IMMUNEPOTENT CRP (ICRP) is an immunotherapy that induces cell death in cancer cell lines. However, the molecular mechanisms of death are not completely elucidated. Here, we evaluated the implication of intracellular Ca2+augmentation in the cell death induced by ICRP on T-ALL and breast cancer cell lines. Cell death induction and the molecular characteristics of cell death were evaluated in T-ALL and breast cancer cell lines by assessing autophagosome formation, ROS production, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, ER stress and intracellular Ca2+levels. We assessed the involvement of extracellular Ca2+, and the implication of the ER-receptors, IP3R and RyR, in the cell death induced by ICRP, by using an extracellular calcium chelator and pharmacological inhibitors. Our results show that ICRP increases intracellular Ca2+levels as the first step of the cell death mechanism that provokes ROS production and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. In addition, blocking the IP3and ryanodine receptors inhibited ER-Ca2+release, ROS production and ICRP-induced cell death. Taken together our results demonstrate that ICRP triggers intracellular Ca2+-increase leading to different regulated cell death modalities in T-ALL and breast cancer cell lines.See also Figure 1(Fig. 1).
