TRAIL induces apoptosis in various tumor cells. We report here that caspase-8 is required in TRAIL-induced cell death. Western blot analyses and enzyme assays showed that exposing Jurkat cells to TRAIL resulted in activation of caspases-8 followed by caspase-3 and -9. Acetyl-IETD-fluoromethylketone, a caspase-8 inhibitor, potently suppressed TRAIL-induced cell death compared to acetyl-DEVD-fluoromethylketone and acetyl-LEHD-fluoromethylketone, inhibitors of caspase-3 and caspase-9, respectively. JB6 cells, a caspase-8-deficient Jurkat variant, were completely resistant to TRAIL. However, reconstitution with a caspase-8, but not with caspase-2 or -3, sensitized JB6 cells to subsequent exposure to TRAIL, These results are indicative of the crucial function of caspase-8 in TRAIL-induced apoptosis in Jurkat cells.
