The activation of NF-kappaB has been shown to be regulated by multiple phosphorylations of IkappaBs and the NF-kappaB p65 subunit. Here, we characterized the intracellular signaling pathway leading to phosphorylation of p65 on Ser-536 using a novel anti-phospho-p65 (Ser-536) antibody. The Ser-536 of endogenous p65 was rapidly phosphorylated in response to a wide variety of NF-kappaB stimulants including TNF-alpha in the cytoplasm and rapidly dephosphorylated in the nucleus. The TNF-alpha-but not IL-1beta-induced Ser-536 phosphorylation was severely impaired in murine embryonic fibroblasts derived from traf2-/-traf5-/- mice. Bay 11-7082, an inhibitor of IkappaB phosphorylation, inhibited the TNF-alpha-induced phosphorylation in vivo. In addition, overexpression of TGF-beta-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), IKKalpha and IKKbeta stimulated the phosphorylation, and their dominant negative mutants blocked the TNF-alpha-induced phosphorylation. Moreover, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against TAK1, IKKalpha and IKKbeta blocked the phosphorylation of endogenous p65. On the other hand, calyculin-A, a protein phosphatase inhibitor, blocked the dephosphorylation in the nucleus in vivo. These results indicate that similar signaling pathways were utilized for the phosphorylations of IkappaBalpha and p65, which further support the idea that both IkappaB and NF-kappaB are substrates for the IKK complex in the activation of NF-kappaB.  相似文献

Leptin, the adipocyte-secreted hormone that centrally regulates weight control, is known to function as an immunomodulatory regulator. We investigated the signaling pathway involved in IL-6 production caused by leptin in microglia. Microglia expressed the long (OBRl) and short (OBRs) isoforms of the leptin receptor. Leptin caused concentration- and time-dependent increases in IL-6 production. Leptin-mediated IL-6 production was attenuated by OBRl receptor antisense oligonucleotide, PI3K inhibitor (Ly294002 and wortmannin), Akt inhibitor (1L-6-hydroxymethyl-chiro-inositol-2-((R)-2-O-methyl-3-O-octadecylcarbonate)), NF-kappaB inhibitor (pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate), IkappaB protease inhibitor (L-1-tosylamido-2-phenylenylethyl chloromethyl ketone), IkappaBalpha phosphorylation inhibitor (Bay 117082), or NF-kappaB inhibitor peptide. Transfection with insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 small-interference RNA or the dominant-negative mutant of p85 and Akt also inhibited the potentiating action of leptin. Stimulation of microglia with leptin activated IkappaB kinase alpha/IkappaB kinase beta, IkappaBalpha phosphorylation, IkappaBalpha degradation, p65 phosphorylation at Ser(276), p65 and p50 translocation from the cytosol to the nucleus, and kappaB-luciferase activity. Leptin-mediated an increase of IkappaB kinase alpha/IkappaB kinase beta activity, kappaB-luciferase activity, and p65 and p50 binding to the NF-kappaB element was inhibited by wortmannin, Akt inhibitor, and IRS-1 small-interference RNA. The binding of p65 and p50 to the NF-kappaB elements, as well as the recruitment of p300 and the enhancement of histone H3 and H4 acetylation on the IL-6 promoter was enhanced by leptin. Our results suggest that leptin increased IL-6 production in microglia via the leptin receptor/IRS-1/PI3K/Akt/NF-kappaB and p300 signaling pathway.  相似文献

Recent investigations have elucidated the cytokine-induced NF-kappaB activation pathway. IkappaB kinase (IKK) phosphorylates inhibitors of NF-kappaB (IkappaBs). The phosphorylation targets them for rapid degradation through a ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, allowing the nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB. We have examined the possibility that IKK can phosphorylate the p65 NF-kappaB subunit as well as IkappaB in the cytokine-induced NF-kappaB activation. In the cytoplasm of HeLa cells, the p65 subunit was rapidly phosphorylated in response to TNF-alpha in a time dependent manner similar to IkappaB phosphorylation. In vitro phosphorylation with GST-fused p65 showed that a p65 phosphorylating activity was present in the cytoplasmic fraction and the target residue was Ser-536 in the carboxyl-terminal transactivation domain. The endogenous IKK complex, overexpressed IKKs, and recombinant IKKbeta efficiently phosphorylated the same Ser residue of p65 in vitro. The major phosphorylation site in vivo was also Ser-536. Furthermore, activation of IKKs by NF-kappaB-inducing kinase induced phosphorylation of p65 in vivo. Our finding, together with previous observations, suggests dual roles for IKK complex in the regulation of NF-kappaB.IkappaB complex.  相似文献

Binding of activated forms of the proteinase inhibitor alpha2-macroglobulin (alpha2M*) to cell surface-associated GRP78 on 1-LN human prostate cancer cells causes their proliferation. We have now examined the interplay between Akt activation, regulation of apoptosis, the unfolded protein response, and activation of NF-kappaB in alpha2M*-induced proliferation of 1-LN cells. Exposure of cells to alpha2M* (50 pM) induced phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent activation of Akt by phosphorylation at Thr-308 and Ser-473 with a concomitant 60-80% increase in Akt-associated kinase activity. ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK were also activated, but there was only a marginal effect on JNK activation. Treatment of 1-LN cells with alpha2M* down-regulated apoptosis and promoted NF-kappaB activation as shown by increases of Bcl-2, p-Bad(Ser-136), p-FOXO1(Ser-253), p-GSK3beta(Ser-9), XIAP, NF-kappaB, cyclin D1, GADD45beta, p-ASK1(Ser-83), and TRAF2 in a time of incubation-dependent manner. alpha2M* treatment of 1-LN cells, however, showed no increase in the activation of caspase -3, -9, or -12. Under these conditions, we observed increased unfolded protein response signaling as evidenced by elevated levels of GRP78, IRE1alpha, XBP-1, ATF4, ATF6, p-PERK, p-eIF2alpha, and GADD34 and reduced levels of GADD153. Silencing of GRP78 gene expression by RNAi suppressed activation of Akt(Thr-308), Akt(Ser-473), and IkappaB kinase alpha kinase. The effects of alpha2M* on the NF-kappaB activation, antiapoptotic signaling, unfolded protein response signaling, and proapoptotic signaling were also reversed by this treatment. In conclusion, alpha2M* promotes cellular proliferation of 1-LN prostate cancer cells by activating MAPK and Akt-dependent signaling, down-regulating apoptotic signaling, and activating unfolded protein response signaling.  相似文献

This review will discuss the recent literature on the molecular mechanism of NF-kappaB activation, with special focus on IkappaB alpha dynamism involved in iNOS- and chemokine-induction in glial cells. NF-kappaB, a heterotrimer composed of p50, p65 (Rel A) and IkappaB alpha, has been shown to be activated by elimination of the regulatory subunit IkappaB alpha from the heterotrimer. The elimination of IkappaB alpha (formation of active NF-kappaB, p50-p65) is due to phosplorylation of serines 32 and 36 of IkappaB alpha, followed by polyubiquitination and 26S proteasomal degradation of IkappaB alpha. Experiments using stable clones of rat C6 glioma cells transfected with dominant negative IkappaB alpha (serines 32 and 36 replaced by alanine) suggest that NF-kappaB activation (phosphorylation of IkappaB alpha) is involved in LPS/IFNgamma- or IL-1beta/IFNgamma-induced iNOS expression. Furthermore, the time courses of phosphorylation, ubiquitination of IkappaB alpha and proteasome activity after IL-1beta treatment also suggest that 26S proteasomal degradation of IkappaB alpha is more crucial for chemokine expression in glial cells.  相似文献

The somatostatin analogue, TT-232 inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in a variety of tumor cells both in vivo and in vitro. While the early transient activation of Erk/MAPK was found to be important for the induction of cell cycle arrest, the signaling pathway leading to the activation of Erk/MAPK had not been fully established. Here we present evidence that activation of the Erk/MAPK pathway by TT-232 involves PI 3-kinase, PKCdelta and the protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha (PTPalpha). We show a physical interaction of PI 3-kinase and PKCdelta with PTPalpha and show that the tyrosine phosphatase plays a role in the activation of MAPK. In this process, PTPalpha Ser-180 and Ser-204 phosphorylation is critical for the induction of phosphatase activity, which is required for dephosphorylation of pp60(c-src). Taken together, we demonstrate the physical and functional association between PI 3-kinase, PKCdelta and PTPalpha in a signaling complex that mediates the antitumor activity of the somatostatin analogue TT-232.  相似文献

1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (VD(3)) induces differentiation in a number of leukemia cell lines and under various conditions is able to either stimulate or inhibit nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) activity. Here we report a time-dependent biphasic regulation of NF-kappaB in VD(3)-treated HL-60 leukemia cells. After VD(3) treatment there was an early approximately 4 h suppression and a late 8-72 h prolonged reactivation of NF-kappaB. The reactivation of NF-kappaB was concomitant with increased IKK activities, IKK-mediated IkappaBalpha phosphorylation, p65 phosphorylation at residues S276 and S536, p65 nuclear translocation and p65 recruitment to the NF-kappaB/vitamin D responsive element promoters. In parallel with NF-kappaB stimulation, there was an up-regulation of NF-kappaB controlled inflammatory and anti-apoptotic genes such as TNFalpha, IL-1beta and Bcl-xL. VD(3)-triggered reactivation of NF-kappaB was associated with PI3K/Akt phosphorylation. PI3K/Akt antagonists suppressed VD(3)-stimulated IkappaBalpha phosphorylation as well as NF-kappaB-controlled gene expression. The early approximately 4 h VD(3)-mediated NF-kappaB suppression coincided with a prolonged increase of IkappaBalpha protein which require de novo protein synthesis, lasted for as least 72 h and was insensitive to MAPK, IKK or PI3K/Akt inhibitors. Our data suggest a novel biphasic regulation of NF-kappaB in VD(3)-treated leukemia cells and our results may have provided the first molecular explanation for the contradictory observations reported on VD(3)-mediated immune-regulation.  相似文献

Articular adipose tissue is a ubiquitous component of human joints, and adiponectin is a protein hormone secreted predominantly by differentiated adipocytes and involved in energy homeostasis. We investigated the signaling pathway involved in IL-6 production caused by adiponectin in both rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts and osteoarthritis synovial fibroblasts. Rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts and osteoarthritis synovial fibroblasts expressed the AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 isoforms of the adiponectin receptor. Adiponectin caused concentration- and time-dependent increases in IL-6 production. Adiponectin-mediated IL-6 production was attenuated by AdipoR1 and 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)alpha1 small interference RNA. Pretreatment with AMPK inhibitor (araA and compound C), p38 inhibitor (SB203580), NF-kappaB inhibitor, IkappaB protease inhibitor, and NF-kappaB inhibitor peptide also inhibited the potentiating action of adiponectin. Adiponectin increased the kinase activity and phosphorylation of AMPK and p38. Stimulation of synovial fibroblasts with adiponectin activated IkappaB kinase alpha/beta (IKK alpha/beta), IkappaBalpha phosphorylation, IkappaBalpha degradation, p65 phosphorylation at Ser (276), p65 and p50 translocation from the cytosol to the nucleus, and kappaB-luciferase activity. Adiponectin-mediated an increase of IKK alpha/beta activity, kappaB-luciferase activity, and p65 and p50 binding to the NF-kappaB element and was inhibited by compound C, SB203580 and AdipoR1 small interference RNA. Our results suggest that adiponectin increased IL-6 production in synovial fibroblasts via the AdipoR1 receptor/AMPK/p38/IKKalphabeta and NF-kappaB signaling pathway.  相似文献

Cells of the weakly CD14 positive human B cell line RPMI 8226, clone 1, will mobilize NF-kappaB (p50/p65 and p50/p50) proteins and produce TNF mRNA when stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). When such cells are precultured with a low amount of LPS (50-250 ng/ml) for 3 - 4 days followed by a secondary stimulation with a high dose of LPS (1 microg/ml) then the cytokine expression is strongly reduced, i. e. the cells have become tolerant. Western blot analysis of proteins of the NF-kappaB/rel family demonstrates cytoplasmic p50 and p65 for naive B cells plus a low level of p52. While with tolerance induction the pattern of p50 and p65 proteins remains essentially unchanged, the LPS tolerant 8226 cells show a dramatic increase of both p52 protein and its p100 precursor in the cytosol. This p52 is found strongly upregulated in Western blots of extracts from purified nuclei of tolerant cells. Also, gelshift analysis with the -605 kappaB motif of the human TNF 5'-region shows an additional high mobility complex in LPS tolerant cells -a complex that is supershifted with an anti-p52 antibody. Functional analysis with the -1064 TNF 5'-region in front of the luciferase reporter gene demonstrates that transactivation of the TNF promoter is strongly reduced in tolerant cells. Also, overexpression of p52 will suppress activity of TNF promoter reporter gene constructs. Taken together these data show that tolerance to LPS in the human RPMI 8226 B cell line involves upregulation of the p52 (NF-kappaB2) gene, which appears to be instrumental in the blockade of TNF gene expression.  相似文献
