      STUDY DESIGN.: Western blotting and flow cytometric analyses were performed using rat notochordal cells. OBJECTIVE.: To demonstrate the apoptotic effect of oxidative stress and the antiapoptotic effects of caspase inhibitors on rat notochordal cells. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA.: Although oxidative stress causes apoptosis in many cell types, its effect on the apoptosis of notochordal cell and antiapoptotic effects of caspase inhibitors on the oxidative stress-induced apoptosis are unknown. METHODS.: Cultured rat notochordal cells were exposed to oxidative stress [500 μmol/L of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)]. To determine the oxidative stress-induced apoptotic pathways, activations of caspases (-3, -8, and -9) as well as cleavages of Bid and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) were evaluated with Western blotting 6 hours after oxidative stress. To elucidate the antiapoptotic effects of caspase inhibitors on the oxidative stress induced-apoptosis, apoptotic rates of notochordal cells with or without treatment of specific caspase inhibitors (z-IETD-fmk for caspase-8, z-LEHD-fmk for caspase-9, and z-DEVD-fmk for caspase-3) were quantified by flow cytometry. RESULTS.: Oxidative stress significantly increased apoptosis of rat notochordal cells (2.1% vs. 4.75%, P = 0.008) and led to activations of initiators of intrinsic (caspases-9) and extrinsic (caspase-8) pathways as well as their common executioner (caspase-3). It also caused cleavages of Bid and PARP. Flow cytometric analysis showed that inhibition of only one of the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways by caspase-9 inhibitor (4.75% vs. 3.56%, P = 0.31) and caspase-8 inhibitor (4.75% vs. 5.24%, P = 0.84) did not significantly suppress the oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. However, inhibition of both pathways by caspase-3 inhibitor significantly reduced the oxidative stress-induced apoptosis (4.75% vs. 2.64%, P = 0.008) to the control level (2.1% vs. 2.64%, P = 0.15). CONCLUSION.: Oxidative stress caused apoptosis of rat notochordal cells via both intrinsic and extrinsic (Type I and Type II) pathways. Because caspase inhibitors are being used in clinical trials, inhibition of both pathways using caspase inhibitors might be of future therapeutic importance in oxidative stress-induced apoptosis of notochordal cells. Our results suggest that inhibition of inappropriate or premature oxidative stress-induced apoptosis of notochordal cells may delay the starting point of disc degeneration.
