CD9, a member of the tetraspanin family, has been shown to be involved in a range of cellular activities, including migration, proliferation and adhesion, but the molecular mechanisms by which it mediates such events is unclear. Here, we found that anti-CD9 monoclonal antibody ALB6 inhibited cell proliferation, reduced cell viability and induced not only morphological changes specific to apoptosis but also molecular changes, as evidenced by TUNEL and annexin-V staining. For the possible mechanism of ALB6-induced apoptosis, ALB6 activated the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) and p38 mitogen-activated-protein kinase (MAPK) within 5-15 minutes, as well as caspase-3 within 24-48 hours. It is noteworthy that ALB6 induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the p46 Shc isoform specifically and that the overexpression of its dominant-negative form completely suppressed the ALB6-induced activation of JNK/SAPK, p38 MAPK and caspase-3, resulting in the inhibition of apoptotic cell death. These results suggest that CD9 might regulate apoptosis through the specialized signals in human cancer cell lines.
