Prostate apoptosis response-4 (Par-4) is a proapoptotic gene that selectively induces cell death in most cancer cells. In addition to the increased percentage of apoptotic cells, caspase-3 activity, and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage, we demonstrate that elevated expression of Par-4 and nuclear entry resulted in apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell lines either in serum deprivation or by ectopic overexpression of Par-4. Moreover, disassociation from the Par-4/Akt complex was correlated with the induced proapoptotic ability of Par-4. Therefore, our data suggest that the cytoplasmic localization and expression level of endogenous Par-4 in NPC cells are not sufficient to augment apoptosis.
