Manganese porphyrin, MnTE-2-PyP5+, Acts as a pro-oxidant to potentiate glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis in lymphoma cells.


ABSTRACT: Using current chemotherapy protocols, over 55% of lymphoma patients fail treatment. Novel agents are needed to improve lymphoma survival. The manganese porphyrin, MnTE-2-PyP(5+), augments glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis in WEHI7.2 murine thymic lymphoma cells, suggesting that it may have potential as a lymphoma therapeutic. However, the mechanism by which MnTE-2-PyP(5+) potentiates glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis is unknown. Previously, we showed that glucocorticoid treatment increases the steady state levels of hydrogen peroxide ([H(2)O(2)](ss)) and oxidizes the redox environment in WEHI7.2 cells. In the current study, we found that when MnTE-2-PyP(5+) is combined with glucocorticoids, it augments dexamethasone-induced oxidative stress however, it does not augment the [H(2)O(2)](ss) levels. The combined treatment depletes GSH, oxidizes the 2GSH:GSSG ratio, and causes protein glutathionylation to a greater extent than glucocorticoid treatment alone. Removal of the glucocorticoid-generated H(2)O(2) or depletion of glutathione by BSO prevents MnTE-2-PyP(5+) from augmenting glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis. In combination with glucocorticoids, MnTE-2-PyP(5+) glutathionylates p65 NF-?B and inhibits NF-?B activity. Inhibition of NF-?B with SN50, an NF- ?B inhibitor, enhances glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis to the same extent as MnTE-2-PyP(5+). Taken together, these findings indicate that: 1) H(2)O(2) is important for MnTE-2-PyP(5+) activity; 2) Mn-TE-2-PyP(5+) cycles with GSH; and 3) MnTE-2-PyP(5+) potentiates glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis by glutathionylating and inhibiting critical survival proteins, including NF-?B. In the clinic, over-expression of NF-?B is associated with a poor prognosis in lymphoma. MnTE-2-PyP(5+) may therefore, synergize with glucocorticoids to inhibit NF-?B and improve current treatment.
