Il
sofu;ya re (Becton Dickinson). Mean fluorescence intensity of 20,000 cells was
ca lcul ated for each sample and co rrected for autoflu orescence obta ined from samples
of unl abeled cell s. The analyser threshold was adju ted on the fo rward scatter (FSC)
channel to exc lude no ise and subce llular debri s. Photomultipli er settings were
adj usted to detect rhodamine 123 flu ore cence on the FL 1 detector and Pl
flu orescence on the FL2 detector. ln each case, the photomultiplier voltage was set so
that the signal peak from non-stained ce lls (mostl y due to autoflu orescence), feil
within the first decade of the logarithmic amplifier. Light scatter parameters were
used to establish size gates which detect apoptoti c ce ll s, thus exc luding dead ce lls
[35]. Populati ons of dead cell s hi ghly flu oresce in FL-2 because they incorporate Pl ,
thus 2 populati ons of ce ll s appear on the computer screen. For each sample, onl y the
li ve ce ll s are se lected and the ir mean flu orescence in FL-1 is analysed. Apoptoti c
ce li s, whi ch undergo a decrease in m itochondri a l membrane potentia l, incorporate
less of the rhodamine 123 dye, therefore emitting less flu orescence on the FL-1
detector.
Subcellular ji-actionation and immunodetection of cytochrome-c, caspases and
ICA D
68
Following treatment with acrolein , ce li s were washed in buffer A ( 100 mM
ucrose, 1 mM EGTA, 20 mM MOPS, pH 7.4) and resu pended in buffer B [buffer A
plus 5% Percoll , 0.01 % digitonin and a cocktail of protease inhibitors: 10 f!M
aprotinin, 10 f!M pepstatin A, 10 f!M leupeptin, 25 ~tM ca l pain inhibitor 1 and 1 mM
phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF)]. After 30 min incubation on ice, lysates were
homogenised using a hand porter (Kontes gia s CO, Dual! 22, Fisher, QC, Canada).
Un broken cells and nuclei were pelleted by centi fugation at 2500 g for 10 min. The
upernatant was centrifuged further at 100 000 g fo r 1 h. The resultant supernatant
was des ignated as the cytosolic fraction , which was used for detection of cytochrome
c. For immunodetection of caspases and ICAD, who le ce l! lysates were used.
SDS-polyacrylam ide ge l e lectrophores is (S OS-PAGE) of cellular proteins was
carried out according to Laemmli [36]. Proteins (30 ~tg) were quantified according to
Bradford [37] and then so lubili sed in Laemmli sample buffer. The sampl es were
boi led for 5 min at 1 00°C and loaded onto a 15% acrylamide ge l. Electrophores is was
carri ed out at a constant vo ltage of 125 V. Ce li ular protei ns were transferred
electrophoretically to a polyv inylidene difluoride (PV DF) membrane using a
MilliB iot Graphite Electroblotter 1 apparatus (Milli-pore, Bedford, MA). The transfer
buffer contained 96 mM glyc ine, 10 mM Tris and 1 0% methanol. The transfer was
carri ed out for l.S h at constant amperage of 80 mA/gel. Hydrophobie or nonspec ific
sites were blocked overnight at 4°C with 5% powdered skim milk in Tri s-buffered
saline (50 mM Tris and 150 mM NaC I) containing 0.1 % Tween 20 (TBS-T).
Membranes were washed four times for 15 min in TBS-T. The blots were probed
with the primary antibody: anti-cytochrome-c (B D Biosc iences Canada, Mississauga,
ON), anti-caspase-3, anti-caspase-9, anti-lCA D, anti-tubulin (Santa Cruz
Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) and anti-caspase-7 (Ce ll Signaling Technology,
Beverly, MA) in TBS-T, 1% bovine serum album in (BSA) for 1 h at room
temperature. Membranes were washed fo ur times for 15 min and incubated for 1 hat
room temperature with peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody ( 1:1 000) in TBS-T
69
containing 5% milk powder. Secondary antibod ies consisted of horserad ish
perox idase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-mouse, anti-rabbit and anti-goat lgG
(B iosource, Camarill o, CA). PVDF membranes were washed four times for 15 111111
and cytochrome-c, caspases and ICAD were detected us ing the ECL plus
chemiluminescence kit (Perkin Elmer, Boston, MA). For verification of equ ivalence
in protein loading, the blot was probed with the anti-tubulin antibody and by
co lorat ion of the gels using Coomass ie blue. Protein express ion was quanti fied using
a scanning laser densitometer, re lat ive to ~-tubulin (Mo lec ul ar Dynamics, Sunnyva le,
CA) .
Statistical analysis
Statist ical di ffe rences between control and treated groups fo r ce ll survi val and
ICA D cleavage were detennined by a two-tai led unpaired Student' L test. Statist ical
compari sons fo r the glutathione assay were made with one-way ANOVA whi ch
measures the linear contrast of means. An adj ustment was made to limit the
famil ywise error rate (FWE) to 5% by ca lcul at in g an adj usted p-va lue whi ch is a
simulated based p -value obta ined from the multi va ri ate t distributi on (number of
simulations = 1000 000) [38). Two-way ANOV A vv ith a p-adjusted value obtained
usin g the Bonferroni-Holm method (a stepwise method) was u ed to compare ce ll s
treated with acro le in versus control, using the 1-l oescht test. Data fo r caspase act ivity
and caspase cleavage were analyzed for signifi ca nt diffe rences using a one-way
ANOV A with a Bonfe rroni-Holm post-test correction for multiple comparisons. For
ex periments invo lvin g caspase inhibitors, adj usted p-va lues were obtained using one
way ANOV A fo ll owed by the Dunnett test.
Values are expressed as means ± SEM. Difl"erences were considered

RESULTS
We established the concentrations of acro le in whi ch were ab le to induce
cytotoxicity in CHO ce li s (F ig. 1 ). Cytotoxic ity wa induced at concentrations of 50
fm o l/ce ll of acro le in and hi gher. A concentrati on of about 1 80 to 190 fm o l/ce ll ( 18-
19 11M) was s ufficient to decrease the fraction of surviving ce ll s to 10% . Above 200
fmol /ce ll , there was a marked decline in ce l! surviva l to 5 logarithm s of ce l! killing at
350 fm o l/cell . lt shou ld be noted that the acro le in co ncentrat ion was expressed as
fmo l/ce ll because the ce l! density was different fo r certa in tests [39].
Subseq uently, we investigated the type of ce l! death (i.e. apoptos is or
necrosis) induced by acro le in in proliferating C l-IO ce ll s. Morpho logical analys is
demonstrates that acro lei n induces both a poptosis and necros is in ce ll s (Fig. 2).
Apoptosis is characte rized by early and prominent condensati on of nuc lear ch romat in
[33]. Apoptosis induced by acro le in was reveal ed by condensation of ch romat in with
the flu orescent probe Hoescht (b lue-green) whereas necros is was revealed by the
flu orescent probe Pl (red). Acrolein (50 fm o l/ce ll , 4h) (Fig. 2C) induced apoptos is
and necrosis in 21% and 4% of ce ll s, respecti ve ly (F ig. 2E, 2F). A higher
concentration of acro lein ( 100 fmol /ce ll , 4h) (F ig. 2 0 ) sw itched the mode of ce l!
death from apoptosis (9%) to necrosis (20%) (F ig. 2E, 2F). lt should be pointed out
that induction of apoptos is occurred at lower concentrati ons of acro le in (~ 30
f mo l/ce ll , 4h) (F ig. 28 , 2E), relative to inducti on of necrosis (~ 50 fmol/cell , 4h)
(F ig. 2C, 2F) . Very few dead cell s were seen in untreated contro ls (F ig. 2A). When
ce ll s were exposed to acrolein for 24 h, higher level s of toxicity occurred by
apoptos is and necrosis (Fig. 2E, 2F) . Maximum leve ls of apoptos is were induced by
30 and 50 fmol/cell of acro le in , whereas 100 fmo l/ce ll of ac ro lei n caused essentia lly
onl y necros is.
The subsequent step was to determ ine whether ac ro le in could induce
apoptosis v ia activation of the mitochondri a l pathway. The ab ility of acro le in to a lter
71
mitochondrial membrane potenti a l and to induce liberati on of cytochrome-c from the
mi tochondria to the cytoso l was determined. Expos ure of ce lls to acrolein ( 10 to 30
.fillol!ce ll ) for 1 h led to a decrease in rhodamine 123 flu orescence in the FL 1 channel,
relati ve to untreated control ce ll s (Fig. 3A, 38 ). Thi s represented a decrease in
mi tochondrial membrane potenti al by 25% in the presence of 30 j inol/ce ll of acrolein,
relati ve to contra is (Fig. 3B). The magni tude of the decrease was similar to that
induced by FCCP (5 ~-tM), whi ch was used a a pos itive control fo r membrane
depolari sati on (F ig 38 ). The mitochond rial perm eability transition pore (PTP)
complex is considered to play an important role in the release of pro-apoptoti c
proteins such as cytochrome c. Opening of the PTP can be inhibited by compounds
such as cyc losporine A (40]. lndeed, cyclosporine A part iall y inhibited apoptos is
induced by acrolein (Fig. 3C), further confirming the role of membrane depolarisati on
in acrolein-induced apoptos is. Acrolein (4 to 30 f mol/ce ll ) caused the liberati on of
cytochrome-c after 1 h (F ig. 3D). Exposure to acrolein ( 1 to 50 jin ol/cell ) for 1 h
caused activation of caspase-9, which is the initiato r caspase of the mitochondrial
path way (Fig. 4A). However, after 2 h, th ere was no acti va ti on of caspase-9, but
instead, inhibition of the enzyme. ln fact, caspase-9 acti vity was lower than the
control leve! fo r concentrations between 20 and ISOjinol/ce ll , a lthough thi s was only
significant at the highest dose. We fo und that acrolein cleaved procaspase-9 as a
function of increas ing concentrati on from 2 to 50 j mol/ce ll afte r a 1 h in cubati on
(F ig. 48, 4C). This was apparent as a decrease in th e intensity of bands (F ig. 48 ) for
the pro-enzyme fo nn of caspase-9 (F ig. 4C). There was a corresponding increase in
the quantity of cleavage fragment of 35 k.Da fo r caspase-9 (F ig. 48, 4D), with
increas ing acrole in concentration.
We subsequentl y determined the ability of acrole in to acti vate effector
caspases. However, the enzymatic acti vity of the major downstream effector caspase-
3 was inhibi ted by low concentrations of acrolein (5 to 20 jmol/ce ll ) (F ig. SA).
Caspase-3 acti vity was rapidly inhibited after expo ure to acrole in for onl y 5 min
72
(F ig. SA). lndeed, exposure of ce lls to 20 f mo l/ce ll of acro le in fo r 1 h compl ete ly
inhibited caspase-3 activity (F ig. SA). A lthough caspase-3 act ivity was inhibited,
procaspase-3 was cleaved (F ig. 58 , SC) to it two fragments pli and pl 7 (F ig. 58,
5 0 ). C leavage of pro-caspase-3 is necessary fo r the fo rm ati on of the acti ve d imeric
fo rm of ca pa se-3 [ 4 1].
S ince effector caspase-3 was not act ivated , we determined whether other
downstream caspases could be activated, in arder to exp la in the acro le in-induced
chromatin co ndensation (F ig. 2C). We eva luated the effect of acro le in on act ivity of
caspase-7, w hich is a downstream caspase th at ca n c leave PA RP. T hu s, 10 fm ollce ll
of acro le in , w hi ch inhibited caspase-3 after 5 min of expos ure (F ig. SA), activated
caspase-7 after 2 h (F ig. 6A). S imil ar to caspase-3, c leavage of pro-caspase-7 is
necessary fo r the fo rmat ion of the acti ve dimeric fo rm of caspase-7 [4 1]. lndeed,
c leavage of procaspase-7 (F ig . 68, 6C) to its acti ve fragment p20 (F ig. 6B, 6 D) was
induced after 1 h, by 10 to 50 ji11o l/ce ll of acro lein. H igher co ncentrat ions of acro le in
(~ 100 jmo l/ce ll ) were needed to act ivate caspase-7 afte r 1 h, whereas lower
concentrations ( 10 and 50 fm o l/ce ll ) ac ti vated the enzyme after 2 h of acro le in
exposure (F ig. 6A). H igher doses of acro le in (> 100 ji11o l/ce ll ) did not acti vate
caspase-7 after 2 h (F ig. 6A).
T he subsequent step was to confi nn the imp li cat ion of caspase-9 in acro le in
induced apoptos is. Therefore, the ability of a gene ra l inhib itor of caspases and of
spec ifi e inhibitors of caspases-3 and -9 to inhi bit apoptosis induced by acro le in was
eva lu ated. The leve! of apoptos is was partia lly inhi bited by the genera l inhibi to r of
caspases (f ig. 7A). T he inhibi to r of caspase-9 dec reased ce l! death by apoptos is by
about 70% (F ig. 7 A). However, the inhibi to r of ca pase-3 had no effect on apoptosis
induced by acro lein (F ig. 7B). Hydrogen peroxydewas used a a pos itive contro l to
show that the inh ib ito r of caspase-3 wa ab le to inhi bit per x ide- induced apoptosis
(F ig. 7C).
73
Acro le in (~50 fmol /ce ll ) indu ced c leavage of the caspase substrate ICAO, the
inhibito r of caspase activated ONase (CAO), afte r 2 h (F ig. 8), thereby liberat ing
CAO w hich can cause ONA fragmentation in the nuc leus.

DISCUSSION
The new finding of the present study is th at acrole in is capable of inducing the
mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis invo lving liberat ion of cytochrome c and the
act ivation of certain caspases in proliferating ce il s. We provide new informat ion on
the molecul ar mechani sms by which acrolein induces apo ptos is. Induction of
apoptos is by acrolein was confirmed morpholog ica ily by the co ndensation of nuclear
chromatin after 4h , a later event in the apoptotic cascade, as we il as by severa! earlier,
upstream events associated with apoptos is at th e mitochondrial and post
mi tochondri al levels. At the mitochondrial leve!, acrole in caused a decrease in
membrane potential , foilowed by the liberati on of cytochrome-c into the cytoso l, after
1 h. At the post-mitochondrial level, cytochrome c is an essenti al component of the
cytoso li c apoptosome complex, along with Apafl and pro-ca pa e-9. Acrolein indeed
induced the activation of initi ator caspase-9 after 1 h and the effecto r caspase-7 after 1
to 2h. Caspase act ivation was fo ilowed by cleavage of ICA D after 2h. Thi s leads to
the li beration of the protease CAO, wh ich can cause later events such as chromatin
condensation and fragmentation of DNA in the nucleu .
Act ivat ion of these caspases was confirmed by the cleavage of their pro
enzyme fo rms and the generat ion of appropriate cleavage fragments, as we il as by the
increase in their enzymatic activities. The role of caspase-9 was a Iso confirmed using
a spec ifi e caspase-9 inhibitor. At present, there is no spec ifi e inhibitor of caspase-7
a v ai labie commercially.
The implicat ion of the PTP and cytochrome-c release in acro lein induced
apoptos is was assessed using cyclosporine A. Although the mechani sms of
cytochrome c release are not completely understood, it i considered that cytochrome
c can be re leased from mitochondria via the PTP as we il as by formation of channels
on the membrane involving Bax [42]. The inhi bition of apoptos is by cyclospo rine A
supports a role for PTP opening and release of cytochrome c in acrolein-induced
75
apoptos is. The parti al inhibition by cyclosporine A uggests that acrolein could also
induce apoptos is by alternative mechani sms to the mitochondri al pathway and/or th at
cytochrome c can be released by severa! di ffe rent mechani sms.
Our findin gs show that caspase-3 is not essenti al for the execution phase of
acrolein-induced apoptosis in proliferating ce ll s. Thi s was demonstrated by the lack
of activation of its enzymatic activity and the lack of inhibition of nuclear chromatin
condensati on by a specifie inhibitor of caspase-3. lt was reported that MCF-7 ce ll s,
whi ch lack caspase-3, can still undergo apoptosis [4 1]. lndeed, acrolein-induced
apoptos is in CHO cell s appears to be medi ated through acti vat ion of the effector
caspase-7. ln addition to caspase-3, caspase-9 is abl e to d irectly cleave pro-ca pase-7,
leading to subsequent activation of caspase-7 [43]. ln our study, cleavage of ICA D is
likely to be mediated by caspase-7 [44]. lt is often di ffi cult to distingui sh between the
involvement of caspase-3 and -7 in apoptos is since they share similar protein (PARP,
ICAD) [19] and peptide (Ac-DEVD-AMC) ubstrates [45].
A surprising findin g in our study was that pro-caspase-3 was indeed cleaved
in cells, yet the enzymatic activity of caspase-3 was markedly inhibited by acrole in .
The cleavage of pro-caspase-3 is likely to result from the proteo lyti c acti on of th e
active caspase-9 [46]. Even though pro-caspa e-3 undergoe cleavage to generate
caspase-3 in cell s, enzymatic activ ity appears to be immedi ately inhibited. This could
ari se through direct alkylation of its active site cysteine res idue by acrolein . The
inhibition of caspase-3 by acrole in is in agreement with other studi es. Inhibi tion of
caspase-3 acti vity occurred in neutrophil s after 2 to 8 h of treatment with 10 ~-tM
acrolein [23]. Activities of caspases-3, -8 and -9 were inhibi ted 12 h fo llowing a 30
min exposure to acrolein (5 to 40 ~-tM) in murine proB lymphocytes [24]. For each of
the caspases-3, -7 and -9, cleavage of the pro-enzyme form into cleavage fragments
occurred in CHO cell s. However, ali of the caspase enzymes contain a nucleophilic
acti ve-site cysteine residue and potenti ally they could ali be inhibited by acrolein [23 ,
47]. Acrole in appears to be causing some act iva ti on ofcaspases-7 and -9, while at th e
76
same time inhibiting their activity. lt appears th at caspases-7 and -9 are not res istant
to inactivation by acrolein, but rather, they may be Jess susceptible to inactivati on
than caspase-3. Although acrolein appears to eventually inhibit enzymati c act ivity of
each of these 3 caspases, caspases-9 and -7 were suffi cientl y acti vated to trigger
caspase-dependent downstream events such the ICA D cleavage and chromatin
condensation. The fact that acrole in completely inhibits caspase-3, whereas caspases-
7 and -9 undergo some leve! of acti vati on in Cl-I O ce lls could also be expla ined by
more restri cted access of acrolein to the acti ve site cysteine res idues of caspases-7
and -9. It was reported that the major structural di ffe rences among th e caspases occLu·
at the active sites, whereas the rest of the structures are very similar. These structural
di fferences at the act ive sites could affect access to the acti ve site as we il as
interactions with other molecules and could explain the di ffe rences in the substrate
spec ificities among the different cas pa ses [ 41].
It has recently been reported that proteo lyti c cleavage is neither required nor
suffic ient fo r acti vati on of monomeric initi ator ca pases such as caspase-9 [48].
Dimerizati on, rather than cleavage, appears to be th e most important step for caspase-
9 activation and form ati on of an active site. 1-1 0\vever, cleavage of the prodomain
stabili ses the active form of caspase-9. There are severa! similarities between
activation of caspases-7 and -9. lnterestingly, th e caspase-9 dimer only contains one
acti ve site. The catalytic apparatus in th e other domain is di sabled due to steric
clashes. This inacti ve domain is almost identica l to that of the zymogen fo rm of
caspase-7, indicating that some structural similariti es ex ist between caspases-7 and-
9. A iso, identical confo rmational changes leadin g to fo rm ati on of the active sites was
reported fo r caspases-7 and -9, even though they are acti vated by diffe rent
mechani sms: proteo lysis versus d imerisa ti on, respecti v ely [ 48]. 1-I owever,
interdomain c leavage by initiator caspases is needed fo r activa ti on of executi oners
such as caspases-3 and - 7 [48].

In general, different studies have reported va riable tï ndings in that acrolein
can either cause or inhibit apoptos is, or cause predom inantly necros is rather than
apoptos is. For example, acrolein (25 ~tM) caused apoptos is in i olated human alveo lar
macrophages, detected by morpholog ica l changes and D A fragmentation after 24 h
[20]. Exposure to 50 )..LM acrolein for 24 h induced atypi ca l apoptosis in primary
cu ltures of human keratinocytes [21]. Acro lein st imulated apoptos is in the human
lung epithelial ce ll li ne HBEI , as indicated by externalisati on of phosphatidy lserine
and DNA fragmentation 24 h after a 30 min expo ure to 10 to 25 ~tM acrolein [22]. ln
human neutrophi ls, however, acrolein (25 ~tM) inhibitecl the con titutive pathway of
apoptos is [23 ]. ln proS lymphoid ce ll s, the ce ll death pathway was predominantly
oncos is/necros is, with only low leve ls of apoptosis occurring at 10\-ver doses ( < 10
)..LM) [24]. These vari ab le results could be due to di fferences in biochemical factors
determining cell death pathways in different cell types, which include non
pro li ferating primary cell cultures and ce ll s involvecl in immune responses, as we il as
pro l iferating cancer ce li li nes. Furthermore, cl ifferent methodo logies were used in
these studies, such as longer exposures to acrolein for 24 h or 48 h versus shorter
exposures to acrolein for 30 to 60 min, w ith or w ith out a 24 h-recovery period. ln
some cases, inclucling the present work, cells were expo ed to acrolein in medium
conta ining serum [20], whereas other studies exposed ce lls in serum-free medium
[2 1, 22, 23 , 24]. Acro lein can bind to serum proteins, which would likely decrease the
concentrati on ava ilable to interact w ith cell . Th is may slow or modi fy the onset of
tox icity leacling to apoptos is, rather than necros is. Necrosis appeared to be the
predominant fonn of ce ll death when ce ll s were expo ed to acrolein in serum-free
med ium [24]. ln our study acro lein did induce necrosis, but at higher doses than th ose
wh ich caused apoptos is.
One of our interests 1n exploring mechanisms of acrolein toxicity 111
pro li ferati ng ce ll s li es in the context of anticancer treatment. We reported that
acrolein and H20 2 both contr ibuted to cytotox icity induced by spermine and bov ine
78
serum amine ox idase (BSAO, EC 1.4.3.6) in HO ce ll s [49]. Since tumor tissues
contain elevated levels of polyamines, ta rgeting po lya mines could be a promi si ng
therapeutic strategy [28]. Tax ie products such as H20 2 and acro lein could be
generated in situ by amine ox idases for the se lect ive ki Il ing of tu mor ce li [ 49].
Fu rthermore, the enzyme could also act by deplet ing polyamines which are necessary
fo r tumor growth. BSAO has been successfull y immob ilized in biocompatible
po lyethylene glyco l hyd roge ls, which could be useful for in vivo stability and
de li very ofthe enzyme to tumors [50].
ln conclusion, this study clearly demonstrates that acrolein can cau e ce ll
death by both apoptos is and necros is. A small elevati on in acrole in concentration
witched the mechan ism of ce ll death from apoptosis to necros is. Acrole in induced
apoptos is through the mitochondrial pathway, in vo lvi ng cytochrome c release from
mitochondria and activation of caspases. However, thi s does not rul e out the
poss ibili ty that acrolein could induce apoptos is by alternat ive or complementary
mechani sms. Apoptos is cou ld also occur via death receptor pathways without the
in vo lvement of cytochrome c. Furthermore, a cros -ta lk pathway ex ists between the
death receptor and mitochondri al pathways, whi ch also leads to cytochrome c release.
Future studies will investigate th e role of death receptor and cross-talk pathways in
acrolein-induced apoptos is. The present findin gs may be important in exp laining the
pharmaco logical action and/or taxie side effects of cyc lophosphamide, which has
acrole in as one of its metabo lites, as we il as the tox icity of environmental exposures
to law doses ofacrolein in proli ferat ing cells.

ABSTRACT
Reactive a lpha,beta-unsaturated a ldehydes such as ac ro le in are majo r
components of common environmental pollutants. As a toxic by-product of lipid
peroxidation, acro le in has been implicated as a poss ible med iator of ox id ative
damage to ce lls and tissues in a wide va riety of di sease states, including
atherosc leros is, neurodegenerative and pulmonary di seases. A ltho ugh acro le in can
induce apoptotic cell death in various ce ll types, the biochemical mechanisms are not
understood. T hi s study investigates the implicat ion of the death recepto r pathway in
acro le in-induced apoptosis . Exposure of C hinese hamster ovary ce ll s to ac ro le in
caused translocation of adaptor protein Fas-assoc iated w ith death doma in to the
cytop lasmic membrane and caspase-8 act ivat ion. Kp7-6, an antagoni st of Fas receptor
activation, blocked apoptotic events down stream of ca pase-8, such as caspase-7
act ivat ion and nuc lear chromat in conde nsat ion. Acrolein act ivated the crossta lk
path way between the death receptor and mitochondri a l pathways . Bid was c leaved to
truncated-bid , w hich was trans located to mitochondri a. Act ivation of the
mitochondri a l pathway by acro le in was confïrm ed by caspase-9 act ivat ion. Inhibiti on
of act ivat ion of e ither the Fas receptor or caspase-8 partially decreased ac ro le in
induced caspase-9 activation. T hese fïndings indicate that ac ro lei n activates the Fas
receptor pathway, which occurs upstream from the mitochondrial pathway. Caspase-9
act ivation st iJl occurred despite inhibition of the Fas receptor pathway, suggest ing
th at ac ro lein co u id trigger the m itochondria l pathway independently of the receptor
pathway. T hese fïndings improve our understa nding of mechani sms of toxicity of the
react ive a ldehyde ac ro le in, which has w idespread implication s in multiple disease
states which appear to be med iated by ox idative stress and lipid peroxidation.

INTRODUCTION
Acrolein is a highly reactive, a ,p-unsaturated a ldehyde and humans are
exposed to thi s compound in multipl e contex ts [ 1]. lt is a ubiqui to us environ mental
pollu tant whi ch is present in food. Acrolei n is fo und in the va pours of overheated
cooking oi 1 and severe hu man toxic ex posures have been reported [2]. ft is used
industrially as a starting materi a l for acrylate polymers and in the production of
acrylic ac id , and as a herbicide [3]. Acrole in is also a metabo li c productofthe widely
used anticancer drug cyclophosphamide and has been implicated in its tox ic side
effects [ 4].
As we il as be ing a ubiquitous environm ental pollutant, acrolein is one of the
tox ic aldehyde by-products of endogenous 1 ipid perox id ati on, together with 4-
hydroxy-2-nonenal [5; 6]. Lipid peroxidati on is a de leteri ous chain reaction occurring
mainly in bio logica l membranes, resulting from oxidati ve stress. Acrole in a lso reacts
with glutathione [7; 8]. ln fact, acrole in causes more rapid and severe depletion of
thi s important cellular antioxidant when compared to the we ll-known ox idant H20 2
[9]. Furtherm ore, acrolein and its glutathione adduct, glutathi onylpropionaldehyde,
were shown to cause fo rmati on ofoxygen radica ls [1 0], which may be responsible fo r
inducti on of lipid perox idati on by acro lei n. Together, these studi es show that acrole in
causes an oxidati ve redox imbalance.
Ox idati ve stress and lipid perox id ati on have been implicated in a va ri ety of
human disease states. Since acro lein is an exogenous product of lipid peroxidati on
and can itself induce lipid peroxidation, thi s reacti ve a ldehyde may have a poss ible
role as a mediator of oxidative damage to cells and tissues. lndeed, acrolein has been
implicated in the development of multipl e disease states in vo lving oxidati ve stress,
such as atheroscleros is [6; Il] , vari ous lung diseases including chroni c obstructive
pulmonary di sease (COPD) [ 12], co lon carc inogenes is [ 13], diabetic nephropathy
[1 4], head trauma during ag ing [15] and Alzheimer's di sease [1 6]. Acro lein has been
108
used as a biomarker to evaluate ox idative stress-induced damage to retina [ 17] and to
erythrocytes [18] , as weil as in Alzheimer ' s disease [1 9; 20].
Acrole in is a component of smoke and is generated during fo rest and house
fi re and is a constituent of automobile exhaust. lt is a major component of cigarette
smoke and appears to contribute to its toxicity (2 1; 3]. Acrole in may contribute to
c igarette smoke-induced inflammatory processes in the lung by increas ing neutrophil
recruitment and reducing neutrophil c learance by apoptos is (2 1]. lt in creases th e
ex pression of mucin gene transcripts (MUC5AC and MUC5B) , whi ch leads to
excess ive mucus secreti on [22; 23], a hall mark in the pathogenes is of severa! a irway
di seases including COPD [24], asthma and cystic fibros is [25].
Apoptos is is a normal phys iolog ical process that plays an essential role in
development and the maintenance of homeostas is in multi ce ll u lar organ isms (26; 27].
A ba lance between cell death and cell proli fe rat ion is req uired to maintain a ce llular
homeostati c state . Dev iati on from thi s ce llular ba lance di srupts the normal state and
can lead to human disease [28 ; 29]. Apoptosis has many important repercussions in
human health. Ce ll accumulation via insuffïc ient apoptos is can contribute to
conditi ons such as cancer, inflammation and autoimmune di sease. ln contrast,
exce sive apoptos is can play an important ro le in neurodegenerati on, AlOS, eye
di sorders, osteoporosis and heart fai lure [30; 3 1]. Apoptot ic cell death has been
implicated in the mechani sms of toxicity of different chemica ls and environmental
pollutants [32], such as the aquatic toxin tributyltin (33 ; 34] and the orga nochlorine
pesticide heptachlor [35], wh ich have important implications in human health as weil
as that of other species.
Two of the major pathways of apoptos is are the death receptor and
mitochondri al pathways. There are severa! death receptors located at the cytop lasmic
membrane of cells, which are involved in the in duction of apo pto is, such as Fas
(CD95, AP0-1 ) and tumor necros is fac tor recepto r (TNF- R) (36]. The Fas receptor
mediates apoptoti c signal ling after binding of its natural li gand , Fas (FasL) [37]. FasL
109
binding induces Fas receptor trimerization. T his is followed by the recruitment of a
cytop lasmi c adapto r protein, Fas-associated dea th doma in (F ADD) [38] and pro
caspase 8, to the cytopl asmi c s ide of the membra ne, to fo rm a death-inducing
s igna lling complex (D ISC). The initi ator caspase-8 th en becomes auto-act ivated [39],
thereby initiating the cystei ne protease cascade by direct act ivat ion of effector
caspases such as caspases-7 and -3. Caspase-8 ca n a l o act ivate the mitochondrial
pathway of apoptos is through c leavage of the proapoptot ic prote in bid to gene rate its
truncated fo rm, t-bid . T-bid then trans locates to the mitochondria l membrane and
inte racts w ith the proapoptotic protein Bax to induce mitochond ri a l membrane
permeabi li zation and activation of caspase-9 and the mitochondrial pathway [40].
Downstream events in the apoptotic cascade inc lu de the cas pa e-med iated c leavage
of protein substrates such as polyADP-ribose po lymera e (PARP) and inhibito r of
caspase act ivated DNase (!CAO). T he ce l! th en exhibits the characteristic
morpholog ical featu res of apoptos is such as chromatin conde nsation, cytoske leta l
c hanges, nuclear me mbrane breakage, ce l! blebbing and fo rm at io n of apoptotic bodies
[3 1; 4 1]. A poptotic bodies are then ph agocytozed by macrop hages or ne ighboring
ce ll s, thus avo iding inflammato ry damage to adjacent tissues.
G iven the w idespread exposure of humans and other spec ies to ac ro le in , as
weil as its implication in multiple cli sease states in vo lv in g x idative stress, it is
important to understand its mechani sms of tox icity. Acro le in ha been shown to
induce apoptos is in severa ! different ce l! types [42 ; 43; 44], however, the molecul ar
mechani sms and biochemical pathways invo lved are not we il understood. Recently,
acro le in was shown to act ivate the mitochondria l pathway of apoptos is in C hinese
hamster ovary (CHO) ce ll s [45] . With the a im of advanc ing our knowledge of thi s
ubiquitous toxic compound, the present study in vesti gates whethe r ac ro lein can ca use
apoptos is through act ivat ion ofthe death receptor s igna llin g pathway .

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Cel/ culture
CHO ce lls (A uxBI) [46] were grown 1n monolayer in minimum essential
medium-Alpha (a.-MEM) plus 10% feta l bov ine serum (F BS) (G ibco Canada) and
1% penicillin (50 units/ml)-streptomyc in (50 ~g/ml ) (F low Laboratories,
Miss issauga, ON, Canada), in ti ssue culture fl asks (Sarstedt, St La urent, QC,
Canada), in a humidified atmosphere of 5% C02 in a water jacketed incubator at
37°C [47]. The ce lls were grown to near confluence and then incubated for 24 h with
fresh culture medium . Confluent cells were then harvested using citrated phosphate
buffered saline (0. 14 M NaCI, 0.01 M sodium phosphate, 0.015 M sodium citrate),
washed by centrifugation ( 1 OOOg, 3 min) and resuspended in a.-MEM plus 10% FBS
for experimental studies.
Determination of apoptotic cell dea th by Annexin V-FITC staining
Externalized phosphatidylserine (PS) on the outer surface of the cytoplasmic
membrane becomes labelled by flu oresce in-l abell ed Annex in Y (BD Biosc iences
Canada, Miss issauga, ON, Canada), whi ch has a hi gh affi nity for PS-containing
phospholipid bilayers [48]. CHO ce ll ( 1 x 106/ml) were incubated for 2 h with
acrolein or hyd rogen peroxide, and then \.vashed twice with PBS and resuspended in
1 ml of bind ing buffer ( lü mM Hepes/NaO H, pH 7.5, 140 mM NaC I, and 2.5 mM
CaCb). Five hundred J..il of cell suspension were then incubated with 5 ~t l of Annex in
Y -FITC and 10 ~tl of propidium iodide (Pl ) for 10 min at room temperature in the
dark. The population of annexin V-posit ive cell s was eva luated by flow cytometry.
Data were co ll ected using a FACS scan equipped with an argo n laser emitting at
488 nm and analyzed using Lysis Il software (Becton Dickinson, Oxford , UK).
Morphologica/ analysis of apoptosis byfluorescence microscopy
Ill
Ce ll s were incubated with acro lein for 4 h in tissue cu lture dishes containing
5ml of a-MEM and 10% FBS. Dishes were washed twice with PBS and Hoechst
(33258) (0.06 mg/ml) was added for 15 min at 37°C to sta in apoptotic ce lls. The
di she were washed with PBS and Pl (50 ~Lg/ml ) was added to stain necrotic cells.
Observations were made by fluorescence microscopy (Ca rl Zeiss Ltd , Montreal , QC,
Canada) and photographs were taken by di gital camera (camera 3CCD, Sony DXC-
950 P, Empix lmag ing lnc, Mississauga, ON , Canada) . Images were analysed by
orthern Eclipse software. Cells were classified using the fo llowing criteri a: a) live
cell s (normal nuclei, pale blue chromat in with orga ni zed structure); b) mem brane
intact apoptotic cell s (bright blue condensed or fragmented chromat in); c) necrotic
ce ll s (red, enl arged nuclei with smooth normal structure [49]. The fractions of
apoptot ic and necrotic cells were detennined relat ive to tota l ce ll s (obta ined us1ng
bright field illuminat ion). A minimum of 600 ce l! vvas counted per di sh.
Treatment ofcells with inhibitors ofca!>.ïJase-8 and Fas receptor
Confluent ce lls in monolayer were pretreated with the fo ll owing irreversible
inhibitors: Caspase-8 Inhibitor Il, Z-I ETD-FMK and Fas/FasL antagoni st Kp7-6
(Ca lbiochem, La Jo li a, CA, USA). The ce ll s were ex posed to a 10 ~LM concentration
of the inhibitor Z-IETD-FMK or to 1 mM of Kp7-6 and then to var ious
concentrations of acro lein fo r 1 or 4 h.
Determination of caspase activity by fluorescence .spectroscopy
Freshly harvested CHO cells (0.5 x 1 06) were incubated with acrolein in 1.0
ml of a-MEM plus 10% FBS at 37°C. A fter the appropri a te ti me, ce li s were washed
three times with co ld PBS by centri fugat ion ( 1 OOOg, 3 min), resuspended in 50 ~LI of
PBS and 25 ~LI and were deposited into 96-we ll plates and lysed by freezing at -20°C
fo r 20 min. Fifty ~LI of reaction buffe r (20 mM piperaz ine-N,N'-b is(2-ethanesul fon ic

cholamidopropy l)dimethylammonio] -2-hydroxy-1 -p ropanes ulfo ni c acid (C l-l APS) ,
10% sucrose, pH 7.2) was added and stabilized at 37°C [50]. The kinetic reaction was
started after addition of 25 ~tl of the appropri ate caspase substrate (Ca lbiochem) at
37°C using a spectrotluorimeter (Spectra Max Gem ini , Molecular Deviees,

Caspase-8 act ivity was measured by cleavage of the l·luorogenic substrate Z
IETD- amino-4-tritluoromethylcoumarin (caspase-8 substrate 11 ) to produce 7-amino-
4-tritluoromethylcoumarin (AFC) with Àmax exc itat ion at 4 15 11111 and Àmax
emiss ion at 490 nm . Caspase-9 activity wa measured by cleavage of the substrate
Ac-LEHD-AFCto produce AFC. Caspase-7 act ivity wa measured by cleavage ofthe
tluorogenic substrate 1 MCA- VDQVDGWK(DNP)-N I-h with Àmax excitation at 325

Subcel/ular fractionation and ùnmunodetection r~l Fas receptor (FasR), Fas ligand
(FasL), FADD, caspase-8, bic! and PARP
Fo ll owing treatment with acrolein, ce ll s were washed in buffer A (100 mM
sucrose, 1 mM EGTA, 20 mM MOPS, pH 7.4) and res uspended in buffer B [buffer A
plus 5% Percoll , 0.01% digitonin and a cocktail of protease inhibitors: 10 ~LM
aprotinin, 10 ~LM pepstatin A, 10 ~LM leupept in , 25 ~LM ca l pain inhibitor 1 and 1 mM
phenylmethylsulfonyl tluoride (PMSF)] [51]. After 30 min incubat ion on ice, lysates
were homogenised using a hand potter (Kontes g lass CO, Duall 22, Fisher, QC,
Canada). Unbroken ce ll s and nuclei were pe ll eted by centifugati on at 2500 g fo r 10
min . The supernatant was centrifuged at 15 000 g fo r 20 min and the resulting pellet
was designated as the mitochondrial fracti on, whi ch was used for the detection of t
bid [34]. A flll1her centrifugation of the supernatant fract ion at 100 000 g for 1 h
resulted in a pellet designated as the microsomal fract ion for the detection of FasR
and FADO, whereas the supernatant was des ignated a the cyto olic fraction , wh ich

was used fo r the detection of bid . Whole ce ll lysates were used fo r immunodetection
of FasL, caspase-8 and PARP.
Separati on of cellular prote ins (30 ~Lg) [52] was ca rri ed out by SDS
polyacrylamide gel electrophores is (S OS-PAG E) [53], u inga 10% (PARP) or a 15%

Electroblotter 1 apparatus (M illipore, Bedfo rd , MA) [45]. Membranes were probed
with the primary antibodi es: anti- FasR, anti-FADD (Stressgen, San Diego, CA,
USA), anti-caspase-8, anti-bid, anti-PARP (Sa nta Cruz Biotec hnology, Santa Cruz,

antibodi es consisted of horseradi sh peroxidase (1-1 RP)-conjugated goat anti-mouse,
anti-rabbit and anti-goat lgG ( 1:1000) (Biosource, Camarilla, CA, USA) . Proteins
were detected using the ECL plus chemiluminescence kit (Perkin Eimer, Boston, MA,
USA) and film s (Fuji medical X-ray film , Düsserld orf, Germany) were scann ed with
a Laser Scanning Densitometer (A lpha lnnotech Co rp ., San Leandro, CA, USA).
Purity of mitochondrial , cytoso lic and microsomal fract ions was verified using
antibodies to cytochrome-c oxidase (Sa nta Cruz Biotechnology), GST1r 1
(Ca lbiochem) and ca lnexin (BD Biosciences Canada), respective ly. Caspase-8 , PARP

Statistical analysis
Stati stical differences between control and treated groups were detennined
using a one-way ANOVA whi ch measures the linear contrast of means. An
adju tment was made to limit the familywise error rate (FWE) to 5% by ca lcul at ing
an adjusted p -va lue which is a simulated ba ed p-va lue obta ined fro m the mul tivariate
1 di stributi on (number of simulations = 1 000 000) [54]. Then, the Bonfe rroni-Holm

RESULTS
Induction of apop tosis by acrolein
The induction of apoptos is by acrolein was eva lu ated by Annex in V labell ing
of externalised PS on ce l! membranes (F ig. 1 ). There was a 2.5 to 3-fo ld increase in
Annex in V positive cell s foll owing exposure to 20 and 30 fm ol/cell of acrolein (F ig.
1 8 , 1 C), compared to untreated controls (F ig. 1 A). Hycl rogen perox ide also increased
Annex in V pos itive ce lls and was usee! as a pos itive control (F ig 1 D, 1 E). lt shoulcl be
noted th at the acro lein concentration was ex pressed as f mol/cell because the ce l!
density was di ffe rent fo r certain tests [55].
Acrolein induces translocation of FADD, cleavage ofprocaspase-8 and activation of
init iator ca. pase-8
The ability of acrole in to activate the death receptor path way of apoptos is was
investigated in CHO cell s. The adaptor protein FA DD, whi ch all ows the Fas receptor
and procaspase-8 to form the membrane DI SC complex, was recruited to th e
cytoplasmic membrane after 30 to 60 min (F ig. 2). The translocati on of FADD to the
membrane (Fig. 2A, 2B) resultee! in a corresponding reduction in levels of FADD in
the cytoso l (F ig. 2A, 2C), as weil as acti vat ion of caspase-8, an initi ator caspase (f ig.
3A). The cleavage of the inactive pro-enzyme fo rm is a major step in generation of
the acti ve fo rms of caspases. Exposure of cell s to acrolein resulted in cleavage of
procaspase-8 as a function of increas ing concentrat ion from 20 to 30 j mol/ce ll after
30 or 60 min (Fi g. 38 , 3C, 3D). Thi s wa apparent as a clecrease in the intensity of the
ba nd (F ig. 3 B, 3C) fo r the pro-enzyme fo rm of caspase-8 (55 kDa) and a
corresponding increase in the quantity of the 20 kDa cleavage fragment (F ig. 38 ,
3D).
Blockade of Fas receptor activation partially inhibits acrolein-induced apoptosis
11 6
The next step was to determine whether acti vat ion of caspase-8 by ac ro le in
wa dependent on Fas receptor s igna lling. First of a il , we co nfirmed that CHO cell s
indeed express the Fas receptor on the ir ce ll membranes (Fig. 4A). Furthermore,
expos ure of ce li s to acro le in at apoptosis-induc ing co ncentrat ions ( 10 to 50 jmol/cell)
did not affect the leve! of Fas receptor express ion (Fig. 4A , 4B) . There was,
however, an increase in Fas li gand (FasL) express ion w hen ce ll s were exposed to
ac ro le in (F ig. 4C, 40) .
The subsequent step was to determin e the ability of an inhibitor of Fa
receptor activation to bl ock acro le in-induced caspase-8 activati on and other apoptot ic
events downstream of caspase-8. Kp7-6 is an irrevers ible inhibitor of Fas receptor
activat ion. lt can bind to the Fas receptor and Fa L, therefore preventing the Fas L
from fonning a stab le complex w ith the Fas receptor [56]. Once caspase-8 is
activated, it directly processes downstream caspases such as caspases-3, -6 and -7 . It
was previously reported that acro lei n can activate caspase-7, but causes inhibition of
caspase-3 in these ce ll s [45 ]. Oownstream eve nts fro m caspase-8 th at were
investigated in the apoptot ic cascade inc luded the effector caspase-7 and chromat in
condensation in the nuc leus. Kp7-6 effect ive ly inhibited activation of initiator
caspase-8 by acrolein (F ig. SA) and partia lly inhibited activation of effector caspase-7
(F ig. 58).
Morphological analys is demonstrates that ac ro le in induces both apoptosis and
necros is in ce ll s (Fig. 6B). Apoptos is was revea led by condensation of chromat in
w ith Hoescht 33258 (b lue fluorescence) whereas necros is was revea led us in g PI (red
fluorescence) . Kp7-6 a lso inhibited acro lei n-induced nuclear ch romatin condensation
by about 60% (F ig. 60, 6E). The Fas receptor inhibitor did not affect contro l ce ll s
(F ig. SA, SB , 6C, 6E, 88).
A croie in activa tes the crosstalk pathway
11 7
Once procaspase-8 is autoacti vated at the DISC to become a mature acti ve
enzy me, two di stinct downstream path ways have been identifi ed for activati on of
apoptos is. ln one route, caspase-8 directl y proce se downstream effector caspases
uch as caspases-3, -6 and -7. Through an altern ati ve route, caspase-8 can acti vate a
crosstalk pathway between the death receptor and mitochondri al pathways, by the
cleavage of bid, a pro-apoptotic member of the 8 cl-2 fa mily. Exposure of ce lls to
acrole in for 30 or 60 min caused cleavage of bid (F ig. 7) to form t-bid, which
tran locates to the mitochondri a. This was apparent as a decrease in leve ls of bid in
the cytoso l with in creasing acrole in concentrat ion (F ig. 7 A, 78) and an increase in the
leve! of the cleavage fragment t-bid in the mitochondri al ti·acti on (F ig. 7A, 7C) . Once
loca li sed to the mitochondrial membrane, t-bid can acti vate the mitochondrial death
pathway. Thi s occurs by the release of cytochrome-c from mitochondri a and
acti vati on of another initiator caspase, caspase-9.
Caspase-8 is a maj or upstream ca~pase in acrolein-induced apoptosis
The subsequent step was to determine the role of ca pase-8 in activati on of the
mitochondri al pathway in acrolein-induced apoptosis. To achieve thi s, the ability of
an irreversible inhibitor of caspase-8, Z-IETD-FMK, was used to assess the effect of
caspase-8 activation on acrolein-induced caspase-9 act ivat ion, a downstream event in
the mitochondrial pathway. Acrolein induced the act ivati on of caspase-9, which was
partially decreased by the caspase-8 inhibitor (F ig. 8A). The acti vati on of caspase-9
by acrolein was also partially dimini shed by inhibition of Fas receptor activation by
Kp7-6, confirming the role of the Fas receptor upstream o t' th e mitochondrial path way
(F ig. 88). The role of initiator caspase-8 was in vesti gated in the acti vation of oth er
downstream apoptoti c events, such as cleavage of the caspase substrate PARP and
chromatin condensation in the nucleus. Expo ure of cell s to acrolein led to cleavage
of the DNA repair enzyme PARP ( 1 16 kDa), to fo rm a 85 kDa fragment, whi ch was
also diminished by the caspase-8 inhibitor (F ig. 9) . Z-I ETD-FMK al so decreased
acrolein-induced chromatin cond ensati on, a late stage event in apoptoti c ce ll death ,
11 8
by abo ut 60% (Fig. 1 OD, 1 OE). The caspase-8 inhibitor did not affect control cells
(Fig . 8A, 9, 1 OC, 1 OE) .
11 9
DISCUSSION
This study shows fo r the first time that acrolein can induce apoptos is 1n
proliferating ce ll s through act ivation of a death receptor pathway. Induct ion of
apoptos is by acrolein was confirmed by annex in V label ling of externalised PS and
morphologica lly by condensation of nuclear chromat in. Exposure to acrolein led to
recruitment of FADD and procaspase-8 to the cytop lasmi c membrane, resulting in
caspase-8 process in g. Once activated , the initi ato r caspase-8 processed the
downstream effector caspase-7. We confirmed that the Fas receptor was invo lved in
acrolein-induced apoptos is, by increased expres ion o t' FasL by acrolein and also with
Kp7-6 , an inhibitor of Fas receptor acti vat ion. Kp7-6 inhibited downstream apoptoti c
events in the death receptor pathway, such as act ivat ion of caspases-8 and - 7, and
chromatin condensati on in the nucleus.
lt was prev iously reported that acrolein can act ivate the mitochondria l
pathway of apoptos is in Cl-IO ce ll s [45]. Th is was apparent as a decrease in
m itochondri al membrane potential , 1 i beration of cytoch rome-c from 111 itochondria
into the cytoso l and the subsequent activat ion of initi ator caspase-9. lt is possible that
acrole in could activate the mitochondrial pathway direct ly, and/or by death receptor
signalling through the crosstalk pathway involving caspase-8 med iated cleavage of
the proapoptotic protein Bid . Our findings support both of these scenarios. The
crosstalk pathway was indeed act ivated by acro le in and the post-mitochondria l
activat ion of caspase-9 was part ia ll y decrea ed by an inhibi to r of caspase-8 . The fact
that there was on ly partia l inhibition of caspase-9 activation suggests that the
mi tochondria l pathway could a lso be st imulated by acrole in independent ly of the
death recepto r pathway. Thi s is a lso supported by the partia l inhibition of acrolein
induced chromatin condensation by Z-LEHD-FMK, an inhibitor of caspase-9 [45].
The caspase-8 inhibitor, Z-I ETD-FMK, also caused partial inhibition of chromat in
120
condensat io n, suggesting that acro le in can act iva te both the death receptor and
mi tochondrial pathways directly .
Acro le in was shown to medi ate apoptos is via the effector caspase-7, rather
than through caspase-3 [45]. Severa! stud ies have r po rted th at acro le in inhibits
activity of the majo r effector caspase-3 [45 ; 57 ; 58] , probably through inhibition of its
active s ite cyste ine res idue. T he effecto r caspase-7 ca n be act ivated by bo th of the
initi ato r caspases, caspase-8 and caspase-9 [59]. Both of the effector caspases-3 and-
7 share s imil ar prote in substrates and a re able to c leave the caspase substrate PARP
[4 1; 60].
The concentrations ( 10-50 fmo l/ce ll or 10-50 ~LM ) used in this study appear to
be re levant to in vivo levels of acro le in . T he phy io log ica l leve! of acro le in in the
serum of a norma l human was estimated to reach 50 ~LM [6 1]. Hi gher leve ls of
acro le in were reported fo r certa in di sease states. Acro le in is estim ated to reach 80 ~LM
in the respiratory tract lining fluid s as a resul t of c iga rette smoke [43 ]. ln our study,
exposure to l 0-50 ~M acro le in induced apoptot ic ce l! death after re lative ly sho rt
expos ure times of 1 to 4 h. Expos ure to the e concentrati ons, o r even lower
co ncentrat ions of acrole in for much longer time , such a days (as li ke ly occurs in
vivo) , would therefore be expected to cause w idespread ce ll death. Furthermore, it
wou ld be expected that acrolein concentrat ions in vivo wou ld inc rease w ith tim e after
injury, s in ce lipid peroxidation is a cha in react ion process, and in ad diti on, dead cells
wo uld liberate acro le in from the cytoso l into the extrace llul ar env ironment.
T he modes of ce l! death induced by different stresses a nd toxic compounds
are dependent on dose and depe nd on the susceptibility of indi v idua l ce ll types [32).
Acro le in-induced apoptos is is c learl y ce ll type depende nt. ln ne utrophil s, low doses
of ac ro le in were shawn to inhibit caspase-8 act ivity [57 ; 58]. Di ffe rent studi es have
re ported variab le findi ngs in that acro le in ca n e ither cause o r in hibi t apoptos is, o r
ca use predominantly necros is/oncos is rather than apoptos is . Fo r example, acro le in
(25 ~LM) caused apoptos is in iso lated human a lveo lar macrophages, detected by
12 1
morpholog ical changes and DNA fragmentation a1ter 24 h [42]. Acrolein act ivated
the mitochondri al pathway of apoptos i in Cl-I O cell s [45 ]. Acro lein stimulated
apoptos is in the human lung epitheli al ce ll line HBE 1, as indicated by externali sation
of pho phatidylserine and DNA fragmentati on 24 h a lter a 30 min exposure to 10 to
25 ~LM acrolein [43 ]. Exposure to 50 ~tM acrolei n fo r 24 h induced aty pica l apoptos is
in primary cultures of human keratinocytes [44]. ln human neutrophil s, however,
acrole in (25 ~LM) inhibited the consti tutive pathway of apoptos is [2 1]. ln proB
lymphoid cell s and human neutrophil s, the ce l! death pathway was predominantly
oncos is/necros is, with only low levels of apopto is occurring at lower doses ( < 10
~M) [57; 58]. These va ri able resul ts could be cl ue to differences in bi ochemi ca l
fac tors determin ing ce l! dea th pathway in cl iffe renr ce l! types, wh ich incl ude non
proli fe rat ing primary ce l! cul tures and cell s in vo lved in immune responses, as weil as
proli fe rating cancer ce l! !ines.
ATP appears to play an acti ve role in detennin ing the type of cel! death
occurring under various metaboli c condi tions [62]. Dep leti on of ce llular ATP levels
by an ATP synthase inhibitor, o li gomycin , med iated the switch from apoptos is to
necros is in leukemi c ce lls [63 ]. Cell s treated with known apoptos is inducers,
staurosporin (STP) and anti-CD95, died exc lusively by necros is when pretreated with
o li gomyc in . Apoptoti c characteri stics were not observee! when cell s were depleted of
ATP below a criti cal leve!, but were restored upon glucose addi tion. Severa! studies
have reported the inhibitory effect of acro le in on TP prod ucti on. Exposure to 10 uM
acrolein fo r 24 h in rat pneumocyte Il L2 cell s [64], and fo r 4 h in myocytes [65], led
to decreased ATP levels. lntracellular ATP concentrations were also decreased in
murine FL5. 12 proB lymphocytes, reaching 0% o l: control 24 h afte r a 30 min
exposure to 40 ~LM acrolein [57] and in mi tochondr ia of neuronal PC 12 ce ll s 24 h
afte r exposure to 10 ~M acrolein [66]. The type of ce l! death in proB lymphocytes
and PC 12 ce li s und er these conditions was main ly necros is. To our knowledge, ATP
leve ls have not been determined under conditions where acro lei n induces apoptos is.
122
The antioxidant glutathi one appears to have an important role in the
detox ification of acrolei n [67]. This react ion can be spontaneo us or catalyzed by the
detox ifi cation enzyme glutathione S-transferase ( · T) [68] via the reacti on of
Michael addition [69]. Moreover, acrole in can al o be metabo lized by th e rat liver
a ldo-keto reductase [70] and by aldehyde dehydrogenase [7 1].
Acro le in is generated as a product of the enzymatic act ion of amine ox idases
on natura lly occurring polyamines such as sperrnine and spermidine [7; 72].
Polya mines play an essential role in cellular proliferati on and differentiation [73).
The reason fo r the generation of a hi ghly tox ic product as acrolein from such a basic
and important phys iological process is certainl y in triguing and is not presently
known.
ln conclusion, this is the first detailed study to demonstrate that the
mechani sm of acrolein-induced apoptos is is medi ated by the Fas receptor pathway as
we il as the m itochondrial pathway in pro! iferat ing ce li . The se fi nd ings are relevant
to the tox icity of acrolein in many contexts, in c ludin g the pharmacological act ion
and/or tox ic side effects of the anti cancer agent cyc lophosphamide, the regul at ion of
ce llular proliferation and tumor growth by po lyamines, Alzheimer' s di sease, as weil
as the toxic ity of environmental exposures to low do e of acrole in .

RÉSUMÉ
L'acroléine, qui est un aldéhyde a ,l3-insaturé généré par la peroxidati on lipidique,
peut affecter les ti ssus et les ce llules et causer plusieurs patholog ies. L ' augmentation
des aldéhydes j oue un rôle important dans la pathogenèse de plusieurs maladies
notamment l ' Alzheimer, l 'athérosc lérose et le diabète. Quelques études ont démontré
que l ' acroléine active les MAPKs et d'autres ont rapporté que l ' acroléine induit
l ' apoptose. Cependant, aucune étude n'a examiné le lien entre l 'activation des
M A PKs et l 'apoptose induite par l 'acroléine. Ici, on montre pour la première fois que
l ' apoptose induite par l ' acroléine est dépendante des M A PK. Une heure d' exposition
à l ' acroléine a induit une forte phosphory lation de ERK, p38 et le substrat de JNK, c

ABSTRACT
Acrolein , which is a highly reactive a ,f3-un saturated a ldehyde generated by lipid
perox idation, can affect cell s and ti ssues and cause va ri ous di sorders. lncreased levels
of un saturated aldehydes pl ay an important role in the pathogenes is of a number of
human di seases such as Alzheimer's disease, ath erosc leros is and diabetes . Acrolein is
a hi ghly ubiquitous toxic environmental pol lutant. Because of hu man exposure, there
is a need fo r investi gating the mechani sms in vo lved in acrolein tox icity at the ce llular
and molecular levels. Acrolein can induce ce l! death by apoptos is, although the
mechani sms are not entirely clear. The present study investigates whether mitogen
acti vated protein kinases (MAPKs) play a ro le in acti va tion of apoptos is by acrolein .
Our findin gs show that acrolein-medi ated apoptos i is in fact MAPK-dependent in
Chinese hamster ovary ce ll s. The MAP fa mil y kin ases, including ERK and p38
kinase, and the transcription factor c-Jun were ali acti vated by phosphorylation after 1
h exposure to acrolein. Phosphorylation of ERK and p38 kinases and their blockade
by an ERK inhibitor, U01 26, or a p38 inhibitor, SB203580, respective ly, suggested
th at acti vation of apoptos is by acrolein is ERK- and p38-dependent. Thus, blockade
of ERK and p38 inhibited chromatin condensation, caspase-7 and -9 activat ion as
we il as ICA D cleavage induced by acrolein . .JNK and AKT kinases seem to be
implicated in survival pathways aga inst acro lein in sult, s ince their respective
inhibitors, SP600 125 and L Y294002/Wortmannin switched th e mode of ce l! death
from apoptos is to total necrosis. Finally, acrolein induced phosphorylati on of the pro
apoptotic factor p53 whi ch is responsible fo r transcription of pro-apoptotic factors
such as Bax and Fas ligand . These results prov ide new info rmati on demonstrating the
implicati on of MAPKs and AKT in acro lein-induced apoptos is, and thi s info rmation
may be useful fo r understanding the pathogenes is of a number of ti ssue di seases and
environmental tox icity in response to acrolein.

INTRODUCTION
Acrolein, an unpleasant and troubl esome by-product of overheated organic
matter, occurs as a ubiquitous pollutant in the environment, ari sing from incomplete
combustion of plasti c materials, forest ti res, cigarette smoking and overheated
cooking oils [Beauchamp et al. , 1985]. Acrolein is also a metabolite fo rmed in the
biotransformation of ally! compounds and the widely u ed anticancer drug
cyc lophosphamide. ln addition, acrolein is used industrially as a startin g materi al for
acrylate polymers and in the producti on of acryli c ac id , and as a herbicide
[Ghilarducci and Tjeerdema, 1995] . Since acrole in was identifi ed as one of the
"unnatural" components of tobacco smoke [J ohn tone and Plimmer, 1959], a number
of reports have appeared describing the damaging effects of acrole in on the trachea l
c ili atory movement [Kensler and Batti sta, 1963] and the pulmonary wa ll [I zard and
Liberman, 1978] .
Acrolein is one of the taxie by-products of endogenous lipid peroxidation,
resulting from ox idative stress, together with the aldehyde 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal
(H E) [Adams and Klaidman, 1993; Uchi da 1999]. Ox id ati ve stress has been
implicated in chronic neurodegenerative di sorder uch as Alzheimer's disease
[Ca lingasan et al ., 1999] . Lipid perox idati on is increased in Alzheimer' s di sease
[Ramassamy et al., 1999] and it has been suggested that a ldehyde by-products such
as acrolein and 4-1-fN E could be involved in caus ing ce llular and ti ssue damage.
Acrolein protein adducts have been demon trated in Alzheimer' di sease [Ca lingasan
et al., 1999], di abetic nephropathy [Suzuki and M iyata, 1999] and atheroscleros is
[Uchida et al. , 1998]. These pathophys iologies have a li been associated with
increased lipid perox idation and alkylation of prote in res idues.
lts hi gh reactivity indeed make acrole in a dangerou sub tance for the living
ce l! . lt ha been shawn that acrolein redu ces the co lony-fo rming effi ciency of
mammalian ce ll s, fonns cyclic adducts with nucleosides in vitro and is a patent
mutagen [Esterbauer et al. 199 1]. Among ali of the a, ~-un aturated a ldehydes,
!54
acrole in is by fa r the strongest electroph ile and therefo re, shows the h ighest reacti vity
with nucleophiles, such as the sulfhydryl group of cyste ine, imidazo le group of
hi st idine and ami no group of lys ine [Esterbauer et al., 199 1 ].
Apoptos is is a naturally occurring proce s that plays an essential rote in
deve lopment and the maintenance of homeostas is in multi ce llular organi sms [Saraste
and Pulkki 2000; Hale et al. , 1996]. Apoptos is has many important repercuss ions in
human health. Ce l! accumulati on via in sufft cient apoptos is can contribute to
conditions such as cancer, infl ammation and auto immune di sease. ln contrast,
excess ive apoptos is can play an important role in neurodegeneration, AIDS, eye
di sorders, osteoporos is and heart fa ilure [Fadeel et al., 1999; Wil son, 1999].
A family of cytoso lic cysteine proteases, the ca pases, pl ay an essential rote in
the executi on of apoptos is. The caspases are di vid ed into api cal (-2, -8, -9 and -1 0)
and executioner subsets (-3, -6 and -7) [Sa lvesen and Di xit, 1997]. The zymogens or
pro-enzymes of apical caspases (-8 and -1 0) are recruited by spec ifi e adaptor
molecul es at the cytoso lique face of death receptors, whereas that fo r caspase-9 is
acti vated vi a a post-mitochondrial route [Denecker el al., 200 1]. Downstream events
in the apoptoti c cascade in clude the caspase-med iated cleavage of cytoplasmic,
cytoskeleta l and nuclear protein substrates such as polyA DP-ribose polymerase
(PARP), lamins, gelso lins, fodrins and inhibitor of caspase acti vated DNase (ICAD) .
The ce ll then exhibits the characteri stic morpholog ical fea tures of apoptosis such as
chromatin condensation, cytoskeletal changes, nuclear membrane breakage, ce il
membrane blebbing and formati on of apoptotic bod ies [Wilson, 1999; Ea rn shaw,
1995]. Apoptotic bodies are then phagocytozecl by macrophages or neighborin g cell s,
thus avo iding inflammatory damage to adj acent ce ll s and ti ssues.
While numerous candidate genes pl ay ing important roles in the signaling of
apoptos is have been identifted, the mechani sms and orcier in which they interact to
transduce signais are poorly understood. Severa! !ines of ev idence have suggested
that members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MA PK) fa mily are invo lved in
155
apoptot ic signaling, as we il as in control of growth and differentiation [M arshall ,
1994; Waskiewicz and Cooper, 1995; Fanger el al., 1997]. To date, three MAPK
(serine/threonine kinases) cascades that converge on extrace llular signal-regul ated
protein kinase (ERK.l /2), c-Jun N-tenninal kinases (JNKs), and p38 MAP kinase
(p38) have been weil characterized. These MAPKs are regulated by distinct stimuli
[Huot et al., 1997]. ERK is predominantly act iva tecl by growth factors or mitogens
leading to cell differenti ation, growth, and survi va l. On the other hand, JNK and p38
are preferentially act ivated in response to var ious cytotoxic stresse , including tumor
necros is factor (TNF)-a , hyd rogen peroxide (H20 2), UV li ght, X-rays, heat shock and
growth factor- or serum-withdrawa l, resulting in infl ammation and apoptos is [Huot et
al., 1997; Verheij et al. , 1996].
Apoptos is signal-regulating kinase (ASK) 1s a MAP kinase kinase kinase
(MAPKKK), which is an upstream factor that activates the SEK I-JNK and
MKK3/MKK6-p38 signaling cascades [l chij o et al. , 1997]. Overexpress ion of ASK 1
in ep ithelial ce ll s in low serum conditions induced ce ll death with apoptotic features
and ASK I-K709R, a kinase-inactive mutant of AS K 1, reduced TNF-a-induced
apoptos is, suggesting that ASKJ is a pivotai component in the mechani sm of
cytok ine- and stress- induced apoptosis [H ayakawa et a l. , 2006; lchijo et al., 1997;
Tobiume et al. , 1997].
AKT is a proto-oncogene which is acti vated by the phosphatidylinos ito l 3-
kinase (P13-K) surviva l pathway. Therefore, AKT promotes surviva l of cancer ce ll s
and tumor growth. AKT inhibits apoptos is by pho phorylat ing a number of
downstream targets. Thi s includes phosphory lat ion of the pro-apoptotic protein Bad
and its degradation by the protein 14-3-3, therefore remov ing its inhibitory effect on
th e ce ll survival factor Bel-XL at the mitochondri al membrane [Franke el al. , 1997;
Bellacosa et al., 1998]. Thus, the inhibition of AKT activation induces apopto is of
cancer ce ll s.
156
p53 is a tightly regulated transcripti on factor thar induces ce l! cycle arrest or
apoptos is in response to cellular stress, such as DNA damage [Evan and Littl ewood,
1998]. First described in 1979, and initi all y be lieved Lo be an oncogene, p5 3 was the
fïrst tumour suppressor gene to be identified. p5 3 functi ons to eliminate and inhibit
the proli fe rat ion of abnormal cell s, thereby preventing neoplastic development.
Ab rogation of the negative growth regul atory functions of p53 occurs in many,
perhaps ali , human tumours. The p53 signaling pathway is in ' standby ' mode under
normal ce llular cond itions. lt is now clea r that a number of phosphorylat ion sites on
p53 are a ltered after DNA damage, and such phosphorylat ion events have been
shown to result in alterat ions in p53 that make it more stabl e and more act ive
[Voudsen, 2000]. As a transcription factor, phosphorylated p53 induces transcription
of proapoptotic proteins such as Bax and Fas li gand and represses those of
antiapoptotic proteins such as Bcl-2 [Bras et al., 2005].
Given the widespread exposure of humans and other species to acrolein , it is
important to improve our understand ing of its mechani sms of tox icity. Acrole in has
been shown to induce apoptos is [Tanel and A veri 11 -Bates, 2005 ; Li et al., 1997;
Nard ini et al., 2002; Takeuchi et al. , 200 1 ], as we il as act ivat ion of MAPKs
[Ranganna et al ., 2002; Takeuchi et al., 200 1; Misonou et al., 2005; Pugazhenthi et
al. , 2006; Fi nkelstein et al., 200 1; Deshmu kh et al. , 2004]. 1-l owever, the implicat ion
of MAPK prote ins in the act ivation of acro lein-induced apoptosis has not been
invest igated. Since acrolein is a DNA damaging agent [Kail asam and Rogers, 2006],
it could likely cause activation of p53 . With the aim of advancing our know ledge
about this toxic compound, the present study investigates whether acrolei n-induced
apoptosis is mediated by MAPK proteins and 1 or the p53 transcripti on factor.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Cel/ culture
CHO ce ll s (A uxB I) [Ling and Thompson, 1974] were grown in monolayer in
minimum essential medium-Alpha (a-M EM) (G ibco Canada, Burlington, ON) plus
10% feta l bov ine serum (FBS) (G ibco Canada) and 1% penic illin (50 units/mL)
streptomyc in (50 ~Lg/mL) (F low Laboratories, Miss issauga, ON), in ti ssue culture
flasks (Sarstedt, St Laurent, QC), in a humidifi ed atmosphere of 5% C02 in a water
jacketed incubator at 37°C [Bates and Mackillop, 1986]. The ce lls were grown to
near confluence and then incubated for 24 h with fresh culture medium . Confluent

NaCI, 0.01 M sod ium phosphate, 0.015 M sod ium citrate) , washed by centri fugation
( 1 OOOg, 3 min) and resuspended in a-MEM plus 10% FBS for experimental studi es.
In il ibitor treatment
To investigate the effect of MAPK inhibitors on acrolein-induced apoptos is,
confluent cel! cultures were preincubated for 1 h with one of the fo llowing inhibitors
prior to addit ion of acrolein: 5 ~M SB203580 (p38 inhibitor) [Deschesnes et al. ,
200 1; Me loche et al. , 2000], 10 ~M UO 126 (M EK 1/2 act ivity inh ibitor) [Favata et al. ,
1998], 50 ~M PD98059 (inhibitor of MEKI /2) [Daoud et al., 2005], 50 ~g/ 1
Ly294002 (Pl3-K inhibitor) [Me loche et al., 2000], 100 11 M Wortmannin (PI 3-K
inhibitor) [Meloche et al., 2000] , or 10 ~M SP600 125 (JN K inhibitor). Ali of the
inhibitors were purchased from Calbiochem (La .J o ll a, CA) and they were present
during acrolein incubation.

1997]. The kinetic reaction was started after additi on of 25 ~LI of the appropriate

Caspase-9 activity was measured by cleavage of the substrate Ac-LEHD-AFC to
produce 7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoum arin (AFC) with Àmax exc itation at 4 15 nm
and Àmax emiss ion at 490 nm . Caspase-8 acti vity was measured by cleavage of the
fl uorogenic substrate Z-lETD-am ino-4-trifluoromethylcoum arin ( caspase-8 substrate
11 ) to produce AFC. Caspase-7 acti vity was measured by cleavage of the flu orogeni c
substrate 1 MCA-VDQVDGWK(DNP)-NH2 with Àmax exc itati on at 325 nm and
Àmax emiss ion at 395 nm.
Statistica/ analysis
Stati stical di ffe rences between contro l and treated groups were determined
using a one-way ANOVA which measures the linear contrast of means. An
adjustment was made to limit the famil ywi se error rate (FWE) to 5% by ca lcul ating
an adjusted p-va lue which is a simulated based p-va lue obtained from the multi vari ate
t di stribution (number of simulati ons = 1 000 000) [Westfa ll et a l. , 1999]. Then, the
16 1
Bonferroni-Holm method (a stepwise method) was used to contro l the FWE. For
compari son between a treatment w ith ac ro le in in presence o r absence of an inhibitor,
stati stical differences were determined by a one-way ANOV A fo ll owed by Dunnet
bilateral adjustment. For Fig. 7 a two-tailed unpaired Student's t test was used .
Values are expressed as means ± SEM. Differences were cons idered

RESULTS
Acrolein-induced apoptosis is mediated by activation ofA1APK~·
lt was reported that acro le in can act ivate MAPKs but their role in induction of
apoptosis is not known. Therefore, thi s study in vest igates the poss ible implication of
MAPK act ivation in acrolein-induced apoptosis. The changes in phosphorylation of
these kinases were examined following acrole in treatment in CHO cell s by Western
blot analys is using phospho-specific antibod ies. Treatment of ce ll s with acrolein (30,
50 fmol /cell ) for 1 h caused phosphorylat ion of both p38 (F ig. 1 A, 1 C) and ERK
MAPKs (F ig. 1 D, 1 F). The express ion of p3 8 (F ig. 1 A, 1 8) and ERK J /2 (F ig. 1 D,
1 E) in acrolei n-treated ce ll s did not change from the control. Although severa!
pub! ications have demonstrated th at activation of the J K and c-jun pathway leads to
ce l! death in brain ischemia [Whitfield et al. , 200 1; Domanska-Janik et al ., 2004], the
role of c-jun express ion and activation by extrace llular stimuli such as acro lein has
not been studied. Thus, we examined by Western blot analys is the phosphorylation of
the downstream JNK substrate c-jun by u in g anti-c-j un and phospho-c-jun
antibodies, respectively. Exposure to acrole in caused phosphorylat ion of c-j un (Fig.
1 G, 1 L), whereas expression of c-jun ( 1 G, 1 H) was unchanged.
Apoptos is signal regulating-kinase (AS K 1) is act ivated in response to various
cytotoxic stresses including TNF, Fas and reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen
peroxide. lt is an important upstream act ivator of .I NK and p38. Since, p38 and c-jun
were phosphorylated by acrolein, we asses ed wheth er acrol ein could act ivate ASK 1.
lndeed, there was a signifi cant increase in expre ion of ASK 1 upon exposure of ce ll s
to acrole in for 1 h (Fig. 1 K).
Given that severa! MAPKs were act ivated by phosphorylation fo ll owing
exposure to acrolein, we subsequently determined whether there is a link between
MAPKs and induction of apoptosis. Therefore, we examined whether inhibition of
these kinases would result in inhibition of acro lein-induced apoptosis. Exposure of
,-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------,
163
ce ll s to 50 fm ol/cell of acrole in fo r 4 h caused both necros1s and chromatin
condensati on (F ig. 28), a later event in the apoptoti c cascade, relative to untreated
con trois (F ig. 2A). Pretreatment of ce ll s with S8 203580, a p38 inhibitor (F ig. 2C) , or
UO 126, an inhibitor of ERK (F ig. 20 ), significantly reduced the number of acrolein
induced apoptotic cell s from 29.26 ± 8. 12 to 5.04 ± 0.9 1 and 7.82 ± 1.67, respectively
(F ig. 2G). Moreover, SB203580 and UO 126 affo rded protection aga inst necrotic cell
death induced by acrole in (Fig. 2C, 20 , 21-I) . P098059, another ERK inhibitor, a lso
redu ced acrolein-induced apoptosis (Fig. 2E, 2G), but to a lesser extent than the ERK
inhibitor UO 126 . 1-I owever, inhibition of ERK with P098059 did not affect acrolein
induced necrosis (F ig. 2H). When cell s were pretreated with the JNK inhibitor,
SP600 125, acrolein-induced ce ll death was swi tched l0rom apoptos is to total necros is
(F ig. 2F, 2G, 2H). Together, these findin gs suggest th at acrolein-induced activati on of
MAPKs is linked to the inducti on of apoptos is by thi s tox ic compound .
Acrolein-induced caspase activation is mediated by MAPKs
We subsequently investigated whether there could be a poss ible link between
the MA PK signaling cascade and other apoptotic events such as caspase acti vation,
during acrolein-induced apoptos is. lt was shown that caspase-3 is invo lved in MAPK
medi ated apoptos is caused by stress-inducing agents such as cispl atin [1-Iershberger et
al. , 2002]. lt was previously reported that caspases-9 and -7 are invo lved in acro lein
induced apoptos is, while caspase-3 was inhibited (Tanel and Averill-Bates, 2005].
Exposure of cells to 50 fm ol/cell of acrole in caused act iva ti on of initiator caspase -9
(F ig. 3A) and -8 (F ig. 38 ), and executor caspase-7 (F ig. 3C), relati ve to un treated
controls. Pretreatment of ce ll s with a p38 inhibitor, S8203580, the ERK inhibitors,
U0 126 and P098059, or a JNK inhibitor, SP600 125 inhibited acti vation of the
initiator caspase-9 (F ig. 3A), as weil as the effector caspase-7 (F ig. 3C). Furthermore,
ali of the four inhibitors inhibited cleavage of the caspase substrate lCAO by acrolein
(F ig. 30 , 3E). Caspase-8 activation by acrolein was not inhibited by any of the
164
MAPK inhibitors (Fig. 38 ). These results suggest that acro lein-induced caspase
act iva ti on is mediated in part by p38, JNK and ERK MA PKs.
Acrolein induces activation of the AKT survival pathway
Given that acrolein acti va tes the MAP Ks, whi ch are in vo lved in ce llular stress
responses, we subsequently determined wheth er acrole in could affect the survi val
pathways in cells. We examined whether acrolein co uld affect the AKT signaling
pathway. Indeed, exposure of ce ll s to acrole in (30, 50 fm ol/ce ll) resulted in a
signifi cant increase in AKT phosphorylati on (F ig. 4A, 4C), whereas express ion of
total AKT was not affected (F ig. 4A, 48) . It is li ke ly that inhibition of the AKT
surviva l pathway could increase the susceptibility of ce ll s to acrolein-induced cel!
death . The phannaco log ical inhibitors of the PI 3K/AKT signaling pathway,
Ly294002 (F ig. SC) and Wortmannin (F ig. 50), inhibited acrolein-induced apoptos is
(chromatin condensation) and switched the mode of ce l! death f rom apoptos is (F ig.
SB, SE) to near total necrosis (F ig. SC, 50 , SF). Moreover, Ly294002 and
Wortmannin inhibited caspase-9 (Fig. 6A) and -7 acti va ti on (F ig. 6C) by acro le in . In
contrast, these inhibi tors didn ' t affect caspase-8 act ivation by acrole in (F ig. 68 ).
Ly294002 and Wortmannin also inhibited cleavage of !CA O by acrole in (F ig. 60 ,
6E). These findin gs suggest that the acti vat ion of AKT by acrole in may be at !east in
part the result of a defensive response by the ce l! which activates a surviva l pathway
to protect against a cytotox ic aggress ion.
Activation ofp53 during acrolein-induced apoptosis
The ro le of p5 3 as a transcription facto r has been extensively described, as
have many transcripti onal target genes implicated in apoptos is, which include Bcl-2
proteins such as Bax and Bcl-2 [Attardi et al., 2000]. The phosphorylation status of
p53 plays an important role in the pro-apoptoti c act ivity of thi s prote in . Thus, the
abili ty of acrolein to phosphorylate p53 was in vesti gated. Immunoblots using anti-
165
phospho Ser15p53 and an anti-phospho Ser46p53 antibodies indicated that acro lein (50
jmol/cell ) caused p53 phosphorylation (F ig.7) under apoptotic conditions.

DISCUSSION
This study shows for the first time that acrolein-induced apoptos is In
proli fe rating ce lls is in part MAPK-dependent. Acrole in -in duced apoptosis was
described prev iously in va ri ous ce l! types [Tane l and Aver iii- Bates, 2005; Li el al.,
1997; Nardini et al. , 2002; Takeuchi el al., 200 1]. Acti vat ion of MAPKs by acrolein
was also reported in va rious ce l! types [Ranga nn a el al. , 2002; Takeuchi et al., 2001 ;
Misonou et al. , 2005; Pugazhenthi et al., 2006 ; Fin ke lste in et al., 2001 ; Deshmukh et
al., 2004]. However, previous studies did not address any poss ible lin ks between
activation of MAPK proteins in acrolein-induced apoptos is. Thi s study clearly shows
that acrolein-induced apoptosis occurred through acti vati on of the ASK llp38, and
ERK signaling pathways as upstream events fo r act ivat ion of apoptotic molecules
such as caspases -9 and -7, cleavage of ICA D and cond ensation of nuclear
condensati on.
Acrolein was shown to mediate apoptos is vi a the initiator caspase-9 and the
effector caspase-7, rather th an through caspase-3, in CHO ce li s [Tan el and A veri 11-
Bates, 2005]. Severa! studi es have reported that acrole in inhibi ts acti vity of the major
effector caspase-3 [Tanel and Averiii- Bates, 2005 ; Kern and Kehrer, 2002;
Finkelstein et al., 2005], probabl y through inhibition of its act ive site cysteine
res idue. The effecto r caspase-7 can be acti va ted by both of the initi ator caspases,
caspase-8 and caspase-9 [Siee et al., 1999]. 8oth of the effector caspases -3 and -7
share similar protein substrates and therefore caspase-7 is able to cleave caspase
substrates such as ICAD and liberate CA D, whi ch is responsible for chromatin
condensati on du ring the execution phase of apoptos is [Houde et al., 2004].
Three di stinct MAPKs, JNK, p38, and ERK have been characterized and
reported to be invo lved in apoptos is in many di ffe rent paradi gms of ce llular tox icity.
Although MAPKs play an important role in apoptos is, thi s is th e first study to show
that th ey play a role in acrolein-induced apoptosis. Acrolein was able to acti vate the
JNK substrate, c-jun, by phosphorylati on. 1-1 0\.vever, inhibition of JNK acti vity by
167
SP600 125 blocked acrolein-induced apoptosis, but in stead, the mode of ce ll death
was switched to necrosis. ln addition, SP600 125 inhibited acrole in-induced activat ion
of caspases-7 and -9 as we il as JCAD cleavage. Thi s can be expected since caspases
are not implicated in ce ll death by necros is. Our findin gs how th at JNK is act ivated,
but appears to be implicated in a ce ll surviva l ra ie under acro lein aggression. Others
studies showed that JNK is invo lved in apoptos is of lung carcin oma cells [Chuang et
al. , 2000] and murine macrophage cells [Kim and Sharm a, 2004], while it was not
assoc iated with apoptosis in HT4 neuronal ce ll s [Rockwe ll et al. , 2004] where p38
plays a major role. Moreover, JNK is also important fo r the deve lopment and urviva l
of macrophages [Himes et al. , 2006]. Thus, the fu nction of JNK in apoptos is is
controversial since it can play a role both as an activator of apoptos is or in surviva l
pa th ways.
The MAPK p38 also appears to be implicated in the activat ion of acrolein
induced apoptos is. Acrolein induced activat ion of p38 by phosphorylation in ce lls and
SB203580, a p38 kinase inhibitor, inhibited acro lein-induced apoptos is through
inhibition of chromat in condensat ion. Furthermore, SB203580 inhibited activation of
caspases-9 and -7 by acro lein and cleavage of the caspase substrate ICA D. There was
no increase in ce ll death by necros is, as was the case fo r J K inhibition, but rather a
clecrease. These findings indicate that p38 plays a pro-apoptotic role in acrolein
inducecl apoptos is. Although stress stimuli usuall y act ivate p38, which can lead to
apoptos is in sorne cellular models, it seems to be in·e levant in others. Act ivat ion of
p38 was required for apoptos is induced by cadmium, trop hi c facto r withdrawa l and
ischemia [Ga lan el al., 2000; Kummer et al. , 1997; Mackay and Mochly-Rosen,
1999]. On the other hand , SB203580 inhibition of p38 was unab le to prevent
apoptos is induced by UV and S-nitrosog lutathione [Franklin et al. , 1998 ; Ca ll sen and
Brune, 1999], whi ch highlights the contrad ictory co rrelat ion of p38 with apoptos is.
Sim i !ar con trad ictory results were obta ined in a recent study in HT4 neuronal ce li s,
where inhibition of p38, but not JNK, blocked apoptosis induced by cadmium
168
[Rockwell et al. , 2004] . This is consistent with our study, where inhibition of p38, but
not JNK, blocked acrolein-induced apoptos is. These di crepancies suggest the
ex istence of marked di ffe rences in regul ati on of th e stress re ponses depending on
ce l! types, albe it it is difficult to explain these diffe rence at the moment. Whether
JN K and 1 or p38 is implicated in apoptos is co ul d a lso depend on th e particular
ce llular insult in a given cel! type.
ln additi on to activation by a vari ety of growth factors, cytokines, and
mitogens, ERKs are also known to be acti vated by cytotox ic insults. This study
shows that ERK seems to be implicated in induction of apoptos is by acro lein.
Acrole in induced phosphorylation of ERK and the inhibiti on of its acti vity by UO 126
and PD98059, inhibi ted acrolein-induced apoptos is, characte rized by decreased
chromatin condensation. Moreover, UO 126 and PD98059 inhibited activation of
caspase-9 and -7 and cleavage of !CA O by acrolein . PD 98059 and UO 126 are MEK
inhibitors, and both are useful for probing the role of MEK in various biologica l
processes, particularly those involving activati on of the downstream substrate ERK.
Both inhibitors are noncompetitive with respect to the downstream MEK substrates
adenos ine triphosphate (ATP) and ERK [Favata et al. , 1998]. Although the binding
sites fo r PD 98059 and UO 126 on MEK 1 appear to over lap. their mechani sms of
action d iffe r [Dudley et al., 1995; Fava ta et al., 1998]. UO 126 is a direct inh i bi tor of
MEK activity, whereas PD 98059 inhibits MEK acti vati on. Therefore, UO 126 is a
much stronger inhibitor of the ERK pathway [Dudley et al., 1995; Favata et al.,
1998]. Researchers can exploit the di fferences and similarities of these two
compounds. For example, if an effect is inhi bited by both of these structura lly and
mechani st ically di stinct inhibitors, a much stronger argument can be made fo r MEK
play ing a ro le, than if only a single inhibitor was used. Furtherm ore, the se lect ivity of
PD 98059 fo r MEKI over MEK2 compared to the lack of preference fo r e ither by
UO 126 can be exploited to probe the relati ve roles of the two kinases. Cellular ERK
activation e ither inhibits or causes no effect on apoptos i in some cel! types [Chuang
169
et al. , 2000; Ga lan et al. , 2000], but enhances apoptos is in others [Lee et al. , 2006 ;
Ru ffe ls et al., 2004; Yang et al., 2004] . Even in th e same ce l! type, the role of ERK
act ivat ion is like ly to di ffe r, depending on ce llular in sults. ln SH-SYSY human
neuroblastoma ce ll s, for example, hydrogen peroxide induced apoptos is which was
inhibited by an ERK inhibitor [Ruffe ls et al. , 2004], whil e cadmium caused no
changes in ERK activation in the same ce l! line [Kim et al. , 2005]. Thi s suggests that
different cytotoxic insults are li kely to be linked to di ffe rent signaling molecules.
Among the MAPK kinase kinases (MAPKKKs) , ASK 1 is known to be
act ivated in response to various cytotox ic stresses, in cluding reactive oxygen spec ies
(ROS). Acrolein causes severe depletion of th e antiox idant glu tathi one [Kern and
Kehrer, 2002], which could lead to an increase in ce llular ox idat ive stress . lndeed,
acrole in caused an increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species in brain
mitochondria [Luo and Shi , 2005]. Thio l compounds uch as glutathione and N
acety lcyste ine were shown to reduce acrolein-induced tox icity [Nunoshiba and
Yamamoto, 1999]. ASKJ can induce act ivat ion of the MAPKs, JNK and p38, as we il
as apoptos is [Tobiume et al., 2001 ]. Our findin gs clearly show that ASK I was
induced under conditions where acrolein can cau e apopto is. ASK 1 could be
responsible fo r activation of its downstream ta rgets p38 and JNK in acrolein-induced
apoptos is.
AKT (prote in kinase B or PKB) has been identifi ed as a downstream target of
growth factor receptor activation. ft is probab ly the most characterized kinase known
to promote cel! survival and to play a signifi cant ro le in glucose metabolism [Faber et
al. , 2006]. AKT was phosphorylated by acrole in and it inhibition by the inhibitors,
L Y294002 and Wortmannin , switched th e mode of ce l! death from apoptosis to
necros1s. LY294002 and Wortmannin are both inhi bitors of the lipid-mod ify ing
enzy mes known as phosphoi nos itide 3-k ina e (P I3-K), and both are useful for
probing the role of the Pl 3-K/AKT pathway in bio log ica l processes [Stei n and
Waterfield , 2000; Frum an, 1998]. Moreover, the e inhibi tors significantly decreased
170
activat ion of caspases-9 and -7, as we il as ICAD c leavage induced by acrolein .
Activation of AKT by phosphorylation prevents the pro-apoptot ic act ion of the Bcl-2
fam ily protein Bad at the mitochondri al membrane, by promoting its degradation .
Bad regulates apoptos is upstream ft·om mitochondri al-med iated caspase-9 act ivation.
These results show that AKT is implicated in the ce l! surviva l response aga inst an
acrole in insult. Akt/PKB is activated in response to many diffe rent growth facto rs,
horm ones, and external stresses such as heat shock and osmolarity [Datta et al. , 1999;
Law lor and Aless i, 200 1; Ta lapatra and Thompson, 200 1; Downward, 1998 ; Braz il
and Hemmings, 200 1).
The last nove l aspect of this study is that acrolein, which is a DNA damaging
agent [Esterbauer et al., 1991 ; Canman et al. , 1998 ; Bulav in et al., 1999], can induce
phosphorylation of p5 3. Our data documentee! for the first time thi s posttranslat ional
modification of p53 at p53 Ser15P and p53 Ser46 in acro lein-treated cell s. The p53
tumor suppressor protein is activated and phosphorylated at different serine residues
such as serine-! 5 and serine-46 in response to va ri ous DNA damaging agents such as
UV rad iat ion [Bulav in et al. , 1999). Phosphorylat ion of p53 on Ser15 reduces binding
of the mdm2 oncogene prod uct to p53 in vitro [Shi eh et al. , 1997], and binding of
mdm2 to p53 promotes rapid degradation of p53 by ta rget in g it fo r proteolytic
degradation, thereby potentia lly controll ing p53 prote in leve ls [Haupt et al. , 1997].
Effectively, acrole in induced p5 3 phosphorylat ion at erine-! 5, and as expected,
serine-46 was also phosphorylated, since act ivated p38 has been shown to target
erine-46 [Bulav in et al. , 1999]. The downstream events mediated by p53 take place
by two major pathways: cell cycle arrest and apo ptos is. As a transcripti on factor,
phosphorylated p53 induces transcripti on of proapoptotic proteins such as Bax and
Fas li gand and represses those of anti apoptotic protei ns uch as Bcl-2 [Bras et al.,
2005].
ln conclusion, the present study identifi ee! p53 , p38 and ERK as key
molecules invo lved in acrolei n-induced apoptosis and that CHO ce ll s appear to use
17 1
the AKT/PKB and the INK MAPK survival pathways to overcome ce ll death induced
by acrolein . These findings are relevant to the tox icity of acro lein in many contexts,
including the pharmacological action and/or tax ie si de effects of the anticancer agent
cyc lophospham ide, the regulation of ce li ular proliferation and tu mor growth by
po lyamines, as weil as the toxicity of environmental expo ures to low doses of
acrolein .

RÉSUMÉ
L 'acroléine est un aldéhyde a, ~-in saturé auquel les hu ma ins sont exposés
dans de multiples situations. C' est un po lluant environnemental qui cause plusieurs
maladies respiratoires et neurodégénérati ves dont l ' A lzheimer. La présente étude
examine l ' hypothèse que le N-acéty lcysté ine (NAC), un précurseur du glutathion,
peut protéger contre la tox icité ce llulaire engendrée par l ' acroléine. L ' expos ition des
ce llules CHO à une concentration non-cytotox ique d'acroléine (4 fmol/ce ll), a
diminué le glutathion intracellulaire de 45 % de on taux initial. Le NAC a augmenté
le ni veau de glutathi on intracellulaire et offert une protecti on contre la cytotoxicité et
l ' apoptose induite par l 'acroléine en inhibant la vo ie mitochondriale. Le NAC a
inhibé la translocation de Bad à la mitochondrie et la baisse du Bcl-2 mitochondriale
induites par l 'acroléine et cec i est démontré par immunobu vardage de type Western .
Par contre, le N AC n'a pas d 'effet sur la libérati on du cytochrome-c et la
translocati on de Bax induites par l ' acroléine. Cependant, le NAC a inhibé la baisse du
potentiel membranaire révé lée par cytométrie de fl ux, le cli vage de la procaspase-9,
l ' activati on des caspases-9, -7 et -8 ainsi que le cli vage de PA RP. L ' inhibition par
N AC de l ' apoptose induite par l ' acroléine a été conf irmée morpholog iquement par la
baisse de la condensation de la chromatine nucléa ire. Ces résultats suggèrent que
NAC pourrait être env isagé comme un antidote pour traiter les gens exposés à
l ' acroléine.

ABSTRACT
Acro lein is a hi ghly electrophilic a ,0-unsatu rated aldehyde to which humans
are exposed in many situations. ft is an environmental po llutant th at is responsible for
multiple respiratory di seases and has been implicated in neurodegenerative di seases
such as Alzheimer' s di sease. The hypothes is of the study is that the antioxidant N
acety lcyste ine (NAC), a precursor of glutathi one, cou Id protect cell s against acrolein
induced apoptos is. Exposure of CHO ce ll s to a non-cytotox ic dose of acrolein (4
fmo l/cell) dep leted intrace llular glutathione to 45% of initial levels. NAC, whi ch
increased intracellular glutathione leve ls by 30%, afforded protecti on aga inst
acrolein-induced cytotoxicity (loss of ce l! pro li fe rat ion) and apoptos is. NAC
protected against apoptos is by dimini shing acrolein-induced act ivat ion of the
mitochondrial death pathway. NAC inhibited acrolein-induced Bad trans locati on
from the cytoso l to the mitochondri a, as weil as Bcl-2 translocation from
mitochondria to the cytoso l, evaluated by Western blotting. HO\.Yever, NAC had no
effect on acrolein-induced Bax translocation to mitochondri a and cytochrome-c
liberation into the cytoso l. Meanwh il e, NAC inhibited depolarisation of
mi tochondrial membrane potential, eva luated by rhodamine fluorescence using flow
cytometry. NAC also inhibited procaspase-9 process ing, act ivat ion of enzymat ic
act ivity of caspases -9, -7 and -8, as weil as PARP cleavage induced by acrolein.
fnhibiti on of acrolein-induced apoptos is using NAC was confirmed morpholog ically
by diminished condensation of nuclear chromatin , eva luated by flu orescence
mi croscopy. These findin gs suggest that NAC could be potentia lly useful as a
protect ive agent for people exposed to acrolein .

INTRODUCTION
Acrolein is a highly reactive, a, ~-unsaturated aldehyde pollutant to which
humans are exposed in multiple situations (Kehrer and Biswa l, 2000) . lt is a major
component of smoke from cigarettes, forest and house tires, and is a constituent of
automoti ve exhaust. lt has been implicated in the deve lopment of atheroscleros is and
va ri ous lung di seases including chronic obstru cti ve pulmonary di sease (Borchers et
a l. , 1999) . ln addition, acrolein is found in the vapeurs of overheated cooking oil
where severe human tox ic exposures have occurred (Beauchamp et a l. , 1985). As one
of the tox ic products of endogenous 1 ipid perox idation (Adams and Klaidman, 1993),
acrole in has been im plicated in chronic neurodegenerative di sorders such as
Alzheimer's di sease (Lovell et a l. , 2002; Pugazhenthi et a l. , 2006) . Acrolein is a
metabolic product of the anticancer drug cyc lophosphamide, where it may be
in vo lved in its therapeuti c effect as we il as its tox ic side effects (Schwartz and
Waxman, 2001 ).
Acrolein tox icity has been demonstrated in many di fferent ce llular systems. lt
is known to induce apoptos is in severa! ce l! types such as keratinocytes (Takeuchi et
al. , 200 1 ), neutrophils (F inkelstein et al. , 2005), cultured neurons (Pugazhenthi et al. ,
2006), and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) ce ll s (Tanel and Averiii-Bates, 2005),
while necros is occurs in others (Luo et al. , 2005; Liu -Snyder et a l. , 2006).
Apoptos is is a phys iolog ica l ce l! dea th process which plays an
important role during development and maintenance of tissue homeostas is (Chandra
et al. , 2000) . The mitochondri al pathway of apoptos is is tri ggered by di fferent
stresses such as growth factor deprivati on, ionizin g radi ati on, corti co-stero ids and
anti cancer drugs . Anti-apoptotic (Bcl-2 and Bel-XL) and pro-apoptotic (Bax, Bad)
members of the Bcl-2 family are thought to control apoptos is by modulating release
of pro-apoptoti c molecules such as cytochrome-c and apoptos is-inducing factor (AJF)
from mitochondri a. Bcl-2-Bax interactions at the outer mi tochondri al membrane are
203
known to pre vent induct ion of the m itochond ria l apoptot ic pathway. T rans locat ion of
Bad to mitochondria is necessary for promoting fo rm at ion of po res cons istin g of Bax
Bax dimers on the outer mitochondri a l membrane, whi ch may be respo nsible for the
re lease of pro-apoptotic factors (Orreniu s et al., 2003). Bad trans location to the
mitochondria removes the inhibitory effect of Bc l-2 on Bax, by in teract ing with Bcl-2
itse lf. The Bcl-2 fami ly has two types of pro-apoptotic members: the Bax and Bak
subfamily and the BH3-only members such as Bid, Bad , Bim/Bod and PUMA
(Huang and Strasser, 2000) . Studies with gene-targeted cell s indicated that the
presence of Bax or Bak is req uired for many fo rm s of apoptos is (L indsten et a l. ,
2000), and each type of cel! needs at !east one of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 fa mily
members to survi ve (Cory and Adams, 2002 ; We i et a l. , 2000). The BH3-only
proteins are activated in response to various apoptot ic stimuli and a re a ble to indu ce
apoptos is through interacting directly w ith Bax and Bak (Wei et a l. , 2000) or binding
to the hyd rophobi e groove of anti-apoptotic members such as Bcl-2 or Bel-xL, thus
removing their inhibitory effect on pro-apoptotic mo lecules such as Bax and Baie
1 nteraction of cytochrome-c and dA TP with apoptos is protease act ivat ing
factor (Apaf-1 ) in the cytosol leads to convers ion of pro-cas pase-9 to active caspase-9
through auto-proteo lyt ic cleavage (Chandra et a l. , 2000). Ca pase-9 subseq uently
activates effector caspases such as caspases-3, 6 and 7 (Sa lvesen and Dixit, 1997).
Effector caspases then c leave cellul ar protein substrates such as polyADP ribose
polymerase (PARP), lamins, ge lso lins, fodr ins and inhibi tor of caspase act ivator
DNase ( ICAD). T he ce l! then exhibits the characteri stic morphological features of
apoptos is such as chromat in condensat ion, cytoske leta l changes, nuclear membrane
breakage, cel! blebbing and fo rmation of apoptot ic bodies, whi ch are th en
phagocytosed by macrophages. E limination of these dying ce ll s avo ids an
intlammatory response in surrounding ti ssues, such as occu rs during necros is.
Acrole in wi ll rapidly bind to and dep lete cellu lar nucleophiles such as
gl utathi one (Heck, 1997). The antioxidant g lu tathione appears to have an important
ro le in the detoxification of acrole in (Finkelstein et a l. , 200 1 ). Ce llular cytotoxic
204
responses to acrolein are likely to depend on in trace llular glutathione leve ls. lt is
li ke ly that increased glutathione leve ls co ul d attenuate tox icity of acrolein . To
increase g lutathione leve ls, the thiol-containing compound , N-acety i-L-cyste ine
(NAC) can be used as a glutathione precursor, since glu tathione itself does not eas ily
penetrate cell s (Roberfroid and Ca lderon, 1995). NAC also increases cysteine poo ls
inside cell s and acts as a thi ol-containing reducing agent (Cotgreave, 1997). Thiol
compounds such as NAC could be potentially useful fo r protecti ng tissues and ce ll s
from acrolein-induced toxicity. Therefore, the objective of thi s study is to investigate
whether NAC can protect ce ll s aga inst acrolein-induced cytotox icity and act ivation of
the m itochondrial pathway of apoptosis.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Cel/ culture
CHO cell s (A uxB I) were grown in monolayer in minimum essential medium
Alpha (o.-M EM) (G ibco Canada, Burlington, ON) pl us 10% feta l bov ine serum (FBS)
(G ibco Canada) and 1% penicillin (50 units/mL)-streptomycin (50 ~Lg/mL) (F low
Laborato ries, Mississauga, ON), in tissue cul ture flasks (Sarstedt, St Laurent, QC), in
a humidified atmosphere of 5% C02 in a water jacketed incubator at 37°C (Lord
Fontaine and Averill , 1999) . The ce ll s were grown to near confl uence and were then
incubated fo r 24 h with fres h cul ture medium . Confluent ce ll s were then harvested
using PBS-citrate, washed by centrifugation ( 1 OOOg, 3 min) and resuspended in o.
MEM for experimental studies .
Pretreatment witlt NAC
Pretreatment of cell s with 1 mM NAC (S igma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO)
was performed fo r 24 h on confluent cell s in monolayer (Lord-Fontaine and Averill ,
1999). Ce lls were subsequentl y washed three times to remove NAC and then
harvested. Intact cell s were tested fo r ce ll survival, total glutathione levels and
ana lysis of apoptos is. Treatment with NAC did not cau e any loss of ce ll viab ility,
determ ined by the trypan blue exclusion assay. Plat ing effic iency did not decrease
relative to contro l cell s.
Dosage ofglutathione
Tota l g lutathione was determined as previously described (Lord- Fontaine and
Averill , 1999) . The rate of formation of 5-thio-2-nitrobenzo ic acid , which is
proportional to total glutathione concentration, was fo ll owed at 412 nm by an
enzymatic assay using gl utathi one red uctase. Samp le va lues were calculated from a
standard curve of nm ol glutathione versus rate and expressed as nmol/ 106 ce li s.
206
Clonogenic cytotoxicity assay
Cytotoxicity was eva luated as the ab ility of ce l! to proliferate to form
macroscop ic co loni es after a tax ie in ult with acro lein , using a clonogenic ce l!
survival assay (Lord-Fontaine and Averill, 1999). Ce li s ( 1 05/mL) were incubated with
acrole in (A ldrich Chemical Co, Milwaukee, Wl), in a-MEM containing 10% FB for
1 h at 37 °C. Cytotox icity was expressed as the mean number of macroscopic
co loni es (>50 cell s) obtained relative to the mean number of co lonies obtained in the
control.
MoJyJito/ogical analysis of apoptosis
To vi ualize nuclear morphology and chromatin condensation, ce ll s were
incubated with acro lein for 4 h and then apoptot ic ce ll s were tained with 1-loechst
(33258) (0.06 mg/mL) (Tane l and Averi ii -Bates, 2005). Propid ium iodide (P l) (50
~tg/mL) was added to stain necrotic ce ll s. Observati ons were made by fluorescence
microscopy (Carl Ze iss Ltd, Montrea l, QC) and photographs were taken by digital
camera (camera 3CCD, Sony DXC-950P, - mpix lmaging lnc, Miss issauga, ON).
Images were analysed by Northern Eclipse oftware. The fractions of apoptotic and
necrotic ce lls were determined relative to total ce ll s (obta ined using bright field
illumination) . A minimum of 600 ce ll s was counted per di sh.
Determination of ca spa se activity by fluoresceuce spectroscopy
Freshl y harvested cell s (0.5 x 1 06) were incubated with acrolein in a-MEM at
37°C. Cells were lysed by freezing at -20°C for 20 minutes and reaction buffer (20
mM piperazine-N,N'-bis(2-ethanesul fo nic ac id) (P l PES), 100 mM a Cl, 10 mM
dithiothreitol , 1 mM EDTA, 0. 1% 3-[(3-cholamidopropy l)dimethylammonio ]-2-
hydroxy-1-propanesulfonic acid (Cl-l APS) , 10% ucrose, pH 7.2) was added
(Stennicke and a lvesen, 1997) . The kinetic reaction was started after addit ion of the
appropriate ca spa e su bstrate at 3 7°C using a spectrofluori meter ( pectra Max
207
Gemini , Molecular Dev iees, Sunnyva le, CA) (Ta nel and Averiii-Bates, 2005).
Ca pase-7 acti vity was measured by cleavage of the flu orogeni c substrate 1 MCA
VDQYDGWK(DNP)-NI-b (Ca lbiochem, La .J a ll a, CA) with À.max excitati on at 325
nm and À.max emiss ion at 395 nm . Caspase-8 act ivity was measured by cleavage of
the substrate Z-IETD-AFC to produce trifluorocoum arin (AFC) with À.max exc itati on
at 4 15 nm and À.max emiss ion at 490 nm . Caspase-9 acti vity was measured by
cleavage of Ac-LEHD-AFC to produce AFC.
Subcellular fractionation and immunodetection of Bad, Bax, Bcl-2, cytochrome-c,
caspase-9 and PARP
Fo llowing treatment with acrole in , cells were washed in buffer A ( 1 00 mM
sucrose, 1 mM EGTA, 20 mM MOPS, pH 7.4) and resu pended in buffe r B [buffe r A
plus 5% Perco ll , 0.01 % digitonin and a cocktail of protease inhibitors: 10 ~LM
aprotinin, 10 ~LM pepstatin A, 10 ~LM leupeptin, 25 ~M ca l pa in inhibitor I and 1 mM
phenylmethylsul fo nyl flu oride (PMSF)]. After 30 min incubat ion on ice, lysates were
homogenised using a hand patter (Kontes glass CO, Dual! 22, Fisher, QC). Unbroken
ce ll s and nuclei were pell eted by centifugati on at 2500 g fo r 10 min . The supernatant
was centri fuged at 15000 g for 20 min and the re ultant pe ll et was des ignated as the
mitochondrial fracti on. A further centri fugation of the supern ata nt fraction at 1 00 000
g fo r 1 h resulted in a pellet fraction des ignated as the mi crosomal fracti on, whereas
the supernatant was des ignated as the cytoso lic fraction (Samali et al. , 1999) . For
immunodetection of caspase-9 and PARP, who le ce l! lysa tes were used.
Proteins (3 0 ~g) were quantified according to Bradfo rd (Bradfo rd, 1976),
separated using a 15% SDS-polyacrylamide ge l and then transferred to a
polyv inylidene difluoride membrane, as prev iously described (Tanel and Averiii
Bate , 2005). The blots were probed with the fo llow ing primary antibod ies: anti-Bad,
anti- Bax, anti-Bcl-2, anti-caspase-9, ant i-PARP (Sa nta Cruz Biotechnology, Santa
Cruz, CA) or anti-cytochrome-c (BD Biosc iences Canada, Miss issauga, ON).
Secondary an ti bodies ( 1: 1 000) consisted of horseradi sh perox idase (HRP)-conjugated
- - -----------
208
goat anti-mouse, anti-rabbit and anti-goat lgG (B ioso urce, Camarill o, CA). Proteins
were detected using the ECL plus chemiluminescence kit (Perkin Eimer, Boston, MA)
and protein express ion quantified using a scanning la er densitometer (Molecular
Dynamics, Sunnyva le, CA). Purity of mitochondri al and cytoso lic tl·actions was
verified using antibodi es to cytochrome-c ox idase (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and
GSTn 1 (Calbiochem), respecti ve ly. Caspase-9 and PARP express ion in whole ce l!
lysates was quantified using JPGEL software, relati ve to ~-tubulin loading controls.
Flow cytometry analysis of mitochondrial membrane potentia/ (Aiflm)
Freshly harvested ce ils (1 06) were incubated with acrolein, or the pos itive
contro l p -trifluoromethoxy-phenyl-hydrazone (FCCP), in a -M EM fo r 1 h at 37 oc. To measure /).'fm , ce lls were incubated with rhodamine 123 (800 ng/mL) fo r 5 min
(Tanel and Averiii-Bates, 2005) . PT was added to identi fy dead ce ll s. Cell s were
analysed with a FACScan fl ow cytometer equipped with an argon laser emitting at
488 nm (Becton Dickinson, Oxford , UK). Data was acq uired and analysed using
Lys is II software (Becton Dick inson). The mean flu orescence in tensity of 20,000
cell s was ca lculated fo r each sample. Rhodamine 123 fl uorescence was detected on
the FL 1 detector and Pl fluorescence on the FL2 detector. Fo r each sample, only li ve
cell s were selected, and their mean flu orescence in FL 1 was analysed. Apoptotic
ce ll s, which undergo a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, inco rporate
Jess of the rhodamine 123 dye, therefore emi tt ing Jess fluorescence on the FLI
detector. Control measurements of mitochondri al mass were carried using the
flu orescent probe MitoTracker Green (Molecul ar Probes).
Statistical analysis
Stat ist ical di ffe rences between control and treated groups without AC fo r
fi gures 1, 2, 31, 3J, 7D, 9A, 1 OA and 1 OB were determined usin g a one-way ANOV A
209
with a Bonferroni-Holm (a stepwise method) post-test correction fo r multiple
comparisons. An adj ustment was made to limi t the fami lywise error rate (FWE) to
S% by ca lcu lating an adj usted p -value wh ich is a simulated based p-value obtained
from the multivariate t distribution (number of simulat ion = 1000 000) (Westfa ll et
a l. , 1999). Statistical differences between control and treated groups with or without
AC for figu res 1, 2, 31, 31 , 7D, 9A, 1 OA and 1 OB were determined using a two
tailed unpaired Student's t test. Data for figures 4B, 4C, SB, SC, 6B, 6C, 8B, 8C, 9C,
9D, 1 1 B and 1 J C were analysed using a bilateral 1 test. Va lues are expressed as

RESULTS
NA C in/ii bits acrolein-ùuluced cytotoxicity and apoptosis
The antioxidant glutath ione appears to have an important role in the
detox ificati on of acrolein (Finke lstein et a l. , 200 1 ). evertheless, the poss ible
protective effect of antioxidants aga inst acrolein-induced apoptos is is not known.
Therefore, we invest igate whether NAC, a precursor of glutathione, can protect ce lls
aga inst acrolein-induced cytotoxicity and apoptos is. 1 nduction of cytotoxicity (loss of
ce llular pro liferat ion) occurred after a 1 h exposure to acrolein concentrations of 50
fm ol/cell and higher (F ig. 1 ). Exposure to 350 jmol/cell induced 5 logarithms (1 05)
of ce l! killi ng. NAC afforded significant protecti on aga inst cytotoxicity of acrolein .
The protective effect was only partial, as acrolein cytotox icity was not complete ly
prevented.
On the basis of the known reactivity of a,~-un saturated aldehydes such as
acrolein with thiols (Heck, 1997), it is li ke ly that acrole in could medi ate its toxic
effects primarily by depleting ce llular glu tathione and/or by modifying protein
cysteine res idues. lndeed, exposure of ce ll s to acrolein caused rapid and severe
depleti on of GSH (Fig. 2) . GSH leve ls were reduced to 36 % of ini tial leve ls, from
2.28 ± 0.08 to 0.82 ± 0.13 nmol/106 ce ll s, by treatment \·Vith 4 fm ol/ce ll of acrolein
during 30 min . We determined whether NAC could prevent the loss of glu tath ione
foll owing exposure to acrolein, by increas ing glu tathione leve ls. Pretreatment of ce li s
with !mM NAC fo r 24 h effectively increased total intracellular glutathione leve ls in
untreated contro l cell s by about 30%, from 2.28 ± 0.08 nmol/1 06 ce lls to 3.22 ± 0. 17
(F ig. 2). However, NAC parti all y decreased the loss of intrace llular glutathione in
ce li s exposed to a low dose of acro lein ( 4 jmol/ce ll ), but not at h igher concentrati ons
(~ 10 f mol/ce ll ) (F ig. 2) . Even thou gh ini tial leve! of glutathione were elevated,
acro lein st ill caused a severe loss of glu tathione in ce l! pretreated with NAC (F ig. 2).
2 11
Given that NAC protected cells aga inst acrolein-induced cytotox icity (F ig. 1 ),
it is poss ible that NAC could tri gger a change in the type of ce l! death from necros is
to apoptos is. Morphological analys is demonstrates that acrolein induces both
apopto is and necros is in CHO cell s (F ig. 3). Apoptos i was revealed by
condensation of chromatin with the flu orescent probe Hoe cht (b lue) whereas
necrosis was revea led by the flu orescent probe Pl (red). Acrolein (50 fm ol/cell)
induced apoptos is and necrosis in 2 1% and 3.5% of ce li s, respective! y (Fig. 3C, 3 L,
3J). A higher concentration of acrolein ( 100 f mol/ce ll ) switched the mode of ce l!
death from apoptos is (8.5%) to necros is (20%) (Fig. 3D, 31, 3J). We evaluated
whether the NAC-induced increase in leve ls of intrace llul ar glutathione could
attenuate ce l! death induced by acro lei n. When NAC-pretreated cell s were exposed to
50 f mol/cell of acrolein (F ig. 3G, 31), the fract ion of apoptot ic cell s decreased from
21 % to 2%. NAC also diminished necrosis in ce li s exposed to 50 and 100 fm ol/ce ll
of acrolein (F ig. 3G, 3H, 3J). Therefore, NAC increased the threshold leve! of
acrolein for induction of apoptosis from 50 to 100 fmol /ce ll , relative to cell s with
native leve ls of glutathione (Fig. 3C, 3G, 3H, 31). Treatment with NAC alone did not
affect control cell s (F ig. 3E versus 3A). Taken together, these results suggest that
NAC is an effect ive compound to inhibit acrolein-induced cytotoxicity as weil a
acro lein-induced apoptos is.
NA C inhibits acrolein-induced translocation ofBad and Bcl-2
We previously reported that acrolein can induce apoptos is by the
mitochondrial pathway in CHO ce li s (Tanel and A veriii-Bates, 2005). However, the
effect of acrolein on proteins in the Bcl-2 fa mily is not known. Acrolei n cou id alter
the balance between pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptoti c Bcl-2 prote ins at the
mitochondri al membrane. Therefore, we examined whether acro lein could induce the
translocation of Bad, Bax and Bcl-2 between the cytosolic and mitochondri al
subcellular compartments. Exposure to acrole in (20 fmol /cell ) fo r 1 h resulted in
2 12
translocation of the pro-apoptotic prote in Bad from the cytoso l to the mitochondri a
(F ig. 4). Translocation of Bad to mitochondri a was parti ally inhibited by NAC (F ig.
4A, 4B). Acro lein also induced translocation of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax from
th e cytosol to the mitochondri a (Fig. 5) . Hovvever, NAC did not inhibit Bax
translocation, but rather NAC a lone promoted Bax translocati on to mitochondria
from the cyto ol (F ig. 5). ln addition, acro le in induced translocati on of the anti
apoptotic prote in Bcl-2 from mitochondri a (Fi g. 6A, 6B) to the cytoso l (Fig. 6A, 6C).
Thi s was inhibited by NAC. Together, these findin gs indicate that acrole in has a pro
apoptotic effect at the mitochondrialmembrane. NAC played an anti-apoptoti c role at
the mitochondrial leve! by inhibiting acrolein-induced translocation of Bad to
mitochondri a and by maintaining Bcl-2 leve ls at the mitochondri almembrane.
NA C inhibits acrolein-induced depolarisation f~l mitocflondrial membrane
potentia/
The balance between Bcl-2 proteins at the mitochondria l membrane is often a
determinant in the opening of the permeability transition pore (PTP) and loss of
mitochondrial membrane potenti al (MMP) under apoptoti c st imuli . Since NAC can
exert protective, anti-apoptotic effects at the leve! of the mitochondri al membrane, we
examined whether it could prevent mitochondri a l membrane depolari sati on in
acrolein-treated cell s. Acrolein ( 1 0-20 jmol/ce ll ) caused depolarisati on of MMP (Fig.
7C, 70 ). FCCP was used as a pos itive control fo r MM P depolari ati on (F ig. 7 A, 70).
However pretreatment with NAC afforded a signi fica nt leve! of protection aga inst
acrolein-induced mitochondrial depolari sati on (F ig. 7C, 70). NAC alone caused a
small decrease in MMP (Fig. 7B). To veri fy that changes in rhodamine fluorescence
signal were not due to changes in the total mi tochondri al mass, the effect of acrolein
(20 fm ol/cell ), with and without NAC treatment, wa detennined on the flu orescence
uptake of th e redox-insensitive mitochondria l el y MitoTracker Green (F ig. 7E).
There was no ev idence fo r a shift in flu ore cence in tens ity in ce ll s treated with
2 13
acrolein alone, or acrolein and NAC, confirming th at changes in rhodamine
fluorescence were indeed due to changes in MMP, thus ruling out the possibi li ty that
acro le in and/or NAC affected the mitochondrial mas
A decrease in MMP often leads to the release of cytochrome-c from
mitochondria . lndeed, acro lei n (20 fmol /ce ll ) caused release of cytochrome-c into the
cytoso l (F ig. 8). However, NAC did not appear to inhibit thi s effect, but instead
induced a sma ll increase in cytochrome-c leve ls in both th e mitochondrial and
cytoso lic fract ions.
NAC inhibits acrolein-induced activation of caspase-9
ince NAC inhibited acro lein-induced translocati on of Bad and Bcl-2, as weil
as mitochondrial membrane depolarisation, it is likely that NAC could inhibit post
mitochondrial events such as caspase-9 activation. Here we show th at exposure to
acro lein (4-50 fmol /cell ) for 1 h activated the initiator caspase-9 (F ig. 9A), the ftrst
downstream caspase induced via the mitochondri al death pathway. Caspase-9
activation by acro le in was totall y prevented by pretreatment with NAC (F ig. 9A). ln
addition , pretreatment with NAC inhibited the cleavage of procaspase-9 (F ig. 9B, 9C,
90 ) and the generat ion of the p35 active cleavage fragment induced by acrolei n (F ig.
90). These ftndings show that NAC can inhibit acrolein-induced apoptos is at the
post-mitochondrial leve!.
NA C inhibits acrolein-induced activation of caspase-7 and caspase-8, as weil as
PARP cleavage
We next determinee! whether NAC could inhibit other events in the apoptotic
cascade. Acrolein induced act ivat ion of the effector caspase-7 (F ig. 1 OA) and initiator
caspase-8 (F ig. 1 OB), and these events were signiftcantly inhibited in ce ll s that had
been pretreated with NAC. Since caspase-7 was inhibited by NAC, we in vest igated
whether NAC could prevent the cleavage of PARP, whi ch is a downstream substrate
2 14
of ca pase-7. PARP is a key nuclear enzyme in vo lved in DNA repair and has a
complex ro le in ce l! death . Acrole in (20 f mol/cell ) caused cleavage of PARP protein ,
from the full-length 116 kDa form to generate the characteri sti c apoptosis-related 85-
kDa cleavage fragment (Fi g. Il A, Il B, Il C). lndeed, NAC inhibited the cleavage of
PARP induced by acrole in (F ig. 11 A, Il B, Il ).

DISCUSSION
The important new finding of this study is th at NAC, a precursor of the major
in trace llular antioxidant glutathione, is capable of inhibiting acrolein-induced
cytotox icity and apoptosis in proliferating Cl-I O ce ll s. We prov ide new information
on how NAC can inhibit activation of th e mitochondri al pathway of apoptos is by
acrolein.
Recently, we reported that acrolein in duces apoptosi via the mitochondrial
pathway by decreas ing MMP, liberation of cytochrome-c, and acti vati on of caspases-
9 and -7 (Tanel and Averiii-Bates, 2005). This study prov ides new information on the
implication of the mitochondrial patll'vvay in acrolein-induced apoptos is, where Bcl-2
fa mily proteins are critica l regul ators. This i the first study to show that acrolein
stimu lates translocation of the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 prote ins, Bax and Bad, fro m the
cytoso l to mitochondri a, as weil as the translocat ion of anti-apoptotic prote in Bcl-2
from mitochondria to the cytosol. The translocat ion of pro-apoptotic proteins such as
Bax and Bad to mitochondria is an important step in removing the inhibitory effect of
Bcl-2 on apoptos is at the mitochondrial leve!, thus promoting re lease of cytochrome
c.
Acrole in induced a decrease in MMP a we il as liberat ion of cytochrome-c
from mitochondria into the cytosol. The implication of the PTP in acrolein-induced
apoptos is was already demonstrated through inhibition of nu clear changes by
cyclosporine A (Ta nel and Averiii-Bates, 2005), a blocker of opening of the PTP.
Although the mechani sms are not complete ly un derstood, it i considered that
cytochrome c can be released from mitochondri a by severa! mechani sms, including
the PTP, as weil as through channels on the membrane involving Bax-Bax
interactions (Orrenius et al. , 2003). At the post-mi tochondri al leve!, liberation of
cytochrome-c leads to activation of caspase-9 and -7. Caspase-7 is an effector caspase
that cleaves many substrates such as PARP. everal studi es have reportee! that
-------------------
2 16
acro lei n can inhibi t caspase-3 act ivity (Tanel and A veriii-Bates, 2005 ; Fi nkelste in et
a l. , 200 1 ), which could occur by direct alkylation of its cysteine residue by acrolein.
The cellular effects ofacro lein are believed to be due primarily toits ab ility to
react rapidly with red uced thiols such as GS H (Heci(, 1997). GSH plays a key role in
ce llular reductive processes and detoxification of harmful oxidative spec ies and
va ri ous xenob iotics (Meister and Anderson, 1983) . GS H redox status is criti ca l fo r a
va ri ety of biological process including transcriptional act ivat ion of var ious genes,
regulation of cell proliferation, infl ammation and apoptos is. An important
consequence of severe glutathione depletion caused by taxie compounds such as
acro lein is the resulting perturbation of the cellular redox balance between pro
oxidants and antioxidants in favor of a pro-ox idant tate. T hi would leave the ce l!
vulnerab le to damage, and poss ibly death, induced by norm al leve ls of ce llular
oxidants (02.-, 1-1 20 2) or mild exposure to other taxie compounds (Luo et al. , 2005) .
The present study demonstrates that acrolein causes glutathi one depletion at
much IO\-ver concentrations (4 fmollcell) than th ose that induce cytotox icity and
apoptos is (30 to 50 fmollcell) . Thi s indicates that glutathione depletion is an earlier
event than cytotoxic ity, evaluated by Joss of cellular proliferation. There was also a
correlat ion between acrolein-induced changes in GSH leve ls and inhibition of ce l!
proliferation, in A549 lung carcinoma ce ll s (Horton et al. , 1997).
Thi s is the first study that links GS H to induction of apoptos is by acrolein ,
si nce pretreatment with NAC, a glutathi one precursor, inhibited acrolein-induced
apo ptos is. Acrole in concentrati ons (20 fmol /ce ll ) that complete ly dep leted GS H
levels co incided with those required to induce ea rly apoptotic events, such as
translocation of Bax and Bad, mitochondrial membrane depolarisation, liberation of
cytochrome-c and activati on of caspase-9. Furthermore, thi s is the first study to report
protection against acrolei n-induced apoptosis with a thi ol anti oxidant. However, it
was reported that sul fur compounds (thiamine, NA C. a corbi e acid) (Sprince, 1985),
a -tocopherol and ascorbic ac id (Nardini et al. , 2002) as we il as the nucleophili c drug
~-- -- --
2 17
hydralaz ine (Kaminskas et al. , 2004) could affo rd protecti on aga inst acrolein-induced
cytotox icity. lndeed, NAC inhibited acrolein -induced apopto is, at bath th e
mitochondri al and post-mi tochondri al leve! . Caspase-9 acti vati on, which is
consideree! as an important indicator fo r activa ti on of the mitochondrial pathway of
apoptos is, was tota lly prevented by NAC. NAC inhi bited acrole in-induced activati on
of caspase-7, PARP cleavage and chromatin condensati on, whi ch are downstream
events from bath caspase-9 and -8. Total in hibi tion of caspa e-9 acti vati on and partial
inhibition of caspase-8 act ivation suggests that the mi tochondrial pathway is
primarily invo lved in protecti ve mechani sms in vo lving A . Caspase-8 act ivati on
mediates apoptotic signalling via death receptor pathways ( aikumar et al. , 1999).
At the mi tochondrial levet, NAC inhi bited the translocation of Bad to
mi tochondria as weil as translocation of Bcl-2 to cytoso l, st imulated by acrolein
exposure. NAC mainta ined anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 prote in at the mitochondrial
membrane. Therefore, NAC changed the ba lance between pro- and anti-apoptoti c
Bcl-2 prote ins at the mitochondri al membrane in l'"avor of an anti -apoptot ic state,
contirmed by protecti on against the acrolein-induced decrease in MMP. Surpri singly,
NAC did not appear to protect ce lls aga inst acrolein-incluced Bax translocation to the
mitochond ria. However, it is li kely that the ant i-apoptoti c effect of NAC may
predominate by increas ing Bcl-2 . Even though NAC does not prevent Bax
translocation to mitochondria, NAC ensures in creased leve ls of Bcl-2 at the
mitochondrial membrane. Bcl-2 binds to Bax in rder to prevent its pro-apoptotic
effects.
Surpri singly, NAC did not protect ce l! against acro lein-induced cytochrome
c release from mitochondria to the cytoso l. 1-l owever, it was reported that the
1 iberat ion of cytochrome-c persists in neutroph il s exposed to acrolein even though
apoptoti c fea tures such as caspase-9 and -8 acti vati on, and externali sati on of
phosphatidylserine were inhibited by acro lein (F in kel tein et al. , 2005). Thi s suggests
that cytochrome-c release is not necessaril y a hallmark in acro le in-induced apoptos is.
Moreover glutathione depleti on caused cytochro me-c release even in the absence of
2 18
apoptos is (G hibelli et al. , 1999). Thi s aga in suggests that cytochrome-c release is not
necessarily a terminal event leading to apoptos is, but could be the consequence of a
redox di sequilibrium arising from in creased mi tochondri a l generation of reacti ve
oxygen spec ies that, under some circumstances, may be assoc iated with apoptos is
(G hibelli et al. , 1999). The mechani sms in vo lved in cytochrome-c release during
apoptos is are not completely understood and appea r to in vo lve multiple and distinct
path ways, in vo lving Bax-Bax dimers, t-Bid , the MPT and ox idati on of cardi olipin
(Orrenius et al, 2006). Further work is required to characterize the mechanisms
in vo lved in the mitochondri al regulation of apoptos is.
Depletion of GS H and other cellular thiols has been correlated with apoptos is
in a number of ce ll types (Aoshiba et al. , 1999; Sato et al. , 1995). lt was suggested
that the effects of acrolein might be the resul t of redox changes of cri tica l protein
cysteine res idues secondary to GSH depleti on or to direct ox idation/a lkylati on of
prote in thio l res idues that may occLu· along with or subsequent to the loss of GS H
(F in ke lstein et al. , 2001 ). However, th e relat ionshi p between GS H depleti on and
apoptosis is not clear and GSH depletion itse lf may not be suffi cient to tri gger
apoptos is. ln fact, it has been proposed that apoptos is could in vo lve effl ux of reduced
GS H from the ce l! (G hibelli et a l. , 1995). Thu s, depleti on of ce llular GSH may be a
consequence rather than a cause ofapoptos is.
Du ring recent years, many compounds have been te ted as precursors of GSH
or as inducers of the enzymes related to its synthes is (A nderson, 1997). 1 ncreas ing
GS H leve ls could be of great interest in des igning new th erapeutic strateg ies aga inst
environmenta ll y toxic compounds, such as acrolein , and aga inst th e side effects of
many therapeuti c agents. NAC has proven to be a useful compound fo r increas ing
GS H synthes is. The protective role ofNAC aga inst acro lein-induced cytotox icity and
apoptos is could be explained by its ability to st imulate synthes is of glutathione, to
increase ce llular thiol poo ls or to act as a thiol-containing reducing agent. Bes ides
increas ing ce llular thiols, NAC can act as an anti ox id ant by directly reducing reactive
oxygen spec ies uch as OH·, 1-120 2 and HOC 1. AC reduced protein carbonyls
2 19
induced by acrole in , markers for lipid peroxidati on, in rats deve loping acute hepatic
injury (Kitamura et a l. , 2005). An advantage of using AC as a protective agent is
that it already has approval for clini ca l use. ln tàct, NAC is used clinically to treat
overd ose of the hepatotoxic drug acetaminophen (Perry and Shannon, 1998).
Admini stering the cyste ine delivery compound NAC to human subj ects appears to be
safer than administering cysteine itse lf, s ince cyste ine has been reported to have taxie
effects on the central nervous system (Dizdar et al. , 2000) .
On the bas is of these results, we conclude that AC appears to have a
benefi ciai effect in protecting cell s aga inst acrolein-induced apoptos is and inhibition
of ce ll pro li feration. These findings also suggest that intrace llular GSH levels may
play an important ro le in ce llular toxicity of acrolein , and in particul ar, the induction
of apoptos is and cytotoxicity. These findin gs may also be relevant to our
understanding of the toxicity of environmental exposures to low doses of acrolein as
we il as the norm al tissue tox icity of cyc lophospham ide, wh ich genera tes acrolein as
one of its metabolites.

with or without pretreatment with NAC, were incubated with acrole in (20 jmol/ce ll )
fo r 1 h. For immunodetection of PARP ( 11 6 kDa) and its cleavage fragment (85
kDa), P-tubulin was used as a loading control. Densitometric analyses of express ion
of (8 ) PA R.P ( 1 16 kDa) and (C) the cleavage fragment (85 kDa) are relative to the
untreated control. Data represent means and SEM from five independent experiments
performed with multiple estimations per poin t. P<0.05 (*)or P<O.OO 1 (***) indicates

Fig. 12: Proposed schema for NAC-induced inhibition of acrolein-induced
apoptosis. NAC, which increased intrace llular glu tathione leve ls, afforded protection
against acrolein-induced apoptosis. NAC dimini shed apoptos is by inhibiting acrolein
induced activation of the mitochondrial death pathway. NAC inhibited acrolein
induced Bad translocation to the mitochondri a, as weil as Bcl-2 translocation from
mitochondria to the cytosol. NAC had no effect on Bax translocation to the
mitochondria and cytochrome-c liberation to the cytoso l. NAC inhibited
depolarisation of mitochondrial membrane potential, procaspase-9 processing,
caspase-9, -7 and -8 activat ion, as we il as PARP cleavage induced by acro lein.
Acro lein causes procaspase-3 cleavage, but caspase-3 activity is immediately
inhibited and caspase-7 is responsible for downstream cleavage events. Inhibition of
acro lei n-induced apoptosis using NAC was confinned morphologica lly by
condensation of nuclear chromatin. Apaf-1: apoptosis protease activati ng facto r-! ; t

CONCLUSION
L 'acroléine est la plus électrophile des aldéhydes cx,f3-insaturés, extrêmement
toxique et elle est très présente dans l ' environnement. Elle est utili sée comme
herbicide et générée par la fumée de cigare tte, la cuisson d' huile, le métabolisme de
certains agents anticancéreux, lors de la peroxidation des lipides et après expos ition
aux rayons UV. L'acro léine est impliquée dans di fférentes maladies respiratoires
chroniques (bronchite, asthme) (Hogg 200 1) et neurodégénératives (A lzheimer) (Arlt
et al. , 2002) ainsi que l ' athérosclérose (Biswa l et al. , 2002). La peau est auss i une des
cibles de l ' acro léine, puisque la molécule est fo rm ée de façon endogène suite aux
irradiat ions des lipides par les rayons ultrav iolets du soleil et la quantité d' acroléine
formée peut être mesurée par immunohistochimie. Dans la peau, l 'acroléine peut
causer une hypersensibilité non-immunolog ique, une inflammation, le développement
de cancer, le vieillissement, une cytotoxicité et une génotox icité.
Cette étude montre pour la première fo is que l ' inducti on de 1 apoptose par
l ' acro léine passe par la vo ie mitochondriale et par la vo ie du récepteur de mort Fas et
que cette induction est MAPK-dépendante et caspase-dépendante.
3.1. Induction de l'apoptose par l'acroléine selon la littérature
La majorité des données de la littérature concernant la tox icité de l ' acroléine
porte sur sa nature électrophilique et son effet tox ique in vivo et in vitro . En ce qui
concerne les mécanismes d' activation de l ' apoptose par l 'acroléine, peu de recherches
ont été effectuées. Ces études ont montré plutôt que l 'acrol éine induit l ' apoptose par
détection des évènements tardifs (fragmentation de l ' ADN), sans déterminer les
mécanismes par lesquels l 'acroléine induit l ' apoptose. L ' étude des mécanismes
d' acti vat ion de la cascade apoptotique constitue la contribution importante et
ori gi nale de cette étude. Dans la littérature, on rapporte une induction de l ' apoptose
245
par 1 'acrolé ine et ceci est démontré par la fragmentation de 1 ' ADN au ni veau des
macrophages humains (Li et al. , 1997 et 1999) et des kératinocytes humains
(Takeuchi et al., 200 1), par l' extern alisat ion des phosphat idylsér ines (PS) chez les
ce llules épithé li ales branchiales humaines HB E 1 (Nardini et al , 2002). En plus,
l' apoptose éta it révé lée par la coloration nucléaire et le c li vage de la caspase-3 chez
les ce llules endothéli ales HUV EC (Misonou et al. , 2005) et par l'act ivité de la
caspase-3 chez les cellules tubulaires proximales humains (Schwerdt et al, 2005) .
Cependant, d' autres études démontrent que l' acro léine inhibe l' apoptose en faveu r de
la nécrose et cec i en abaissant l' activité enzymatique des caspases-3 , -8 et -9 chez les
lymphocytes B provenant de souri s (Kern et Kehrer, 2002). De plus, dans les cellules
neuronales PCI2, l'acro léine inhibe l' activ ité de la caspase-3 et la fragmentation de
l' ADN , et rend les cellules perméables à l' iod ure de propidium (L iu-Snyder et al.,
2006; Luo et al., 2005). En plus, l' acroléine inhibe l' apoptose chez les neutrophiles
humains en supprimant 1 'activité de la caspase-3, la frag mentat ion de 1 'ADN et
l'externali sati on des PS (Finkelstein et al. , 200 1). Mai s, une récente étude par la
même éq uipe a démontré que l' acroléine indui t l' apoptose à tàible concentration chez
les neutrophiles humains (< IO!J.M) et ce ll e-ci est révé lée par l' induction de l' activité
des caspases-3 , -8 et -9, 1 'external isation des PS et la 1 ibération du cytochrome-c.
Mais à plus forte dose (> IO!J.M) l'acro léine a induit la nécrose, une baisse de
l' activ ité des caspases -8, -9 et -3 ainsi qu'une diminu tion de l' externali sat ion des
PS. Pourtant la libérat ion du cytochrome-c est restée forte à ces deux conditions
(F inkelstei n et al. , 2005). Ces résultats va ri ab les de l' act ivat ion ou l' inhibition de
l' apoptose par l' acroléine peuvent être dus aux différences dans les processus
biochimiques impliqués dans l' induction de la mort ce llula ire dans ces différents
types cellulaires, qui incluent des cellules primaires non-pro liférat ives, des ce llules
immunitaires et des li gnées cancéreuses, ain si que le temps et la dose d ' acroléine
ad mini strée. En plus, différentes méthodologies ont été utili sées dans ces études,
comme des temps d 'expos ition à l' acro léine beaucoup plus long, de 24 h à 48 h,
246
comparat ivement à des courtes expositions de l'o rdre de 30 min à 4h . Dans quelques
études incluant la présente, les cellules éta ient incubées dans un milieu contenant du
sérum (Hamilton et al., 1997); pourtant dans d' autres études, l' acroléine éta it incubée
dans un milieu sans sérum (Takeuchi et al., 200 1; Na rdini el al. , 2002 ; Finkelste in et
al., 2001 ; Kern et Kehrer, 2002). L' acroléine réagit avec les protéines du sérum
diminuant ai nsi sa concentrat ion 1 ibre di sponibl e. Cec i peut ralentir ou modifier le
processus toxique induisant l'apoptose. La nécrose semble la forme de mort cellulaire
prédominante quand les ce llules sont exposées à l' acroléine dans un mili eu sans
sérum (Kern et Kehrer, 2002). Dans cette étude. !"acroléi ne induisa it la nécrose mais
à plus fo rte dose d' acro léine.
Alors, on remarque que les deux principales voies de l'activat ion de
l' apo ptose, la vo ie mitochondriale et la vo ie de récepteurs, n' ont pas été investi guées
en profond eur jusqu 'à présent ainsi que le rôle de la vo ie de signali sation des MAPK
dans l'activation de la cascade apoptotique par l' acrolé ine.
Cependant, de récentes études ont démontré que d' autres aldéhydes peuvent
induire l' apoptose. En fait, le 4-hydroxynonénal, un marqueur de la maladi e
d'Alzheimer, induit l' activat ion des caspases -2 , -3, -8 et -9, le c livage de PARP et la
libérat ion du cytochrome-c (J i et al. , 200 1). En plus, le 4-hydroxynonénal stimule la
vo ie de signalisation des MAPKs et ceci par la phos phorylat ion de c-jun (Pugazhenthi
et a l. , 2006; Bruckner et Estus, 2002) et par l' act ivat ion de .JNK (Castello et al. ,
2005). Cependant, une nouvelle étude sur des fibroblastes a démontré que l' apoptose
induite par l' aldéhyde 4-hydroxynonénal est JNK-dépendante (K utuk et al. , 2006).
D'autre part, la p53 qui joue un rôle majeur dans l"apopto e es t surexprimée sui vant
une expos ition à l' hydroxynonénal chez une li gnée de neurob lastomes (Laurora et a l. ,
2005) . Enfin, l' induction de l' apoptose pa r la vo ie mi tochondriale par le
cinnamaldéhyde est p38 et JNK-dépendantes (Wu et a l. , 2006).

3.2. Les mécanismes d'action de l'apoptose induite par l'acroléine
3.2.1. Induction de la voie mitochondriale de l'apoptose par
l'acroléine
Lors de la présente étude, des tests de cytotox icité ont démontré que l'ac roléine est un
composé très toxique pour les cellules CHO pui squ ' un e concentrati on de 200
fm ole/ce llule éliminait 95% des ce llules après une heure d'expos ition. On a observé
que l'acrolé ine induit l'apoptose (condensati on de la chromatine après quatre heures
d 'expos ition) et la nécrose à petite dose (3 0 f mole/ce llule), mais une élevation de la
concentrati on à 100 fm ole/cellule entraîne la nécrose plutôt qu e l' apoptose. Notre
in vesti gation sur les mécanismes d' activati on de l'apoptose a montré que l'acrolé ine
st imule la vo ie mitochondria le en causant la ba isse du potenti el membranaire
mitochondrial, la libération du cytochrome-c dans le cytoso l, la translocation des
proté ines pro-apoptotiques Bax et Bad vers la membrane mitochondriale, la
translocati on de la proté ine anti-apoptotique Bcl-2 vers le cytoso l, a in si qu ' une
acti vation de la caspase-9 initiatrice (F igure 3. 1 ). Cette cascade enzymatique a
entraîné le cli vage de di fférents substrats des cas pases dont l' inhibi teur ICA D et la
protéine PARP, l'externa li sation des phosphat idylsérines et l' apparition de la
condensati on de la chromatine (F igure 3. 1). Les caspases -3 et -6 n' éta ient pas
acti vées mais plutôt inhibées et ceci pourra it probablement résulter d' une li a ison
directe au s ite actif par l' addition de Michael pui sque les caspases sont des cysté ines
protéases qui sont régulées suite à un stress oxydati f par modification de leur thi o l du
site acti f (Chandra et al. , 2000; Mannick et al., 1999). Il éta it rapporté que les cellules
du carcinome du sein MCF7, qui sont dépourvues de la caspase-3, peuvent subir
l'apoptose par l' in termédiaire de la caspase-7 effectrice (Degterev et al., 2003). En
effet, l' apoptose induite par l' ac roléine chez les ce llules CHO semble être médiée par
la caspase-7 effectri ce (F igure 3. 1). En plus de la caspase-3 , la caspase-9 est capable
de cl iv er directement la caspase-7 et entraîner son act ivati on (S iee et al., 1999). Dans
cette étude, le clivage de I' ICAD semble être médié par la caspase-7 (Wolf et al.,
-- ------- --------------
248
1999; Houde et al. , 2004). C'est souvent difficile de distinguer entre l' implication de
la caspase-3 ou -7 dans l'apoptose puisque les deux partagent plusieurs substrats en
commun (PARP, lCAD) et le peptide Ac-DEVD-AMC (Cohen, 1997).

Nous avons observé que l'acroléine cli ve la procaspase-3 (2-50 fm ole/ce llule)
mais inhibe très rapidement (< 5 min) son act ivité enzymatique. Le c livage de la
procaspase-3 résulte probablement de l' act ion enzymat ique directe de la caspase-9
act ive (Lawen, 2003). En plus, l' utilisat ion d' un inhibiteur spéc ifique de la ca pase-3
n' a pas emmené une baisse de l' apo pto e induite par l' ac rolé ine. L' inhibition
enzymatique peut être due à un e alkylation directe du site actif par l'acrolé ine, ce qui
est en accord avec d' autres études (Finkelstein et al. , 200 1). La baisse de l' activité de
la caspase-3 se produit chez les neutrophiles après 2 à 8 h d ' expos ition à 10 ).lM
d ' acrolé ine (F inkelstein et al. , 2001). De même, les act ivités des caspases -3, -8 et -9
étaient inhibées après 30 min d 'expos ition à l' acrolé ine (5 to 40 ).lM) chez les
lym phocytes murins (Kern et Kehrer, 2002) . Les cas pases -7 et -9 ont aussi c li vées
et act ivées par l' acro léine dans les cellules Cl-IO mai il emble qu 'ell es so nt moins
suscepti bles que la caspase-3 à l' inhibition par l'ac roléi ne. L' inhibition des caspases-
7 et -9 se produit éga lement, mais seul ement après 3 h et 2 h d' expos iti on,
respectivement, puisqu ' elles possèdent toutes les deux un résidu cystéine
nucléophilique dans leur site actif qui peut être alky lé par l' acrolé ine (Finkelstein et
al. , 200 1 ). L' act ivati on des caspases par l'ac roléine semble être le rés ultat d ' un net
éq uilibre entre deux processus, so it l'act ivat ion et l'inhibition des enzymes. Bien que
ces caspases puissent être inhibées, il reste un e act ivité caspase nene mais minimale
pour induire le clivage de I' ICAD et la cond ensation de la chromat ine (Figure 3.1 ).
La différence dans l' inhibition de ces caspases peut s' exp liquer aussi par le fait que
les caspases ne se ressemblent pas toutes au nivea u du site actif mais plutôt au reste
de la structure, ce qui exp liquerait la limitat ion de l' accès et les différences des
substrats (Degterev et al., 2003).
Récemment, on a rappo1té que le c li vage protéolytique n' est pas suffi sant pour
l' act ivat ion de la caspase-9 initiatrice (Boatri ght et Salvesen, 2003) . La dimérisation
plutôt que le cli vage sem ble le plus important dans la fo rm ation du s ite actif et
l' act ivation de la caspase-9. Des changements confo rmat ionnels identiques pour
250
former le s ite actif ont été observés pour les caspases -9 et -7, même si elles sont
act ivées par des mécanismes distincts. D'autre part, un clivage interdomaine par les
caspases initi atrices est nécessa ire pour 1 ' act ivat ion des caspases effec trices -3 et -7
(Boatright et Salvesen, 2003).
L' activation des caspases -9 et -7 éta it confirmée par le c livage de leurs
fo rmes pro-enzymes et la génération des fragments appropri és, mais surtout par
l' augmentation de l' activité enzymatique. De plus, le rôle de la caspase-9 dans
l' induction de l' apoptose par l' acro lé ine était confirmé en utili sant un inhibiteur de
son activ ité. Jusqu 'à présent, il n' y a pas d' inhibiteur spéc ifique disponible pour la
caspase-7.
L' implication du pore de transition de perméabilité (PTP) et du relargage du
cytochrome-c dans l' apoptose induite par l'acrolé ine éta ient confirmés en util isant la
cyclospori ne A, un inhibiteur du pore PTP. Bien que le mécani sme du relargage du
cytochrome-c n'est pas complètement connu , i 1 est considéré que le cytochrome-c est
1 ibéré via les pores PTP et les canaux formés par les in teract ions des proté ines pro
apoptotiques Bax (Orrenius et al., 2003). L' inhibition de l' apoptose par la
cyclosporine A su pporte un rôle pour les pores PTP et la 1 ibérat ion du cytochrome-c
dans l'apoptose induite par l'acroléine. L' inhibition partielle par la cyclosporine A
suggère que l'acroléine peut induire l' apoptose par des mécani smes alternatifs à la
vo ie mitochondri ale et que le cytochrome-c peut être re largué par plusieurs
mécanismes.
3.2.2. Induction de la voie des récepteurs de mort par l'acroléine
Une autre nouvelle contribution de cette étude est que l' expos ition des cellules
prolifératives CHO à l' acro léine st imule la voie du récepteur de mort Fas (F igure
3. 1 ). Cette affi rmation est confirmée par 1 ' augmentation de 1 ' expression du 1 igand
Fas, la translocation de l'adapteur de domaine de mort de Fas (FADO) à la membrane
plasmique et l' act ivation de la caspase-8 initi atri ce. Le Kp7-6, un antagoniste du
25 1
récepteur Fas et 1 ou Z-IETD-FMK, un inhibiteur de la caspase-8, bloquaient les
évènements apoptot iques en aval de la caspase-8, comme l ' act ivat ion de la caspase-7
exécutrice et la condensation de la chromatine nucléa ire. L ' acroléine induit une
transducti on croisée entre la voie de signali sat ion des récepteurs de mort et celle de la
mitochondrie en clivant la protéine Bid en sa fo rme tronquée t-bid qui se transloque à
la membrane mitochondriale pour st imuler cette vo ie. L 'inhibition du récepteur Fas
ou de la caspase-8 inhibait partiellement 1 'act ivat ion de la caspase-9, un évènement
post-mitochondria l, par l 'acroléine. Ces résultats démontrent que l ' acro léine active la
vo ie du récepteur Fas en amont de la voie mitochondriale. La caspase-9 demeurait
partiellement act ive malgré 1' inhibition du récepteur Fas et de la caspase-8, suggérant
que l ' acroléine peut induire la vo ie mitochondriale indépendamment de la vo ie des
récepteurs. En plus, le Z-LEHD-FMK, un inhibi teur de la caspase-9, inhibait
partiellement la condensation de la chromatine indui te par l ' acroléine. Ces résultats
suggèrent que les deux voies sont act ivées indépendamment et que la vo ie des
récepteurs peut stimu ler la voie mitochondriale par l ' intermédiaire de t-bid.
Chez les neutrophiles, de fa ibles doses d' acro léine activa ient la caspase-8 et
au contraire, de fot1es doses inhibaient son act iv ité (F inkelstein et al., 2005). En plus,
l ' acroléine inhibait l 'activité de la caspase-8 chez les lymphocytes B murins (Kern et
Kehrer, 2002). Dans ces études, l'exposition à !"acroléine était courte mais la
détection de 1 'activité se faisait de 6 à 24 h après 1 'expos ition. Après une longue
incubati on, il est possible que le type de mort ce llulaire change de l ' apoptose en
nécrose. Il a été rapporté que les composés tox iques induisent l ' apoptose à des fa ibles
doses et la nécrose à des conditions plus évères et que le type de mort dépend du
type ce llulaire (Orrenius et Zhivotovsky, 2006).
252
3.2.3. Implication de la voie de signalisation des MAPK dans
l'apoptose induite par l'acroléine
La vo ie de récepteur de mort Fas converge aussi à l' acti vat ion de la
MAPKKK AS K 1 par l' intermédiaire de l' adapteur Daxx. Ensui te, AS K 1 act ive les
vo ies MA PKs, JNK et p38 qui sont impliquées da ns la transcription des gènes des
protéines apoptotiques dont Bax, Bim, le 1 igand Fas et le récepteur Fas.
L'acroléine induit l'apoptose par l' act iva ti on du récepteur du facteur de
croissance épidermale (EGFR) qui active la vo ie des MAPKs chez les kératinocytes
humains (Takeuchi et al., 2001) . Menti onnons ici que l' activati on des MAPKs peut
prendre di fférentes vo ies de signali sati on et a insi emmener l' apoptose dans le cas des
kérat inocytes humains (Takeuchi et al., 200 1) et 1 'inhibition de l' apoptose chez les
neutrophiles humains (Finkelstein et al. , 200 1 ). Toutefo is le lien entre l' apoptose et
l' activation des MAPK n'était pas défi ni dans ce deux études. La présente étude
montre pour la première fois que l' apoptose induite par l' acroléin e est MAPK
dépendante. On a démontré par des inhibi te urs pharm aco log iques, que l'acroléine
acti ve les vo ies de signali sation ASK 1/p38 et ERK, indui ant plusieurs
caractéristiques de 1 ' a po ptose dont 1 'acti vat ion des caspases-9 et -7, le c livage de
I' ICA D et la condensati on de la chromatine.
Trois di fférentes MA P kinases, p38, JNK et ERK sont impliquées dans
l' apoptose. Bien qu 'e lles jouent un rôle important dans la signali sati on de l'apoptose,
leurs rôles dans l' induction de l' apoptose par l'acroléine demeurent inconnus. Cette
étude démontre que l'acroléine active la c-jun (F igure 3. 1 ), un substrat de JNK, et
l' inhibition de l'activité de JNK par le SP6001 25, change le mode de mort par
apoptose en une mort totale par nécro e. Ceci confi rme que la JNK est impliquée
dans une vo ie de survie contre l' agress ion par acroléin e. En plus, le SP600 125
inhi ba it l'acti vation des caspases -7 et -9, et le cli vage de I' ICA D. Ces observati ons
ont des ré ultats attendus puisque l' acti vat ion des caspases n' est pas un e
caractéri stique de la nécrose. Il était rapporté que J K e t impliquée dans l' apoptose
253
des ce llules du carcinome pulmonaire (Chuang el aL. , 2000) et ce lle des macrophages
murins (Kim et Sharma, 2004) mais elle n' était pas impliquée dans l'apoptose des
ce llules neuronal es HT4 (Rockwell el aL., 2004) où p38 jouait le rô le maj eur.
Cepend ant, JNK est importante dans le déve loppement et la urvie des macrophages
(Himes et aL. , 2006). Ainsi, la fo ncti on de JNK dans l' apoptose est contradictoire.
Par contre, la p38 MA PK est impliquée da ns l' in duction de l' apoptose par
l'acroléine. L' incubation des ce llules Cl-IO avec l' acroléine induisait la
phosphorylation de la p38 (F igure 3. 1) et un prétra itement avec le SB2035 80, un
inhibiteur de la p38, inhibait l' apoptose induite par l' acroléine. L' inhibiteur
SB203580 inhibait l' activation des caspases-7 et -9, le c li vage de l' fCA D et la
condensation de la chromatine induites par l' acroléine. Bien que les stimuli de stress
acti vent la p38 et induisent l'apoptose dan des modèles de dommages cellula ires, ce
n' est pas le cas chez tous ces modèles. L' acti vation de la p38 éta it requi se pour
l'apoptose induite par le cadmium (Ga lan et al., 2000), la soustraction des facteurs
trophiques (Kummer et al. , 1997), et l' ischémi e (Mackay et Mochly-Rosen, 1999),
pourtant l' incapac ité de SB203580 à prévenir l'apoptose induite par les UV (Franklin
et al., 1998) et la S-nitrosoglutathion (Call sen et Brune, 1999) prouve la fa ible
corrélation entre p38 et l' apoptose. D'autres résul ta ts contradi cto ires sont obtenus
chez des ce llules neuronales. Dans une étud e récente dans les ce llules neuronales
HT4, l' inhibition de la p38, et non de JN K, bl oq uait 1 apo ptose induite par le
cadmium (Rockwe ll et aL. , 2004), des résul tats qui concordent avec notre étude où
une inhibition de la p38 bloquait l' apoptose induite par l' acrolé ine. Une te lle
anomalie suggère l' existence d' une grande di ffé rence dans la régulati on de la réponse
face au stress dépendamment du type cellulaire et de l' agent admini stré.
En plus des facteurs de croissance, de cytokines, et des mitogènes, ERK est
auss i activé par des agents cytotoxiques. Dans notre étude, ERK semble être
impliquée dans l'apoptose induite par l'acro lé ine. Acro léine induit la phosphorylation
de ERK, et l' inhibition de son activité par le UO 126 inhibait l' acti va tion des caspases-
7 et -9, le clivage de l'TCAD et la condensation de la chromatine par l' acroléine. En
254
plus, un autre inhibiteur de ERK, le PD98059, inhibait l'acti vati on des caspases-7 et-
9, et le clivage de I' ICAD sans toutefois avo ir un effet sur la condensation de la
chromatine, une des étapes fin ales dans l' induction de 1 ' apoptose. PD98059 et UO 126
sont toutes les deux des inhibiteurs de MEK qui sont utiles pour étudier les
mécani smes biologiques et surtout ceux impliqués dans l' activati on des MAPKs. Il s
sont des inhibiteurs non-compétiti fs des ubstrats de M EK, 1 'A TP et ERK
respectivement (Favata et al., 1998). Elles ont des mécani smes d ' action différents
(Dudley et al. 1995; Favata et al. 1998), UO 126 est in inhib iteur spécifique de
l' activité de MEKl et 2 tandis que le PD98059 est un inhibiteur de l'activation de
MEK 1. Ainsi le UOJ 26 est un plus puissant inhibiteur qu e le PD98059 (Aless i et al. ,
1995 ; Dud ley et al., 1995 ; Favata et al., 1998) . L' activati on de la MAPK ERK peut
inhiber l'apoptose (C huang et al., 2000), l' acti ver (Lee el al., 2006; Ruffels et al.,
2004; Yang G. et al. , 2004) ou même n'avo ir aucun effet (Ga lan et al., 2000). En
plus, le rôle de ERK est di fférent d' un agent toxique à 1 autre da ns le même type
ce llulaire. Par exemple, chez les ce llules de neurob lastomes humains SH-SY5Y,
l' apoptose induite par le peroxyded' hydrogène était inhibée par un inhibiteur de ERK
(Ruffels et al. , 2004) qui n' avait pas d'effet sur l' apoptose induite par le cadmium
(Kim et al. , 2005). Ceci suggère que les agresseurs n' induisent pas tous les mêmes
vo ies de signalisati on.
3.2.4. Induction de la voie de survie AKT pat· l'acroléine
Afin de vérifi er le li en entre l'acrolé in e et les vo ie de survie ce llulaire, on a
entrepri s des expériences sur l' AKT (protéine kinase B ou PKB) qui est une protéine
activée en aval des récepteurs de facteurs de croissance. AKT est la plus caractéri sée
des kinases qui sont connues de promouvoir la survi e ce llulaire et de jouer un rôle
majeur dans le métabolisme du gluco e. AKT est act ivée en réponse à plusieurs
facte urs de croissance, à des hormones ainsi qu'à des agresseurs exogènes (Datta et
al. , 1999; Law lor et Aless i, 200 1; Ta lapatra et Thompson, 200 1; Downward , 1998;
255
Brazil et Hemmings, 2001). Les facte urs de cro issance et les hormones qui act ivent la
voie AKT inc luent le facteur de cro issance ressemblant à l' acro léine (IGF), le facteu r
de cro issance ép idermale (EGF), le facteur de croissance des fibrob lastes (bFGF),
1' insuline et l' interleukine 6 (Datta et al., 1999 ; Ta lapatra et Thompson, 200 1;
Downward , 1998). Dans nos cellules, l' AKT joue un rôle dans la survie cellul aire
contre l' agress ion par l'acroléine. En effet, l' acrolé ine phosphory le l' AKT et le
prétra itement avec des inhibiteurs pharmaco logiques de l' AKT, qui sont le
L Y294002 et le Wortmannin, changea it la mort ce llulaire de 1 ' apoptose en nécrose
tota le. Ces deux inhibiteurs agissent sur la vo ie de urvie cellula ire de la
phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PJ3 -K) et il s sont très ut il es dans 1 'étude des mécanismes
biologiques impliquant la voie PI3-K (S tein et Waterfïeld , 2000; Fruman , 1998). Le
LY294002 et le Wortmannin diminuaient s ignifï cativement l'activation des caspases-
7 et -9 et le c livage de l' lCAD par l'acro léine, des résultats attendus dans des
cond itions nécrotiques.
Parmi les protéines kinases kinases kinases activées par des mitogènes
(MAPKKK), la kinase régul atri ce du signal d ' apoptose 1 (ASK I) est activée en
réponse à des stresseurs cytotoxiques te ls que les EO R, le FasL, le H20 2 et le TNF-a,
et induit l'activation de JNK et p38 , et l' apoptose (To biume et al. , 2001 ). Le
mécani sme de tox icité de l' acroléine implique la générati on du stress oxydatif.
L'acroléine génère des EORs (Luo et Shi , 2004 et 2005) et des radicaux libres, et des
anti oxydants comme le glutathione et l' hydra laz ine rédui sent sa tox ic ité (N unoshiba
et Yamamoto, 1999; Burcham el al., 2000). Comme attendu, no résultats démontrent
que 1 ' acro léine entraîne 1 'augmentation de 1 'express ion de ASK 1 (F igure 3.1) et la
phosphorylation de la p38 et du substrat de JNK, c-jun , à des concentrations
apoptotiq ues.
256
3.2.5. Phosphorylation de la p53 par l'acroléine
Un nouvel aspect de cette étude démontre la phosphory lat ion de la p53 aux
sérines 15 et 46 par l 'acroléine (F igure 3. 1) qui est un agent endommageant de l ' ADN
(Esterbauer et al., 199 1 ). Les sérines 15 et 46 de la p5 3 sont phosphory lées en
réponse aux dommages à l 'ADN (Cnman et al. , 1998 ; Bulavin el al., 1999). La
phophory lat ion de la sérine 15 réduit la liaison de l ' oncogène mdm2 à la p53 in v itro
(Shieh el al., 1997) pour inhiber sa dégradation par la mdm2 (Haupt el al. , 1997).
Effectivement, l 'acro léine induit la phosphory lati on de la p53 à la sérin e 15, et
comme attendu ce lle de la sérine 46 qui est la cible de la p38 (B ulav in et al., 1999)
qu 'on a démontré son activation. Parmi les évènements méd iés par la p53 , il y a
l 'apoptose et l 'arrêt du cyc le ce llulaire. La p53, qui est un facteur de transcription
induit la transcription des protéines proapoptotiques comme Bax et le ligand Fas, et
supprime celle des antiapoptotiques comme le Bc l-2 (B ras el al., 2005). D 'ai lleurs,
nous avons démontré que l 'acroléine induit une augmentation de Bax et une ba isse de
Bcl-2 à la membrane mitochondriale ai nsi que l ' augmentation de l 'express ion du
ligand Fas, tous des changements régulés par la p53. A insi, la présente étude
démontre que p38 et ERK sont des molécules clés dans l ' induct ion de l ' apoptose par
l 'acroléine et que AKT et JNK sont des voies de surv ie empruntée par la ce llule pour
contrer sa toxicité cellulaire.
3.2.6. L'antioxydant N-acétylcystéine inhibe l'apoptose induite par
l'acroléine
Puisque l ' acroléine est un toxique omniprésent dans notre environnement, on
a étudié l ' effet protecteur des antioxydants sur les ce llules afi n de pouvoir traiter les
gens qui y sont exposés. On a démontré que le g lutathion qui est parmi les plus
importants antioxydants intracellulaires, joue un rôle important dans la détoxification
de l 'acroléine. Ains i, le NAC, un précurseur du glutathion, a inhibé la toxicité induite
par l 'acroléine dans les cellules proli férat ives Cl-1 0. L·acro léine se lie rap idement aux
25 7
molécules nucléophiliques comme l'antioxydant glu tathi on, qui est impl iqué dans la
défense ce llulaire, et emmène une diminution de a concentrati on intracellulaire
(Heck, 1997; Kehrer et Biswal, 2000). De plus, ell e inact ive l'enzyme glutathione
rédu ctase qui regénère la fo rme réduite du glutathi one (GS H) par le cyc le rédox du
glutathione. La baisse de la forme réduite du GS H rend la ce llule plus vulnérable aux
dommages causés par le stress oxydatif. Nos résultats montrent une baisse accrue du
GS H intracellulaire avec des faibles concentrati ons de l'ordre de 10 fm ole/cellule.
Une expos ition des cellules CHO à un e concentrat ion non-l éth ale d ' acro léine (4
f mole/ce llule) diminue le glutathione intrace llulaire de 55% da ns 30 min. Cette
baisse est plus rapide et dramatique par rapport à ce lle observée chez les cellules
CHO exposées au H20 2 pendant l heure (25%) (Lord- Fonta ine et Averill-Bates,
2002) . Puisque les concentrations d ' acroléine qui abaissent le glutathion
intrace llula ire sont beaucoup plus fa ibles que celles qui induisent la cytotox icité, ce la
suggère que la baisse du glutathi on est une étape importante qui précède les
condit ions cytotoxiques. Dans les cellules du carcin ome pulmonaire A5 49, il y ava it
une fo rte corrélati on entre la baisse du g lutathi on et l' inhibi tion de la proli fé ration
ce llula ire (Horton et al., 1997).
Le NAC, qui augmente le nt veau intrace llula ire de glutathion, offre une
protecti on contre la cytotoxicité, la nécrose et l'apoptose (F igure 3. 1) engendrées par
l' acroléine. Le GSH joue un rôle important dans la détox ift cati on ce llulaire des
espèces oxydatives tels que le H20 2 et les hydroperoxydes lipidiques (Meister et
Anderson, 1983) et la protecti on des ce llules épithé li ales pulm onaires de l' oxydati on
et de l' infl ammation. La balance oxyda-réductrice du glutathion est cri tique pour
plusieurs fonctions cellulaires et des changements indui ts pa r l' acrolé ine semblent
affecter plusieurs vo ies de signali sation. Cec i inclu t l' activati on de plusieurs gènes de
transcripti on, la régulation de la proli fé rat ion ce llulaire et l' apoptose (Horton et al. ,
1997, 1999; Ramu et al. , 1996; Rahman et MacNee, 1999, Rahman et al., 1999;
Arr igo, 1999; Bojes et al., 1999).
258
En plus, nous avons apporté de nouve lles informations sur les mécanismes de
protection par le NAC contre l ' apoptose induite par l ' acroléine. Les concentrations
d' acroléine qui abaissent le glutathion co ïn cident avec ce lles qui induisent les
évènements précoces de l ' apoptose comme la translocat ion du Bax et Bad, la
dépolarisation de la membrane mitochondriale, la libérat ion du cytochrome-c et
l ' act ivati on de la caspase-9 (F igure 3.1 ). Aucune autre étude n' a rapporté une
protecti on contre l ' apoptose induite par l ' acroléine par n' importe quel antioxydant.
La protection de l ' apoptose par le NAC a été confirmée morphologiquement par
1' inhibition de la condensation de la chromatine, un évènement tardif de 1 'apoptose,
induite par l 'acroléine. Un prétraitement avec NA inhibait l ' induction de la voie
mitochondriale par l ' acroléine puisque le cli vage de la caspase-9 et son activat ion ont
été totalement inhibés. L 'activation de la caspase-9 e t considérée comme un
indicateur de la vo ie mitochondriale (Chandra el al. , 2000). NAC inhibait la
translocation du Bad vers la mitochondrie ainsi que la translocation du Bcl-2 au
cytosol induite par l 'acroléine. NAC inhibait l ' act ivat ion de la caspase-7 etTectri ce et
ce lle de la caspase-8 initiatrice ainsi que le cli vage de PARP par l 'acroléine.
L ' inhibition totale de la caspase-9 et l ' inhibi tion partielle de la caspase-8
suggèrent que la vo ie mitochondriale est la première cible du mécanisme du
protection par le NAC puisque l ' activation de la caspase-8 méd ie l ' apoptose par la
vo ie du récepteur Fas (Saikumar et al., 1999). A in i, no résul tats suggèrent que le
GSH joue un rôle important dans la toxicité et la modulation de l ' apoptose induite par
l ' acroléine.
La baisse du glutathi on et d' autres thiols ce llulaires corrèlent avec l 'apoptose
dans plusieurs types cellulaires (Aoshiba el al. , 1999 ; Sato el al. 1995). En effet,
l ' apoptose induite par l ' acroléine chez les neutrophiles co ïncide avec la baisse du
glutathion intrace llulaire (Finkelstein el al. , 2001 ). Il éta it uggéré que les effets de
1 ' acroléine sont probablement dues aux changements d'oxydoréduction dans des
molécules connexes au GSH (F inkelste in et al., 200 1 ) . Cependant, la relat ion entre la
bai sse du glutathion et l 'apoptose n'est pas encore claire et la bai sse du GSH toute
_______________________________ _____________ _j

seule peut ne pas être suffisante pour induire l 'apoptose. En effet, il était proposé que
l ' apoptose impliquerait une sorti e du GSH intracellulaire (G hibelli el al., 1995 ; Yan
den Dobbelsteen et al. , 1996). Ainsi , la diminution du G H est plutôt une
conséquence et non une cause de l ' apoptose.
Un rôle pour le stress oxydatif dans l'apoptose intrigue de plus en plus de
chercheurs. Pour plusieurs années, on a pensé qu ' une exposition directe des ce llules
au peroxyded ' hydrogène ou à des quinone induit seulement la nécrose, mais de plus
récentes études démontrent que ces agents à des plus faibles doses peuvent induire
l ' apoptose (Hampton et Orrenius, 1997). En plus, de plu en plus de chercheurs
suggèrent que la production des espèce réactives de l ' oxygène (EOR) fa it partie
intégrante de 1 ' a po ptose et que ces espèces sont déterminantes dans la tox icité
assoc iée à la radiation ionisante et aux médicaments chimiothérapeutiques (Zamzami
et al., 1995; M acho et al. , 1997). Puisque l ' acroléi ne génère un stress oxydatif en
augmentant la production des EORs et que le AC inhibe l ' induct ion de l 'apoptose
par le NAC, on pense que l ' apoptose induite par l 'acroléine est médié par le stress
oxydatif. La capacité de plusieurs antioxydants ce llulaires com me la cata lase et le
AC à bloquer l ' apoptose induite par diver agents autres que des oxydants auss i
confirme le rôle central du stress oxydati f dans l 'apoptose (B uttke et Sandstrom,
1994). Réc iproquement, on a assigné une fonction antioxydante à la famille anti
apoptotique Bcl-2 et à la protéine du baculov irus p35 (Jacobson, 1996; Sah, 1999),
démontrant que la génération des EOR est probablement une condition prérequise
pour démarrer l 'apoptose. Cependant, d' autres études ont démontré ques les radicaux
libres peuvent atténuer l ' apoptose (Hampton et Orrenius. 1998).
Durant les récentes années, plusieurs précurseurs du GSH ou inducteurs de ses
enzymes de synthèse ont été développés (Anderson, 1997) . L ' augmentati on du GSH
est d' un grand intérêt dans le développement de nouvelles tratégies thérapeutiques
contre les composés tox iques de l 'environemment, comme l ' acroléine, et les effets
secondaires de plusieurs médicaments tel que 1 'hépatotox icité de 1 'acétaminophène.
Le NA diminue les protéines conj uguées à l 'acroléine, un marqueur de la
260
perox idati on lipidique, chez les rats développant des dommages hépatiques
chroniques (Kitamura et al. , 2005). En plu , le NAC supprimait l 'apoptose induite par
des agresseurs tox iques ou par le facteur de nécrose tumorale (TN F-a) (Cotgreave,
1997). Le NAC est utilisé pour ses propriétés chimioprotectrices contre les effets
secondaires de plusieurs médicaments (Mclellan et al. , 1995 ; Gilli ssen et al. , 1997).
Le NAC est utili sé cliniquement pour traiter les overdoses de l 'acétaminophène
(Perry et Shannon, 1998) . En outre, le NAC peut agi r directement comme un
antioxydant en réduisant les espèces réacti ves de l 'oxygène comme le radical hydroxy
(OH"), le péroxyde d' hydrogène (H20 2) et l ' ac ide hypochloreux (HOC l ) .
A dministrant le précurseur de la cystéine, le AC, est plus sCrr pour les humains que
la cysté ine elle-même qui a montré des effets toxiques pour le système nerveux
central (Dizdar et al., 2000). En plus, le GSH ne peut pas être administré car il
n' entrera pas dans la cellule à cause de son vo lume.
3.2.7. Pertinence de l'acroléine dans le traitement des cancers
De nos jours la thérapie anticancéreuse par inducti on cl ' apoptose prend de pl us
en plus d' intérêt. Cette étude v ise à comprendre le mécanisme de mort cellulaire
induit par l ' acroléine ainsi que l ' impact de la modulat ion du glutathion intracellulaire
sur la toxicité de cet aldéhyde. Nous somme intére és à étudier l ' acroléine parce
qu 'elle est produite par l ' oxydation des polyamines (Agostinelli et al. , 1996). Il est
déjà connu que les tumeurs contiennent des concentrations élevées en polyamines
(Bachrach et Heimer, 1989), qui sont des molécules nécessa ires à la proliférati on
ce llulaire (Heby et Persson, 2003). A insi, en administrant une enzyme de la famille
des amines oxydases, l ' amine oxydase du sérum du bovin (BSAO, EC 1.4.3.6), les
polyamines seront oxydés pour produire de l ' acroléine et du peroxyded ' hydrogène
(A iarcon, 1970; Tabor et Tabor, 1984). Ce fa isant, la taille de la tumeur diminuera
puisqu 'on la pri ve des polyamines et on la met en présence de produits apoptogènes
(Lord- Fontaine et al., 200 1), qui sont le peroxyded ' hydrogène et l ' acroléine. La
26 1
BSAO a été immobilizée avec succès dans des hydroge ls de po lyéthy lène glyco l
biocompatibles, ce qui peut être utile pour la tabilité et la li vraison de l ' enzyme dans
des tumeurs in vivo (De mers et al. , 200 1 ). La BSAO immobi 1 izée était injectée in
vivo dans des tumeurs de mélanome chez la souris et elle a diminué la croissance
tumorale (Averiii-Bates et al., 2005) . Nous avous caractéri sé le type de mort
ce llulaire, qui était l 'apoptose, révélée par la condensati on de la chromatine, chez les
ce llules tumorales (test de Hoescht) (Averiii-Bates et al. , 2005). En ce qui me
concerne, j ' ai parti cipé à cette étude in vivo en confirmant l ' apoptose à l ' aide du test
de l 'annex ine V 1 propid ium iodide et cec i par cyrométri e de flu x (Averiii- Bates et
al ., 2005). Les résultats de cette étude suggèrent que l ' enzyme immobili sée possède
un potentiel anticancéreux en clinique, pui sque les produi ts générés sont relachés
graduellement ce qui stimule l ' apoptose des ce llules plutôt que la nécrose. A insi, les
résul tats de mon proj et de doctorat pourront aider au déve loppement de cette nouvelle
thérapie anticancéreuse dont les mécanismes sont investigués en détails afin
d ' opt imiser le traitement.
En conclusion, nos résultats ont permi s une meilleure compréhension de la
tox icité de l ' acroléine, un des produits maj eurs de l 'oxydati on des polyamines
impliqués dans la régulation de la proli férati on ce llulaire et la croissance des tumeurs.
En plus, cette étude a permi s une explication poss ible de l ' acti v ité pharmaco log ique
du cyc lophosphamide, un agent anticancéreux, qui est métaboli sé en acroléine et en
un mélange de phosphoramides, ce qui ouvre la vo ie au déve loppement de
1 ' enzymothérapi e par la BSAO pour 1 utter contre les cancers. D 'autre part, les
ré ultats de ce proj et envisagent la po sib i lité d" ut ili er le composés qui augmentent
le niveau de GSH dont le N AC dans des cas de tox icité à l 'acroléine, molécule qui
prend de l 'ampleur dans la recherche sur la maladie cl ' A lzheimer.
En perspective, il sera important et ori ginal de démontrer si l ' acroléine peut
induire l 'apoptose in vivo et cec i sur des ti ssu pulmonaires des rats Sprague-Dawley
sui te à une expos ition par inhalation. L 'étude se fera par vo ie respirato ire puisque
norm alement les gens sont exposés à l ' acroléine par l 'air comme la cuisson d' huile,
262
l' émiss ion des moteurs et les feux de forêt. Différentes études in vivo se sont
intéressées au métabo li sme de l' acroléine et son etTet tox ique sans avo ir étudier la
mort cellul ai re par apoptose (Morri s et al. , 2003; Penn et al., 2001 ; Borchers et al. ,
1999; Linhart et al. , 1996). Les rats seront exposés à diffé rentes concentrat ions en
acro lé ine suivi e des étapes de prélèvement de poumons et du lavage
bonchoalvéolaires . Afin d' invest iguer l' apoptose induite in vivo par inhalation de
l' acroléine, on utili sera un homogénat de poum ons. Les analyses à utiliser seront : la
mi croscop ie de fluorescence pour confirmer la présence des noyaux apoptotiques à
1 'a id e du co lorant Hoescht, le test du TU EL pour démontrer la fragmentation de
1 ' ADN (Barazzone et al., 1998), la tluorimétrie et l' immunobuvardage pour étudier
l' act ivité et le clivage des caspases -7, -8 et -9. Ensuite, par HPLC on effectuera le
dosage de l' hydroxyproline qui démontre le dépôt de co ll agène qui est un indicateur
de fibrose (Hagimoto et al., 1997). La fibrose se ca ractéri se par une surpopulation de
fibroblastes au niveau des poumons en cas de tox icité pulmonaire (Hagimoto et al.,
1997). Enfin, la microscopie de flu orescence pour étudi er l' activité de la phagocytose
qui est un mécanisme de défense majeure des poum ons et ceci sur les différents types
ce llula ires du système immunitaire obtenu par lavage bonchoa lvéo la ire (Kuronuma
et al. , 2004) . Au niveau des poumons les macrophages sont responsables d ' attaquer et
de di gérer les bactéries et mi croorgani smes qui entrent par la vo ie respirato ire. Ainsi,
une act ivité phagocytose dérégulée représente un danger pour la santé humaine.
Enfin, nos résultats suggèrent que l' acrolé ine induit l' apoptose par la voie de
récepteur de mort Fas et par la voie mitochondriale et que ces mécanismes sont
MAPK- et caspases-dépendant. En plus, l' antioxydant NAC peut être utilisé dans le
traitement d ' une toxicité à l'acroléine et po ur aba isser les effets econdaires
indési rabl es de l' agent anticancéreux, le cyc lophosphamide.
