Resveratrol is a naturally occurring flavanoid with potent apoptosis-inducing activity against human tumor cells. We investigated the effect of resveratrol on human leukemia cell lines, in particular its ability to induce intracellular reactive oxygen species production and the effect of Bcl-2 overexpression on this model. Exposure of CEM cells to increasing concentrations of resveratrol (0-50 mu M) resulted in an increase in mitochondrial superoxide production, decrease in transmembrane potential, and a concomitant decrease in cell viability. Whereas overexpression of Bcl-2 increased mitochondrial oxygen consumption and complex IV activity, CEM/Bcl-2 cells responded to the increased mitochondrial oxidative stress induced by resveratrol by significantly reducing mitochondrial respiration, complex IV activity, and O-2(-) production, and promoted cell survival. The inhibitory effect of Bcl-2 on resveratrol-induced mitochondrial O-2(-) production is further corroborated by the neutralization of this regulatory effect upon siRNA-mediated gene silencing of Bcl-2. These data provide evidence implicating mitochondrial metabolism in the anticancer activity of resveratrol, and underscore a novel regulatory role of Bcl-2 against exogenous oxidative stress through its ability to fine tune mitochondrial respiration, and by doing so maintaining mitochondrial O-2(-) at a level optimal for survival.
