We have demonstrated for the first time the mechanism underlying ROS-mediated mitochondria-dependent apoptotic cell death triggered by isoegomaketone (IK) treatment in melanoma cells. We showed that IK induced apoptotic cell death and tumor growth inhibition using tissue culture and in vivo models of B16 melanoma. Furthermore, we observed that IK effectively induced apoptotic cell death, including sub-G1 contents up-regulation, nuclei condensation, DNA fragmentation, and caspase activation in B16 melanoma cells. Pretreatment with caspase inhibitor increased the survival rate of IK-treated B16 cells, implying that caspases play a role in 1K-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, IK treatment generated ROS in melanoma cells. We also determined whether or not IK-induced cell death is due to ROS production in B16 cells. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) inhibitedIK-induced Bcl-2 family-mediated apoptosis. This result indicates that IK-induced apoptosis involves ROS generation as well as up-regulation of Bax and Bcl-2 expression, leading to release of cytochrome c and AIR Our data suggest that IK inhibits growth and induces apoptosis in melanoma cells via activation of ROS-mediated caspase-dependent and -independent pathways.
