HIV-tat protein, like TNF, activates a wide variety of cellular responses, including NF-kappa B, AP-1, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and apoptosis. Whether HIV-tat transduces these signals through the same mechanism as TNF is not known. In the present study we investigated the role of the T cell-specific tyrosine kinase p56lck in HIV-tat and TNF-mediated cellular responses by comparing the responses of Jurkat T cells with JCaM1 cells, an isogeneic lck-deficient T cell line. Treatment with HIV-tat protein activated NF-kappa B, degraded I kappa B alpha, and induced NF-kappa B-dependent reporter gene expression in a time-dependent manner in Jurkat cells but not in JCaM1 cells, suggesting the critical role of p56lck kinase. These effects were specific to HIV-tat, as activation of NF-kappa B by PMA, LPS, H2O2, and TNF was minimally affected. p56lck was also found to be required for HIV-tat-induced but not TNF-induced AP-1 activation. Similarly, HIV-tat activated the protein kinases JNK and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase in Jurkat cells but not in JCaM1 cells. HIV-tat also induced cytotoxicity, activated caspases, and reactive oxygen intermediates in Jurkat cells, but not in JCaM1 cells. HIV-tat activated p56lck activity in Jurkat cells. Moreover, the reconstitution of JCaM1 cells with p56lck tyrosine kinase reversed the HIV-tat-induced NF-kappa B activation and cytotoxicity. Overall, our results demonstrate that p56lck plays a critical role in the activation of NF-kappa B, AP-1, JNK, and apoptosis by HIV-tat protein but has minimal or no role in activation of these responses by TNF. 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

The cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib (also called celebrex), approved for the treatment of colon carcinogenesis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory diseases, has been shown to induce apoptosis and inhibit angiogenesis. Because NF-kappa B plays a major role in regulation of apoptosis, angiogenesis, carcinogenesis, and inflammation, we postulated that celecoxib modulates NF-kappa B. In the present study, we investigated the effect of this drug on the activation of NF-kappa B by a wide variety of agents. We found that celecoxib suppressed NF-kappa B activation induced by various carcinogens, including TNF, phorbol ester, okadaic acid, LPS, and IL-1 beta. Celecoxib inhibited TNF-induced I kappa B alpha kinase activation, leading to suppression of I kappa B alpha phosphorylation and degradation. Celecoxib suppressed both inducible and constitutive NF-kappa B without cell type specificity. Celecoxib also suppressed p65 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation. Akt activation, which is required for TNF-induced NF-kappa B activation, was also suppressed by this drug. Celecoxib also inhibited the TNF-induced interaction of Akt with I kappa B alpha kinase (IKK). Celecoxib abrogated the NF-kappa B-dependent reporter gene expression activated by TNF, TNF receptor, TNF receptor-associated death domain, TNF receptor-associated factor 2, NF-kappa B-inducing kinase, and IKK, but not that activated by p65. The COX-2 promoter, which is regulated by NF-kappa B, was also inhibited by celecoxib, and this inhibition correlated with suppression of TNF-induced COX-2 expression. Besides NF-kappa B, celecoxib also suppressed TNF-induced JNK, p38 MAPK, and ERK activation. Thus, overall, our results indicate that celecoxib inhibits NF-kappa B activation through inhibition of IKK and Akt activation, leading to down-regulation of synthesis of COX-2 and other genes needed for inflammation, proliferation, and carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Characterization of two distinct positive cis-acting elements in the mouse alpha 1 (III) collagen promoter 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have identified two distinct sequence elements in the mouse alpha 1(III) collagen promoter which are protected from DNase I digestion by the binding of factors present in crude nuclear extracts of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. Small substitution mutations were introduced into these promoter elements and shown by the gel retardation (gel mobility shift) and DNase I protection assays to decrease or eliminate factor binding to the mutated element but not to the remaining wild-type element, indicating that two distinct factors recognize these separate promoter regions. Region A appears to bind a factor related to the Jun/AP-1 protein, whereas the factor binding to region B remains as yet unidentified. Mutagenesis of either region decreased the activity of the alpha 1(III) collagen promoter in DNA transfection assays by about 3-fold for the A region (located between - 122 and - 106) and about 5-fold for the B region (located between -83 and -61). These results indicate that regions A and B in the mouse alpha 1(III) collagen promoter are positive cis-regulatory elements, independently binding two distinct trans-activating factors. 相似文献
