<P>Colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis (CPC) exhibits severe tumor hypoxia, leading to drug resistance and disease aggressiveness. This study demonstrates that the combination of the chemotherapeutic agent mitomycin C with the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib induced synergistic cytotoxicity and apoptosis, which was even more effective under hypoxia in colorectal cancer cells. The combination of mitomycin C and bortezomib at sublethal doses induced activation of c-Jun NH<SUB>2</SUB>-terminal kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and resulted in Bcl-xL phosphorylation at Serine 62, leading to dissociation of Bcl-xL from proapoptotic Bak. Interestingly, the intracellular level of p53 became elevated and p53 translocated to the mitochondria during the combinatorial treatment, in particular under hypoxia. The coordinated action of Bcl-xL phosphorylation and p53 translocation to the mitochondria resulted in conformational activation of Bak oligomerization, facilitating cytochrome <I>c</I> release and apoptosis induction. In addition, the combinatorial treatment with mitomycin C and bortezomib significantly inhibited intraperitoneal tumor growth in LS174T cells and increased apoptosis, especially under hypoxic conditions <I>in vivo</I>. This study provides a preclinical rationale for the use of combination therapies for CPC patients.</P><P><B>Implications:</B> The combination of a chemotherapy agent and proteasome inhibitor at sublethal doses induced synergistic apoptosis, in particular under hypoxia, <I>in vitro</I> and <I>in vivo</I> through coordinated action of Bcl-xL and p53 on Bak activation. <I>Mol Cancer Res; 13(12); 1533–43. ©2015 AACR</I>.</P>
