Decitabine combined with cold atmospheric plasma induces pyroptosis via the ROS/Caspase-3/GSDME signaling pathway in Ovcar5 cells

BACKGROUND: High methylation of the DFNA5 gene results in the absence of GSDME, a key protein that mediates pyroptosis, while decitabine demethylates the DFNA5 gene, resulting in high expression of the GSDME protein. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a novel anti-cancer method that induces tumor cell death.

METHODS: The pyroptosis induced by decitabine in combination with CAP in Ovcar5 cells was evaluated. In particular, mitochondrial membrane potential was estimated by JC-1 staining, dehydrogenase (LDH) release was assessed by ELISA, Annexin V/PI staining was detected by flow cytometry, the cell cycle changes were evaluated using PI staining followed by detection by flow cytometry, and Caspase-9 cleavage, Caspase-3 cleavage and GSDME expression were evaluated by western blot.

RESULTS: Decitabine resulted in high expression of the GSDME in Ovcar5 in a concentration-dependent manner and increased tumor cell sensitivity to CAP. CAP induced mitochondrial damage and activated the Caspase-9/Caspase-3 pathway. Therefore, decitabine combined with CAP induced Ovcar5 cell pyroptosis through Caspase-3 mediated GSDME cleavage. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by CAP treatment played an important role in the CAP/decitabine combination-induced production of ROS, activation of Caspase-9/Caspase-3, GSDME cleavage and pyroptosis that ROS scavenger NAC inhibited all these processes.

CONCLUSIONS: CAP combined with decitabine induced Caspase-3 activation, which cleaved decitabine-upregulated GSDME and ediated pyroptosis.
