Abstract

• We previously demonstrated that quercetin, a naturally occurring flavonoid with strong antioxidant properties, was able to enhance programmed cell death in HPB-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell line, derived from a human tymoma, when assocd. with the agonistic anti-CD95 monoclonal antibody. Here, we report that HPB-ALL cells are normally resistant to CD95-mediated apoptosis, and quercetin is able to sensitize this cell line through a mechanism independent of its antioxidant properties. In fact, other compds. structurally and functionally similar to quercetin, when assocd. with anti-CD95 antibody did not induce any CD95-mediated apoptosis, still maintaining their antioxidant capacity. We found that quercetin effects are mediated by the activation of PKCa. Treatment of HPB-ALL cells with quercetin slightly decreased PKCa activity, but when the flavonoid was assocd. with anti-CD95, the kinase activity increased by 12-fold with respect to the treatment with quercetin. In addn., overexpression of PKCa induced programmed cell death in the absence of any addnl. stimulus, while a kinase-defective mutant of PKCa was ineffective. Our data confirm the involvement of specific PKC isoforms in CD95 signaling and suggest, for the first time, that quercetin targets this pathway increasing apoptogenic response in a cell line resistant to CD95-mediated apoptosis.
