Abstract

Nuclear factor kappB (NFkappaB) is a transcription factor that controls several genes important for immunity and inflammation. The aim of this study was to assess if activation of NFkappaB plays a role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and whether steroid treatment affects NFkappaB activation. Activation of NFkappaB was analysed in colon biopsy samples of 13 patients with active IBD (8 Crohn's colitis, 5 ulcerative colitis) by electrophoretic mobility-shift assays, under basal conditions and 3 weeks after treatment with 0.75 mg kg(-1) day(-1) prednisolone. The presence of interleukin-8 mRNA in biopsies was assessed by RT-PCR. A specific NFkappaB band was present in all nuclear extracts from inflamed mucosa, whereas the band was barely detectable in uninflamed colonic mucosa. NFkappaB bands were super-shifted by antibodies against p50 subunit, whereas antibodies against p65, p52, c-Rel, or Rel B did not modify the mobility of the band. Increased interleukin-8 mRNA was detected at the same sites of NFkappaB activation. Steroid-induced healing of colonic inflammation was associated with disappearance of NFkappaB from nuclear extracts. These results support the notion that NFkappaB plays an important role in ...Continue Reading
