We evaluated the ability of alpha-tocopheryl succinate (alpha-TOS) to sensitise TRAIL-resistant malignant mesothelioma (MM) cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. We show that alpha-TOS activates expression of DR4/DR5 in a p53-dependent manner and re-establishes sensitivity of resistant MM cells to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, as documented in p53wt MM cells but not in their p53null counterparts. MM cells selected for TRAIL resistance expressed low cell surface levels of DR4 and DR5. Treatment with sub-lethal doses of alpha-TOS restored expression of DR4 and DR5. The ability of alpha-TOS to modulate expression of pro-apoptotic genes may play a role in sensitisation of tumour cells to immunological stimuli.
