HL60 and EL4 cells incubated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) plus staurosporin, a potent inhibitor of protein kinases, showed at least 2-fold increased levels of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) activity compared with TNF-alpha alone both during rapid NF-kappa B activation from the cytosolic pool and protein synthesis-dependent NF-kappa B activation. NF-kappa B activation by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and interleukin-1 was inhibited by staurosporin. Staurosporin treatment hardly affected the TNF-alpha-induced increase in mRNA for the p51 subunit of NF-kappa B but interfered with any phorbol ester (PMA)-induced increase in p51 mRNA. Thus, induction of NF-kappa B and p51 mRNA by TNF-alpha was not mediated by a staurosporin-sensitive factor, but NF-kappa B activation by TNF-alpha was even reduced by action of a staurosporin-sensitive factor. Decreased levels of phosphorylation of TNF-R alpha (TNF receptor type alpha) after staurosporin-treatment correlated with increased induction of NF-kappa B by TNF-alpha. Staurosporin-treatment did not affect TNF-R levels. Although protein kinase C stimulation by PMA inhibited NF-kappa B activation by TNF-alpha, its action mechanism may be different from that of the staurosporin-sensitive factor. PMA induced disappearance of TNF-R alpha by shedding into the surrounding medium, with kinetics similar to those of its inhibition of NF-kappa B activation by TNF-alpha. Phosphorylation may not mediate receptor shedding, since PMA treatment did not detectably affect TNF-R alpha phosphorylation. 相似文献

Receptor activator of NF-kappa B ligand (RANKL) and its receptor activator of NF-kappa B (RANK) play pivotal roles in osteoclast differentiation and function. However, the structural determinants of the RANK that mediate osteoclast formation and function have not been definitively identified. To address this issue, we developed a chimeric receptor approach that permits a structure/function study of the RANK cytoplasmic domain in osteoclasts. Using this approach, we examined the role of six RANK putative tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor-binding motifs (PTM) (PTM1, ILLMT-REE(286-293); PTM2, PSQPS(349-353); PTM3, PFQEP(369-373); PTM4, VYVSQTSQE(537-545); PTM5, PVQEET(559-564); and PTM6, PVQEQG(604-609)) in osteoclast formation and function. Our data revealed that the RANK cytoplasmic domain possesses three functional motifs (PFQEP(369-373), PVQEET(559-564), and PVQEQG(604-609)) capable of mediating osteoclast formation and function. Moreover, we demonstrated that these motifs play distinct roles in activating intracellular signaling. PFQEP(369-373) initiates NF-kappa B, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and p38 signaling pathways and PVQEET(559-564) activates NF-kappa B and p38 pathways in osteoclasts, whereas PVQEQG(604-609) is only capable of activating NF-kappa B pathway. Significantly, the revelation of these functional RANK cytoplasmic motifs has not only laid a foundation for further delineating RANK signaling pathways in osteoclasts, but, more importantly, these RANK motifs themselves represent potential therapeutic targets for bone disorders such as osteoporosis. 相似文献

The signaling transduction mechanism mediated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in the alveolar epithelium is not well characterized. It was subsequently hypothesized that recombinant murine TNF-alpha (rmTNF-alpha) selectively regulates the inhibitory kappa B (I kappa B-alpha)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) pathway and interferes with the endogenous biosynthesis of pro-inflammatory (stimulatory) and anti-inflammatory (inhibitory) cytokines. The cytokine rmTNF-alpha induced, in a time- and dose-dependent manner, the degradation of I kappa B-alpha within the cytosolic compartment, an effect associated with up-regulating its phosphorylation. This allowed the biphasic regulation of selective NF-kappa B subunit nuclear translocation, thereby mediating a dual excitatory mechanism on NF-kappa B activation. The immunoregulatory effect of rmTNF-alpha was associated with a time-dependent induction of pro-inflammatory [interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha] and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokine biosynthesis. These results indicate a novel involvement of an I kappa B-alpha/NF-kappa B-sensitive pathway mediating the effect of TNF-alpha, which is associated with an autocrine, endogenous mechanism mediating the regulation of cytokine signaling. 相似文献

Cytokine signaling involves the participation of many adaptor proteins, including the docking protein TNF receptor-associated factor-2 (TRAF-2), which is believed to transmit the TNF-alpha signal through both the I kappa B/NF-kappa B and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/stress-related protein kinase (SAPK) pathways. The physiological role of TRAF proteins in cytokine signaling in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) is unknown. We characterized the effect of a dominant-negative TRAF-2 delivered by an adenoviral vector (Ad5dnTRAF-2) on the cytokine signaling cascade in several IEC and also investigated whether inhibiting the TRAF-2-transmitting signal blocked TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappa B and IL-8 gene expression. A high efficacy and level of Ad5dnTRAF-2 gene transfer were obtained in IEC using a multiplicity of infection of 50. Ad5dnTRAF-2 expression prevented TNF-alpha-induced, but not IL-1 beta-induced, I kappa B alpha degradation and NF-kappa B activation in NIH-3T3 and IEC-6 cells. TNF-alpha-induced JNK activation was also inhibited in Ad5dnTRAF-2-infected HT-29 cells. Induction of IL-8 gene expression by TNF-alpha was partially inhibited in Ad5dnTRAF-2-transfected HT-29, but not in control Ad5LacZ-infected, cells. Surprisingly, IL-1 beta-mediated IL-8 gene expression was also inhibited in HT-29 cells as measured by Northern blot and ELISA. We concluded that TRAF-2 is partially involved in TNF-alpha-mediated signaling through I kappa B/NF-kappa B in IEC. In addition, our data suggest that TRAF-2 is involved in IL-1 beta signaling in HT-29 cells. Manipulation of cytokine signaling pathways represents a new approach for inhibiting proinflammatory gene expression in IEC. 相似文献

Mitogen-activated protein kinases and NF-kappa B are involved in TNF-alpha responses to group B streptococci 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Mancuso G Midiri A Beninati C Piraino G Valenti A Nicocia G Teti D Cook J Teti G 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2002,169(3):1401-1409
TNF-alpha is a mediator of lethality in experimental infections by group B streptococcus (GBS), an important human pathogen. Little is known of signal transduction pathways involved in GBS-induced TNF-alpha production. Here we investigate the role of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and NF-kappa B in TNF-alpha production by human monocytes stimulated with GBS or LPS, used as a positive control. Western blot analysis of cell lysates indicates that extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase MAPKs, as well as I kappa B alpha, became phosphorylated, and hence activated, in both LPS- and GBS-stimulated monocytes. The kinetics of these phosphorylation events, as well as those of TNF-alpha production, were delayed by 30-60 min in GBS-stimulated, relative to LPS-stimulated, monocytes. Selective inhibitors of ERK 1/2 (PD98059 or U0126), p38 (SB203580), or NF-kappa B (caffeic acid phenetyl ester (CAPE)) could all significantly reduce TNF-alpha production, although none of the inhibitors used alone was able to completely prevent TNF-alpha release. However, this was completely blocked by combinations of the inhibitors, including PD98059-SB203580, PD98059-CAPE, or SB203580-CAPE combinations, in both LPS- and GBS-stimulated monocytes. In conclusion, our data indicate that the simultaneous activation of multiple pathways, including NF-kappa B, ERK 1/2, and p38 MAPKs, is required to induce maximal TNF-alpha production. Accordingly, in septic shock caused by either GBS or Gram-negative bacteria, complete inhibition of TNF-alpha release may require treatment with drugs or drug combinations capable of inhibiting multiple activation pathways. 相似文献

The activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) in intact cells is mechanistically not well understood. Therefore we investigated the modifications imposed on NF-kappa B/I kappa B components following stimulation and show that the final step of NF-kappa B induction in vivo involves phosphorylation of several members of the NF-kappa B/I kappa B protein families. In HeLa cells as well as in B cells, TNF-alpha rapidly induced nuclear translocation primarily of p50-p65, but not of c-rel. Both NF-kappa B precursors and I kappa B alpha became strongly phosphorylated with the same kinetics. In addition to the inducible phosphorylation after stimulation, B lymphocytes containing constitutive nuclear NF-kappa B revealed constitutively phosphorylated p65 and I kappa B alpha. Phosphorylation was accompanied by induced processing of the precursors p100 and p105 and by degradation of I kappa B alpha. As an in vitro model we show that phosphorylation of p105 impedes its ability to interact with NF-kappa B, as has been shown before for I kappa B alpha. Surprisingly, even p65, but not c-rel, was phosphorylated after induction in vivo, suggesting that TNF-alpha selectively activates only specific NF-kappa B heteromers and that modifications regulate not only I kappa B molecules but also NF-kappa B molecules. In fact, cellular NF-kappa B activity was phosphorylation-dependent and the DNA binding activity of p65-containing NF-kappa B was enhanced by phosphorylation in vitro. Furthermore, we found that the induction by hydrogen peroxide of NF-kappa B translocation to the nucleus, which is assumed to be triggered by reactive oxygen intermediates, also coincided with incorporation of phosphate into the same subunits that were modified after stimulation by TNF-alpha. Thus, phosphorylation appears to be a general mechanism for activation of NF-kappa B in vivo. 相似文献

Crohn's disease (CD) patients have an abnormal increase in intestinal epithelial permeability. The defect in intestinal tight junction (TJ) barrier has been proposed as an important etiologic factor of CD. TNF-alpha increases intestinal TJ permeability. Because TNF-alpha levels are markedly increased in CD, TNF-alpha increase in intestinal TJ permeability could be a contributing factor of intestinal permeability defect in CD. Our purpose was to determine some of the intracellular mechanisms involved in TNF-alpha modulation of intestinal epithelial TJ permeability by using an in vitro intestinal epithelial system consisting of filter-grown Caco-2 monolayers. TNF-alpha produced a concentration- and time-dependent increase in Caco-2 TJ permeability. TNF-alpha-induced increase in Caco-2 TJ permeability correlated with Caco-2 NF-kappa B activation. Inhibition of TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappa B activation by selected NF-kappa B inhibitors, curcumin and triptolide, prevented the increase in Caco-2 TJ permeability, indicating that NF-kappa B activation was required for the TNF-alpha-induced increase in Caco-2 TJ permeability. This increase in Caco-2 TJ permeability was accompanied by down-regulation of zonula occludens (ZO)-1 proteins and alteration in junctional localization of ZO-1 proteins. TNF-alpha modulation of ZO-1 protein expression and junctional localization were also prevented by NF-kappa B inhibitors. TNF-alpha did not induce apoptosis in Caco-2 cells, suggesting that apoptosis was not the mechanism involved in TNF-alpha-induced increase in Caco-2 TJ permeability. These results demonstrate for the first time that TNF-alpha-induced increase in Caco-2 TJ permeability was mediated by NF-kappa B activation. The increase in permeability was associated with NF-kappa B-dependent downregulation of ZO-1 protein expression and alteration in junctional localization. 相似文献

Toll-like receptor 4 mediates intracellular signaling without TNF-alpha release in response to Cryptococcus neoformans polysaccharide capsule 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Toll-like receptors (TLR) 2 and 4 are cell surface receptors that in association with CD14 enable phagocytic inflammatory responses to a variety of microbial products. Activation via these receptors triggers signaling cascades, resulting in nuclear translocation of NF-kappa B and a proinflammatory response including TNF-alpha production. We investigated whether TLRs participate in the host response to Cryptococcus neoformans glucuronoxylomannan (GXM), the major capsular polysaccharide of this fungus. Chinese hamster ovary fibroblasts transfected with human TLR2, TLR4, and/or CD14 bound fluorescently labeled GXM. The transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells were challenged with GXM, and activation of an NF-kappa B-dependent reporter construct was evaluated. Activation was observed in cells transfected with both CD14 and TLR4. GXM also stimulated nuclear NF-kappa B translocation in PBMC and RAW 264.7 cells. However, stimulation of these cells with GXM resulted in neither TNF-alpha secretion nor activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, p38, and stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. These findings suggest that TLRs, in conjunction with CD14, function as pattern recognition receptors for GXM. Furthermore, whereas GXM stimulates cells to translocate NF-kappa B to the nucleus, it does not induce activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways or release of TNF-alpha. Taken together, these observations suggest a novel scenario whereby GXM stimulates cells via CD14 and TLR4, resulting in an incomplete activation of pathways necessary for TNF-alpha production. 相似文献

We have previously shown that two tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptors (TNFR) exhibit antagonistic functions during neurodegenerative processes in vivo with TNFR1 aggravating and TNFR2 reducing neuronal cell loss, respectively. To elucidate the neuroprotective signaling pathways of TNFR2, we investigated glutamate-induced excitotoxicity in primary cortical neurons. TNF-expressing neurons from TNF-transgenic mice were found to be strongly protected from glutamate-induced apoptosis. Neurons from wild type and TNFR1(-/-) mice prestimulated with TNF or agonistic TNFR2-specific antibodies were also resistant to excitotoxicity, whereas TNFR2(-/-) neurons died upon glutamate and/or TNF exposures. Both protein kinase B/Akt and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) activation were apparent upon TNF treatment. Both TNFR1 and TNFR2 induced the NF-kappa B pathway, yet with distinguishable kinetics and upstream activating components, TNFR1 only induced transient NF-kappa B activation, whereas TNFR2 facilitated long term phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent NF-kappa B activation strictly. Glutamate-induced triggering of the ionotropic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor was required for the enhanced and persistent phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent NF-kappa B activation by TNFR2, indicating a positive cooperation of TNF and neurotransmitter-induced signal pathways. TNFR2-induced persistent NF-kappa B activity was essential for neuronal survival. Thus, the duration of NF-kappa B activation is a critical determinant for sensitivity toward excitotoxic stress and is dependent on a differential upstream signal pathway usage of the two TNFRs. 相似文献

Local TNF-alpha production in different organs may affect HIV replication and pathogenesis. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage from asymptomatic HIV-seropositive and HIV-seronegative individuals did not spontaneously release TNF-alpha, but LPS stimulation of these cells significantly increased TNF-alpha production. We tested whether NF-kappa B affects TNF-alpha production by AMs using N-tosyl-l -phenylalanine chloromethylketone (TPCK) or N-benzoyl-l -tyrosine ethyl ester (BTEE), which inhibit the degradation of I kappa B, or tricyclodecan-9-yl-xanthogenate-potassium (D609), which inhibits phospholipase C. Alveolar macrophages were exposed to LPS alone and with the chemical protease inhibitors TPCK, BTEE, and D609. NF-kappa B DNA binding induced by LPS treatment of AMs was inhibited by TPCK, BTEE, and D609. These agents also inhibited TNF-alpha mRNA and TNF-alpha protein production. After 24 h, the levels of TNF-alpha mRNA reached equilibrium, as assessed by RT-PCR. The levels of NF-kappa B mRNA remained constant under all conditions. The levels of I kappa B-alpha mRNA were similar after 30, 60, and 180 min, but the I kappa B-beta mRNA concentration was initially low and increased over time under all conditions. I kappa B-alpha and I kappa B-beta protein production was not affected by the chemical protease inhibitors. Our data show that TNF-alpha production by LPS-stimulated AMs from asymptomatic HIV-seropositive and -seronegative individuals is regulated via the phospholipase C pathway and by NF-kappa B DNA binding activity without obvious changes in I kappa B-alpha or I kappa B-beta protein concentrations. 相似文献
