Abstract TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) mediates apoptosis in malignancy cells through death receptors DR4 and DR5 preferring often one receptor over another in the cells expressing both receptors. Receptor selective mutant variants of TRAIL and agonistic antibodies against DR4 and DR5 are highly encouraging anticancer providers. Here using DR5 specific mutant variant of TRAIL – DR5-B we have demonstrated for the first time that the level of sensitivity of malignancy cells can be shifted from one TRAIL death receptor to another during co-treatment with anticancer medicines. First we have analyzed the contribution of DR4 and DR5 in HCT116 p53+/+ and HCT116 p53?/? cells and shown that in HCT116 p53+/+ cells the both death receptors are involved in TRAIL-induced cell death while in HCT116 p53?/? cells prevailed DR4 signaling. The manifestation of death (DR4 and DR5) as well as decoy (DcR1 and DcR2) receptors was upregulated in the both cell lines either by TRAIL or by bortezomib. However, combined Pyrantel pamoate treatment of cells with two medicines induced strong time-dependent and p53-self-employed internalization and further lysosomal degradation of DR4 receptor. Interestingly DR5-B variant of TRAIL which do not bind with DR4 receptor also induced removal of DR4 from cell surface in combination with bortezomib indicating the ligand-independent mechanism of the receptor internalization. Eliminatory internalization of DR4 resulted in activation of DR5 receptor therefore DR4-dependent HCT116 p53?/? cells became highly sensitive to DR5-B in time-dependent manner. Internalization and degradation of DR4 receptor depended on activation of caspases as well as of lysosomal activity as it was completely inhibited by Z-VAD-FMK, E-64 and Baf-A1. In light of our findings, it is important to explore cautiously which of the death receptors is definitely active, when sensitizing medicines are combined with agonistic antibodies to the death receptors or receptor selective variants of TRAIL to enhance malignancy treatment efficiency. Intro Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) Pyrantel pamoate triggers programmed cell death in various types of malignancy cells without causing toxicity to normal cells [1]. Binding of TRAIL with death receptors (DR4 and DR5) induces death signals to the intracellular apoptotic machinery [2]. By contrast, two additional receptors, decoy receptor DcR1 and DcR2 are unable to initiate apoptotic cell death and antagonize Pyrantel pamoate TRAIL-induced apoptosis [3], [4]. Many malignancy cell lines communicate both DR4 and DR5, and each of these receptors can initiate apoptosis individually of the additional. The affinity of TRAIL to the both Col11a1 death receptors is equivalent (BL21(DE3).
