Comparative microarray analysis of gene expression during apoptosis-induction by growth factor deprivation or protein kinase C inhibition

The transcriptional response of mouse pro-B cells to two different apoptotic stimuli was investigated. First, interleukin-3 (IL-3) deprivation was used to trigger programmed cell death in IL-3 dependent FL5.12 cells. Alternatively, cells were treated with the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor staurosporine. The temporal pattern of gene expression was followed with cDNA microarrays, covering over 8700 different mouse cDNA sequences corresponding to approximately 7900 unique genes. Messenger RNA levels of 315 genes were found to be regulated by more than twofold upon IL-3 removal, while 125 genes reacted to staurosporine treatment. Cross-comparison revealed an intersection of 34 genes similarly regulated in both pathways and thus representing candidates for common apoptosis regulators. For many expressed sequence tags (ESTs) our data suggest for the first time functions in the control of apoptosis, stress response or the cell cycle. IL-3 removal led to the repression of genes required for proliferation and to the induction of genes, linked to apoptotic and signaling pathways. Staurosporine caused predominantly activation of genes, some of which had previously been described to be involved in inflammation. Our findings indicate that cellular responses to both apoptotic stimuli influence various physiological pathways which had not previously been known to be linked.
