Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) induces apoptosis in a variety of tumor cell lines but not typically in normal or nontransformed cells, which makes TRAIL a desirable therapeutic agent to fight cancer. Human phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 4 (hPEBP4) is a recently identified anti-apoptotic molecule and has been shown to be highly expressed in breast and ovarian cancer cells. We demonstrate that silencing of hPEBP4 in CaoV-3 ovarian cancer cells potentiates TRAIL-induced apoptosis. We found that endogenous hPEBP4 interacts with Raf-1 and MEK1 in TRAIL-treated CaoV-3 cells by co-immunoprecipitation analysis. Simultaneously, silencing of hPEBP4 in CaoV-3 cells enhances TRAIL-induced ERK and JNK activation. Moreover, the inhibitors of MEK1 or JNK can reduce hPEBP4-silence-induced TRAIL sensitivity. Therefore, silencing of hPEBP4 in CaoV-3 ovarian cancer promotes TRAIL-induced apoptosis, and the increased MAPK activation is required for the apoptosis sensitization. All these data indicate that silencing of hPEBP4, an important potential target, may be a promising approach for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
