Mechanisms and pathways responsible for cytotoxicity of sulforaphane (SF) in colon cancer cells with deleted p53 were investigated during 48 h of exposure. SF showed dose-dependent cytotoxicity and proapoptotic activity in the present model. In addition, in HCT-116 p53KO cells SF induced DNA damage with the subsequent cellular response and signaling not including p53 and caspase-2 pathways. Conversely, in SF-treated cells JNK was activated which led to an early lysosomal membrane permeabilization, release of cathepsin B and D and activation of Bid by specific cleavage. Concomitantly, the expression of Bax increased in the presence of JNK-mediated Bcl-2 inhibition which was followed by mitochondrial release of cytochrome c and activation of apoptosis. These results suggest that SF may be useful as a chemopreventive agent in colon cancer with inactivated or lost p53.
