Role of cytochrome-c in insect cell apoptosis is highly controversial, with many earlier reports suggesting lack of involvement of mitochondrial factors in Drosophila while more recent studies have indicated otherwise, thus warranting more in-depth studies of insect cell apoptosis. In the present study, we investigated mitochondrial involvement during actinomycin-D induced apoptosis in Sf9 Lepidopteran cells. Cytochrome-c was released from mitochondria very early during apoptosis, and was preceded quickly by ROS generation and cardiolipin peroxidation. Albeit cytochrome-c release and apoptosis induction were inhibited by bongkrkicacid (BKA) it appears that the release is independent of permeability transition pore (PTP) as it preceded mitochondrial Ca2+ buildup and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) loss. Further, the release was found to be unaffected by PTP inhibitor cyclosporin-A. Bax inhibitory peptide BiP-P5 could effectively block both cytochrome-c release and apoptosis induction indicating dependence on Bax-channel formation. Inhibition of apoptosis by FSBA, a nucleotide analog that inhibits apoptosome formation through Apaf1 binding, suggested activity of apoptosome similar to mammalian cells. Mitochondria isolated from treated cells activated caspases in the cytosolic fraction of untreated cells while mitochondrial lysates of treated or untreated cells had similar effect. Sequestering cytochrome-c in mitochondrial lysates inhibited DEVDase activity, and addition of purified cytochrome-c and dATP to Sf9 cytosolic fraction induced DEVDase activity, suggesting that cytochrome-c may be exclusively required for Lepidopteran apoptosis. This is the first detailed study demonstrating mitochondrial regulation of Lepidopteran insect cell apoptosis, and reiterates its homology with mammalian cell apoptosis while showing distinctive differences from earlier reports in Drosophila.
