Abstract
Tumor cells strategically down-regulate Fas receptor expression to evade immune attack and up-regulate expression of Fas ligand to promote apoptosis of in filtrating T lymphocytes. Many pathways leading to apoptotic cell death require calcium release from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP 3Rs). Here, we show that Fas-dependent killing of Jurkat T lymphoma cells by SW620 colon cancer cells requires calcium release from IP3R. General suppression of IP3R signaling significantly reduced SW620-mediated Jurkat cell apoptosis. Significantly, a specific inhibitor of apoptotic calcium release from IP3R strongly blocked lymphocyte apoptosis. Thus, selective pharmacological targeting of apoptotic calcium release from IP3R may enhance tumor cell immunogenicity.
