The aim of this study was to evaluate the participation of the Jak-1 and STAT-1 proteins in sodium butyrate-induced apoptosis in 2C4 cells derived from human fibrosarcoma. Making use of Jak-1 or STAT-1 deficient cell lines, we demonstrated that the apoptotic process induced by butyrate is independent of the presence of these proteins. In addition, this work showed that, although the constitutive expression of pro-caspases-2 and -3 is reduced in STAT-1 cells, the activity of caspase-3 is preserved in both Jak-1 and STAT-1 deficient cells and is similar to that seen in 2C4 parental cells. In conclusion, we demonstrated that the absence of functionally active Jak-1 or STAT-1 protein directly affects the TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis, but does not alter the sodium butyrate-induced apoptosis in cells derived from human fibrosarcoma.
