1 GADD153 mediates celecoxib-induced apoptosis in cervical cancer cells. Celecoxib DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
2 Screening of a cDNA microarray chip containing 225 different genes revealed that GADD153 (growth arrest and DNA damage inducible gene), a transcription factor involved in apoptosis, showed the strongest differential expression following celecoxib treatment in all three cervical cancer cell lines. Celecoxib DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
3 Notably, siRNA-induced silencing of GADD153 suppressed celecoxib-induced apoptosis in all three cell lines, and exogenous expression of GADD153 triggered apoptosis in cervical cancer cells in the absence of other apoptotic stimuli. Celecoxib DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
4 A luciferase reporter gene assay and mRNA stability tests revealed that the expression of GADD153 was regulated at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels following celecoxib treatment. Celecoxib DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
5 The region between -649 and -249, containing an intact C/EBP-ATF binding site, is required for celecoxib-induced stimulation of GADD153 promoter activity. Celecoxib DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
6 These novel findings collectively suggest that GADD153 may play a key role in celecoxib-induced apoptosis in cervical cancer cells by regulating the expression of proapoptotic proteins such as Bak. Celecoxib DNA damage inducible transcript 3 Homo sapiens
