Bufalin enhances TRAIL-induced apoptosis by redistributing death receptors in lipid rafts in breast cancer cells.
Studies have shown that tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) selectively induces apoptosis in cancer cells. However, breast cancer cells are generally resistant to TRAIL. In the present study, we explored the effect of bufalin on TRAIL-induced breast cancer cell apoptosis. The results showed that bufalin enhanced TRAIL-induced apoptosis in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells by activating the extrinsic apoptotic pathway. Bufalin also promoted the clustering of death receptor 4 (DR4) and DR5 in aggregated lipid rafts. The cholesterol-sequestering agent methyl-β-cyclodextrin reversed the DR4 and DR5 clustering and reduced bufalin+TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Overall, these results indicate that bufalin enhanced TRAIL-induced apoptosis in breast cancer cells by the partial redistribution of DRs in lipid rafts.
