Introduction

Statins have benefits independent of the plasma cholesterol properties among cancer patients and tissue factor (TF)/FVIIa induce PI3-kinase/AKT dependent anti-apoptosis during serum starvation. We analyzed how simvastatin induces apoptosis in human breast cancer cells and the influence of FVIIa and/or FXa on the proposed apoptosis.

Materials and methods

MDA-MB-231 cells were serum starved or treated with 5 microM simvastatin and incubated with 10 and 100 nM FVIIa or 5/130 nM FVIIa/FX. RhoA was analyzed by confocal microscopy and caspase-3, nuclear fragmentation, and NFkappaB translocation were measured using the ArrayScan microscope. mRNA for BCL-2, AKT1 and TF were analyzed with RT-PCR or TaqMan. Protein levels and phosphorylation of PKB/AKT were determined by western blotting.

Results and conclusions

Simvastatin-induced apoptosis was recorded at 48 h in the MDA-MB-231 cells. Addition of FVIIa to the cells induced PKB/AKT phosphorylation at 24 h and rescued serum-deprived cells from apoptosis. However, in the presence of simvastatin we were unable to report any phosphorylation of PKB/AKT or anti-apoptotic effect mediated by the TF/FVIIa or TF/FVIIa/FXa complexes. This was due to a RhoA-dependent retention of NFkappaB to the cytosol at 12 h which led to a transcriptional down-regulation of the anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2 as well as reduced AKT1 mRNA production at 24 h and thus diminished levels of PKB/AKT protein. A transcriptional down-regulation of TF at 12 h possibly also contributed to the absent anti-apoptotic signaling. These results thereby support a role for simvastatin in cancer treatment and emphasize the importance of PKB/AKT in TF-signaling."xsd:string
