BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Despite new therapeutic approaches, metastatic melanomas
still have a poor prognosis. Statins reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
and exert anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative actions. We have recently
shown that simvastatin triggers an apoptotic burst in human metastatic melanoma
cells by the synthesis of an autocrine factor. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: The current
in vitro study was performed in human metastatic melanoma cell lines (A375,
518a2) and primary human melanocytes and melanoma cells. The secretome of
simvastatin-stressed cells was analysed with two-dimensional difference gel
electrophoresis and MS. The signalling pathways involved were analysed at the
protein and mRNA level using pharmacological approaches and siRNA technology. KEY
RESULTS: Simvastatin was shown to activate a stress cascade, leading to the
synthesis of 15-deoxy-12,14-PGJ2 (15d-PGJ2 ), in a p38- and COX-2-dependent
manner. Significant concentrations of 15d-PGJ2 were reached in the medium of
melanoma cells, which were sufficient to activate caspase 8 and the mitochondrial
pathway of apoptosis. Inhibition of lipocalin-type PGD synthase, a key enzyme for
15d-PGJ2 synthesis, abolished the apoptotic effect of simvastatin. Moreover,
15d-PGJ2 was shown to bind to the fatty acid-binding protein 5 (FABP5), which was
up-regulated and predominantly detected in the secretome of simvastatin-stressed
cells. Knockdown of FABP5 abolished simvastatin-induced activation of PPAR-? and
amplified the apoptotic response. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: We characterized
simvastatin-induced activation of the 15d-PGJ2 /FABP5 signalling cascades, which
triggered an apoptotic burst in melanoma cells but did not affect primary human
melanocytes. These data support the rationale for the pharmacological targeting
of 15d-PGJ2 in metastatic melanoma.
