We have examined specific genes whose expression is altered during apoptosis induced by prostaglandin (PG)A2 and Delta12-PGJ2 in human hepatocellular carcinoma Hep3B cells. Using mRNA differential display, we have identified two genes: one is specifically up-regulated and encodes for human Sox-4 (Sry-HMG box gene) and the other is significantly down-regulated and is the human homolog of yeast Ssf-1, a novel splicing factor. Northern blot analysis confirmed their differential expressions. Interestingly, Sox-4 was highly expressed in subcutaneous tumors grown in nude mice as a xenograft from Hep3B cells. These results suggest that the expression of Sox-4 may be related to the apoptosis pathway leading to cell death as well as to tumorigenesis, and that Ssf-1 gene may serve as a negative regulator of PGA2/Delta12-PGJ2-mediated Hep3B cell apoptosis.
