Abstract: | Using monolayers of intestinal cells, we reported that upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is required for oxidative injury and that activation of NF-B is key to cytoskeletal instability. In the present study, we hypothesized that NF-B activation is crucial to oxidant-induced iNOS upregulation and its injurious consequences: cytoskeletal oxidation and nitration and monolayer dysfunction. Wild-type (WT) cells were pretreated with inhibitors of NF-B, with or without exposure to oxidant (H2O2). Other cells were transfected with an IB mutant (an inhibitor of NF-B). Relative to WT cells exposed to vehicle, oxidant exposure caused increases in IB instability, NF-B subunit activation, iNOS-related activity (NO, oxidative stress, tubulin nitration), microtubule disassembly and instability (increased monomeric and decreased polymeric tubulin), and monolayer disruption. Monolayers pretreated with NF-B inhibitors (MG-132, lactacystin) were protected against oxidation, showing decreases in all measures of the NF-B iNOS NO pathway. Dominant mutant stabilization of IB to inactivate NF-B suppressed all measures of the iNOS/NO upregulation while protecting monolayers against oxidant insult. In these mutants, we found prevention of tubulin nitration and oxidation and enhancement of cytoskeletal and monolayer stability. We concluded that 1) NF-B is required for oxidant-induced iNOS upregulation and for the consequent nitration and oxidation of cytoskeleton; 2) NF-B activation causes cytoskeletal injury following upregulation of NO-driven processes; and 3) the molecular event underlying the destabilizing effects of NF-B appears to be increases in carbonylation and nitrotyrosination of the subunit components of cytoskeleton. The ability to promote NO overproduction and cytoskeletal nitration/oxidation is a novel mechanism not previously attributed to NF-B in cells. tubulin cytoskeleton; microtubules; oxidation/nitration; inducible nitric oxide synthase/peroxynitrite; inflammatory bowel disease; Caco-2 cells; gut barrier; nuclear factor-B/IB |
