Here we show that 3 structurally distinct SSRIsfluoxetine, paroxetine, and citalopramact directly on Burkitt lymphoma (BL) cells to trigger rapid and extensive programmed cell death. SSRIs unexpectedly stimulated calcium flux, tyrosine phosphorylation, and down-regulation of the c-myc and nm23 genes in Burkitt lymphoma cells remaining faithful to the biopsy phenotype. Resultant SSRI-induced apoptosis was preceded by caspase activation, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) cleavage, DNA fragmentation, a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and the externalization of phosphatidylserine, and reversed by the overexpression of bcl-2.
