Samenvatting

Apoptosis can be activated by tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand
(TRAIL) in a wide range of tumor cells, but not in non-transformed cells.
TRAIL interaction with receptors DR4 or DR5 induces apoptosis, whereas DcR1,
DcR2 and osteoprotegerin are decoy receptors for TRAIL. TRAIL variants (single
mutant, D269H, and double mutant D296H/E195R) engineered to selectively activate
DR5 but not DR4 enhanced pro-caspase-8 processing and apoptosis in tumor
cells, compared to wild-type TRAIL. D269H/E195R showed a 17 fold faster kinetics
of receptor activation than wild-type TRAIL. The robust receptor activation was
not due to altered 3D ligand structures or aggregation but to high affinity and selectivity
towards DR5, which prevented ligand-induced receptor heteromerization and
neutralization by decoys. These findings have important implications for the design
of anticancer therapeutic agents and cytokine engineering.
