B Activity by Glucocorticoids
Hubrecht Laboratory Netherlands Institute for Developmental Biology 3584 CT Utrecht, The Netherlands
Repression of nuclear factor (NF)-
B-dependent
gene expression is one of the key characteristics by which
glucocorticoids exert their antiinflammatory and immunosuppressive
effects. In vitro studies have shown protein-protein
interactions between NF-
B and the glucocorticoid receptor, possibly
explaining their mutual repression of transcriptional activity.
Furthermore, glucocorticoid-induced transcription of I
B
was
presented as a mechanism in mediation of immunosuppression by
glucocorticoids. At present, the relative contribution of each
mechanism has not been investigated. We show that dexamethasone induced
I
B
gene transcription in human pulmonary epithelial A549 cells.
However, this enhanced I
B
synthesis did not cause repression of
NF-
B DNA-binding activity. In addition, dexamethasone was still
able to inhibit the expression of NF-
B target genes
(cyclooxygenase-2, intercellular adhesion molecule-1) in the absence of
protein synthesis. Furthermore, we show that the antihormone RU486 did
not induce I
B
expression. However, RU486 was still able to
induce, albeit less efficiently, both glucocorticoid- and progesterone
receptor-mediated repression of endogenous NF-
B target gene
expression in A549 cells and the breast cancer cell line T47D,
respectively. Taken together, these results indicate that induced
I
B
expression accounts for only part of the repression of NF-
B
activity by glucocorticoids and progestins. In addition,
protein-protein interactions between NF-
B and the glucocorticoid or
progesterone receptor, resulting in repression of NF-
B activity,
seem also to be involved. We therefore conclude that NF-
B activity
is repressed via a dual mechanism involving both protein-protein
interactions and induction of I
B
.
