Nitric oxide (NO) induces apoptotic cell death and cAMP has a significantly protective effect on NO-induced cytotoxicity in human osteoblasts, MG-63 cells. Treatment with S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP)(0.6 mM) resulted in genomic DNA fragmentation, characteristic of apoptosis. However, concomitant incubation of the cells with either DBcAMP or forskolin markedly inhibited SNAP-induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, pretreatment of MG-63 cells with H-89 or KT5720, which is known to inhibit cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), abolished the protective effect of DBcAMP and forskolin on SNAP-induced apoptosis. In this study, we explored the involvement of caspases in the regulatory mechanism of SNAP-induced apoptosis by cAMP. Our data show that DBcAMP or forskolin blocked SNAP-induced caspase-3-like cysteine protease activation and that H-89, a PKA inhibitor, reversed the cAMP-induced regulatory effect of caspase-3 like protease. Consistent with the results, cAMP inhibited the proteolytic cleavage of caspase-3, -6, -9 and cytochrome c release to cytoplasm. The inhibition of caspase-3 activation did not block SNAP-induced cytochrome c release to cytoplasm, suggesting that caspase-3 activation may occur downstream of cytochrome c release. In summary, these findings show that the exposure of MG-63 cells to cAMP analogs renders them more resistant to NO-induced damage and suggests the presence of regulatory mechanisms of the cell death pathway by cAMP in which caspase-3, -6, and -9 and cytochrome c release serves to mediate NO-induced apoptosis.
