Abstract

Induction of apoptosis by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as celecoxib, is involved in their antitumor activity. An endoplasmic reticulum chaperone, 150-kDa oxygen-regulated protein (ORP150) is essential for the maintenance of cellular viability under hypoxia and is reported to be overexpressed in clinically isolated tumors. We here found that ORP150 was up-regulated by celecoxib in human gastric carcinoma cells. In conjunction with the suppression of tumor growth, orally administered celecoxib up-regulated ORP150 in xenograft tumors. Both the ATF4 and ATF6 pathways were activated by celecoxib, and suppression of ATF4 and ATF6 mRNA expression by small interfering RNA (siRNA) inhibited the celecoxib-dependent up-regulation of ORP150. Celecoxib administration led to an increase in the intracellular concentration of Ca2+, whereas 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid-acetoxymethyl ester, an intracellular Ca2+ chelator, inhibited the up-regulation of ORP150 and the activation of the ATF4 and ATF6 pathways. These results suggest that these Ca2+-activated pathways are involved in the celecoxib-mediated up-regulation of ORP150. Clones overexpressing ORP150 were less susceptible to celecoxib-induced, but not staurosporine-induced, apoptosis and displayed less up-regulation of C/EBP homologous transcription factor (CHOP), a transcription factor with apoptosis-inducing activity. In contrast, siRNA for ORP150 stimulated apoptosis and expression of CHOP in the presence of celecoxib but not staurosporine. These results suggest that up-regulation of ORP150 in cancer cells inhibits celecoxib-induced apoptosis, thereby decreasing the potential antitumor activity of celecoxib.
