NF-κB activation by reactive oxygen species: Fifteen years later
Section snippets
Reactive oxygen species and cellular signalling
Molecular oxygen is an essential molecule for all aerobic life forms, notably for the cell to obtain energy as a form of ATP. Under normal or pathologic conditions, O2 is often transformed into highly reactive forms, called reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide anion (O2−) and hydroxyl radical (OH) [1], [2]. ROS are generated through multiple sources in the cell, such as the electron transport chain in mitochondria, ionizing radiations [3], [4] and through
NF-κB and NF-κB-activating pathways
The transcription factor NF-κB is crucial in a series of cellular processes, such as inflammation, immunity, cell proliferation and apoptosis. It consists of homo- or heterodimers of a group of five proteins, namely NF-κB1 (p50 and its precursor p105), NF-κB2 (p52 and its precursor p100), p65/RelA, c-Rel and RelB [21]. In the resting state, NF-κB is sequestered in the cytoplasm of the cell through its tight association with inhibitory proteins called IκBs, comprising IκBα, IκBβ, IκBγ, IκBɛ,
NF-κB activation by H2O2
The vast majority of studies concerning oxidant-induced NF-κB activation have used H2O2 as a direct source of ROS. After its production in the mitochondria or through specialised enzymes, superoxide anion (O2−) is rapidly metabolized into H2O2 via the following dismutation reaction: 2O2− + 2H+ → O2 + H2O2. This reaction occurs either spontaneously or is catalysed in cells by superoxide dismutase (SOD). H2O2 is a mild oxidant mediating its effects by itself or via its transformation into OH in the
NF-κB inhibition by ROS: the case of lung epithelial cells
Very few works have highlighted an inhibitory effect of H2O2 on NF-κB activation by pro-inflammatory cytokines. Nevertheless, a simultaneous exposure to pro-inflammatory mediators and ROS is likely to occur in inflammatory states. Korn et al. reported that, in this case, H2O2 is capable of inhibiting TNF-induced NF-κB activation in lung epithelial cells by reducing IKKβ activity through oxidation of cysteine residues in the IKK complex [56]. One likely candidate is cysteine 179 in the IKKβ
Modulation of NF-κB activation by other reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species
Although the vast majority of studies concerning oxidant-induced NF-κB activation have focussed on H2O2, other oxidants, like hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and singlet oxygen (1O2), have been shown to modulate NF-κB activation. On the other hand, some works have also highlighted NF-κB regulation by peroxinitrite which is a reactive nitrogen species. In this chapter, we will briefly summarize the current knowledge in that matter.
Involvement of reactive oxygen species in NF-κB activation by pro-inflammatory cytokines and LPS
To explain the fact that such a diversity of inducers activate NF-κB via the same IKK-dependent pathway, a model has emerged suggesting that all NF-κB activators cause an oxidative stress that is mainly responsible for IKK activation and IκBα degradation. This model is based on several observations, including that most of NF-κB-inducers trigger the formation of ROS [81], [82] and that several antioxidants can block NF-κB activation [83]. Indeed, an important number of papers have been published
Conclusions and perspectives
NF-κB redox regulation has been intensely studied in several cell-types and biological conditions. It is now clear that H2O2-induced NF-κB activation mechanism relies mainly on IKK activation, but the redox-sensitive pathways triggering this activation are quite different depending on the cell-type considered, which renders the drawing up of consensual models and the establishment of therapeutical strategies quite difficult to consider. The solution would be to study NF-κB redox regulation in
