Abstract

Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is one of major component induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF), and its role in the signaling of TNF-induced cell death remains controversial. In order to delineate whether the involvement of NF-kappaB activation is required for triggering of the apoptotic signal of TNF, we inhibited the nuclear translocation of this transcription factor in TNF-sensitive MCF7 cells by introducing a human MAD-3 mutant cDNA coding for a mutated IkappaB alpha that is resistant to both phosphorylation and proteolytic degradation and that behaves as a potent dominant negative IkappaB alpha protein. Our results demonstrated that the mutated IkappaB alpha was stably expressed in the transfected MCF7 cells and blocked the TNF-induced NF-kappaB nuclear translocation. Indeed, TNF treatment of these cells induced the proteolysis of only the endogenous IkappaB alpha but not the mutated IkappaB alpha. The nuclear NF-kappaB released from the endogenous IkappaB alpha within 30 min of TNF treatment was rapidly inhibited by the mutated IkappaB alpha. There was no significant difference either in cell viability or in the kinetics of cell death between control cells and the mutated IkappaB alpha transfected cells. Further...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
