| Abstract | Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) induces apoptosis in various types of malignant cancer cells, but several cancers have acquired potent resistance to TRAIL-induced cell death by unknown mechanisms. Camptothecin (CPT) is a quinolone alkaloid that induces cytotoxicity in a variety of cancer cell lines. However, it is not known whether CPT triggers TRAIL-induced cell death. In this study, we found that combined treatment with subtoxic doses of CPT and TRAIL (CPT-TRAIL) potentially enhanced apoptosis in a caspase-dependent manner. CPT-TRAIL effectively induced the expression of death receptor (DR) 5, which is a specific receptor of TRAIL, and treatment with a chimeric blocking antibody for DR5 reduced CPT-TRAIL-induced cell death, indicating that CPT functionally triggers DR5-mediated cell death in response to TRAIL. CPT-induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) also preceded the upregulation of DR5 in response to TRAIL. The involvement of ROS in DR5 upregulation confirmed that pretreatment with antioxidants, including N-acetyl-L-cysteine and glutathione, significantly inhibits CPT-TRAIL-induced cell death by suppressing DR5 expression. The specific inhibitors of ERK and p38 also decreased CPT-TRAIL-induced cell death by blocking DR5 expression. In conclusion, our results suggest that CPT sensitizes cancer cells to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis via ROS and ERK/p38-dependent DR5 upregulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
