Induction of apoptosis by zinc sulfate was investigated during 96 h exposure on the cancer Hep-2 cell line. During 48 h of exposure, zinc translocated into mitochondria and stimulated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), affected cellular GSH management and induced moderate activation of p53 and dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential. In Zn-exposed cells, mitochondria released cytochrome c and AIF, whose translocation to the cytoplasm or the nucleus coincided with the activation of apoptosis. The use of various pharmacological inhibitors inhibiting particular apoptotic targets (antioxidants such as N-acetyl-cysteine and coenzyme Q, the caspase inhibitors z-DEVD-fmk and z-VAD-fmk, cyclosporin A and bonkgrekic acid) proved that Zn acts both directly and indirectly on mitochondria and observed apoptosis is executed by caspase-dependent and caspase-independent pathways. |
