Induction of monocytic differentiation by bryostatin1 (bryo1) conferred on THP-1 leukemia cells the ability to resist Z-LLL-CHO-induced apoptosis. The mechanism of resistance developed during this process was investigated. Apoptosis resistance was associated with an enhanced expression of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP), an endogenous caspase inhibitor, in differentiated THP-1 cells. Bryo1 also increased the level of c-IAP-1, yet decreased the level of c-IAP-2 in THP-1 cells, indicating that distinct regulatory mechanisms are operative. In addition, treatment of THP-1 cells with bryo1 induced a rapid and sustained activation of MEK, prior to the upregulation of XIAP and monocytic differentiation. Pretreatment of THP-1 cells with MEK inhibitors (U0126 and PD98059) prior to bryo1 induction blocked the expression of both XIAP and the c-fins product (M-CSF receptor), a hallmark of monocytic differentiation, but not Bcl-2. In addition, the expression of XIAP in bryo1-treated cells was inhibited by CAPE, a NF-kappaB-specific inhibitor, indicating that its expression is under the transcriptional regulation of NF-kappaB downstream of the MEK/MAPK pathway. The importance of XIAP in mediating apoptosis resistance was illustrated in cells transiently transfected with XIAP, which conferred on THP-1 cells the ability to resist Z-LLL-CHO-induced apoptosis. These findings suggest that the expression of XIAP is linked to monocytic differentiation in bryo1-treated THP-1 cells and represents one of the potential antiapoptotic mechanisms acquired during this process.
