Whereas its ability to maintain the functional conformations of mutant and aberrant oncoproteins is established, a transformation-specific regulation of the antiapoptotic phenotype by Hsp90 is poorly understood. By using selective compounds, we have discovered that small-cell lung carcinoma is a distinctive cellular system in which apoptosis is mainly regulated by Hsp90. Unlike the well-characterized antiapoptotic chaperone Hsp70, Hsp90 is not a general inhibitor of apoptosis, but it assumes this role in systems such as small-cell lung carcinoma, in which apoptosis is uniquely dependent on and effected through the intrinsic pathway, without involvement of caspase elements upstream of mitochondria or alternate pathways that are not apoptosome- channeled. These results provide important evidence for a transformation- specific interplay between chaperones in regulating apoptosis in malignant cells. © 2007 Nature Publishing Group. date: 2007-01-01 date_type: published publication: Nature Chemical Biology volume: 3 number: 8 pagerange: 498 - 507 refereed: TRUE issn: 1552-4450 id_number: 10.1038/nchembio.2007.10 pmid: 17603540 mesh_headings: Antineoplastic Agents--pharmacology mesh_headings: Apoptosis mesh_headings: Carcinoma, Small Cell--drug therapy mesh_headings: Carcinoma, Small Cell--metabolism mesh_headings: Carcinoma, Small Cell--pathology mesh_headings: Cell Line, Tumor mesh_headings: Cell Transformation, Neoplastic mesh_headings: Dose-Response Relationship, Drug mesh_headings: Drug Design mesh_headings: Drug Screening Assays, Antitumor mesh_headings: Gene Expression Regulation, Neoplastic mesh_headings: HSP90 Heat-Shock Proteins--metabolism mesh_headings: Humans mesh_headings: Lung Neoplasms--drug therapy mesh_headings: Lung Neoplasms--metabolism mesh_headings: Lung Neoplasms--pathology mesh_headings: Models, Chemical mesh_headings: Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinases--metabolism mesh_headings: Time Factors chemical_names: Antineoplastic Agents chemical_names: HSP90 Heat-Shock Proteins chemical_names: Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinases citation: Rodina, A and Vilenchik, M and Moulick, K and Aguirre, J and Kim, J and Chiang, A and Litz, J and Clement, CC and Kang, Y and She, Y and Wu, N and Felts, S and Wipf, P and Massague, J and Jiang, X and Brodsky, JL and Krystal, GW and Chiosis, G (2007) Selective compounds define Hsp90 as a major inhibitor of apoptosis in small-cell lung cancer.
