The details of molecular switching points between apoptosis and autophagy in tumor cells have still not been fully elucidated. This study focused on the role of cathepsin B and its substrate, BID as molecular links between apoptosis and autophagy in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells exposed to camptothecin. Apoptosis occurred rapidly with a peak in 60 min after drug administration, whereas autophagy developed at a much slower rate with continuous progression during 24 h of cell exposure to the drug. CPT induced very rapid activation of cathepsin B. Inhibition of cathepsins by E64d prevented CPT-induced BAX and BID aggregation on mitochondria and reduced significantly reduced apoptotic cell number. The above effects were accompanied by an increase in autophagosome formation, measured by expression of MAP I LC3. BID knock down resulted in strong suppression of CPT-induced apoptosis and a shift of cell death towards autophagy, manifesting with an increase of Beclin 1 and MAP I LC3 cellular content.
