The lack of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21(WAF1/CIP1) (p21) in mice increases renal proximal tubular cell death and enhances sensitivity to acute renal failure produced by the chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin. We used primary cultures of mouse renal proximal tubular cells ( MPTC) grown in optimized culture conditions to investigate the cellular basis for increased apoptosis in p21 knockout mice. Cisplatin (15 muM) activated caspase-3 but not caspase-8 or caspase-9 and produced phosphatidylserine externalization, chromatin condensation, and nuclear fragmentation in wild-type [p21(+/+)] MPTC. Caspase-3 activation and apoptosis were accelerated in cisplatin-treated MPTC lacking p21 [p21(-/-) MPTC]. In contrast to p21(+/+) MPTC, cisplatin activated caspase-9 but not caspase-8 in p21(-/-) MPTC before caspase-3 activation. The caspase-3 inhibitor Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-fluoromethylketone (DEVD-fmk) inhibited caspase-3 activity but did not abolish apoptosis in p21(+/+) and p21(+/+) MPTC. General caspase inhibitor Z-Val-Ala-Asp(OCH3)-fluoromethylketone (ZVAD-fmk) inhibited caspase activity and decreased chromatin condensation by 51% in p21(-/-) but not in p21(+/+) MPTC. However, cisplatin-induced phosphatidylserine externalization was not inhibited by ZVAD-fmk in p21(+/+) MPTC. We conclude that 1) in the presence of p21, cisplatin activates caspase-3 through a mechanism independent of caspase-8 or caspase-9; 2) in the absence of p21, caspase-9 activation precedes caspase-3 activation; 3) the lack of p21 accelerates caspase-3 activation and cisplatin-induced MPTC apoptosis; and 4) MPTC apoptosis is caspase independent in the presence of p21 but partially dependent on caspases in the absence of p21.
