N2 - The activation of Myc induces apoptosis of human ovarian adenocarcinoma N.1 cells when serum factors are limited. However, the downstream mechanism that is triggered by Myc is unknown. Myc-activation and treatment with the proapoptotic ligands TNFalpha, FasL, and TRAIL induced H-ferritin expression under serum-deprived conditions. H-ferritin chelates intracellular iron and also intracellular iron sequestration by deferoxamine-induced apoptosis of N.1 cells. Supplementation of serum-free medium with holo-transferrin blocked apoptosis of N.1 cells that was induced by Myc-activation or by treatment with TNFalpha, FasL, and TRAIL, whereas apotransferrin did not prevent apoptosis. This suggests that intracellular iron depletion was a trigger for apoptosis and that transferrin-bound iron rescued N.1 cells. Furthermore, apoptosis of primary human ovarian carcinoma cells, which was induced by TNFalpha, FasL, and TRAIL, was also inhibited by holo-transferrin. The data suggest that Myc-activation, FasL, TNFalpha, and TRAIL disturbed cellular iron homeostasis, which triggered apoptosis of ovarian carcinoma cells and that transferrin iron ensured survival by re-establishing this homeostasis.
