Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and lymphotoxin-beta receptor (LTbetaR) signaling both play important roles in inflammatory and immune responses through activation of NF-kappaB. Using various deficient mouse embryonic fibroblast cells, we have compared the signaling pathways leading to NF-kappaB induction in response to TNF-alpha and LTbetaR activation. We demonstrate that LTbetaR ligation induces not only RelA/p50 dimers but also RelB/p50 dimers, whereas TNF-alpha induces only RelA/p50 dimers. LTbetaR-induced binding of RelB/p50 requires processing of p100 that is mediated by IKKalpha but is independent of IKKbeta, NEMO/IKKgamma, and RelA. Moreover, we show that RelB, p50, and p100 can associate in the same complex and that TNF-alpha but not LTbeta signaling increases the association of p100 with RelB/p50 dimers in the nucleus, leading to the specific inhibition of RelB DNA binding. These results suggest that the alternative NF-kappaB pathway based on p100 processing may account not only for the activation of RelB/p52 dimers but also for that of RelB/p50 dimers and that p100 regulates the binding activity of RelB/p50 dimers via at least two distinct mechanisms depending on the signaling pathway involved.

Among follicular-derived thyroid cancers (TC), those with aggressive behavior and resistance to current treatments display poor prognosis. NF-κB signaling pathways are involved in tumor progression of various cancers. Here, we finely characterize the NF-κB pathways and their involvement in TC.

Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) transcription factors coordinate gene expression in response to a broad array of cellular signals. In vertebrates, there are five NF-κB proteins (c-Rel, RelA/p65, RelB, p50, and p52) that can form various dimeric combinations exhibiting both common and dimer-specific DNA-binding specificity. In this chapter, we describe the use of the nuclear extract protein-binding microarray (nextPBM), a high-throughput method to characterize the DNA binding of transcription factors present in cell nuclear extracts.

Environmental drug resistance constitutes a serious impediment for therapeutic intervention in multiple myeloma. Tumor-promoting cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), induce nuclear factor-κB (NFκB)- driven expression of pro-survival factors, which confer resistance in myeloma cells to apoptotic insults from TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and other chemotherapeutic drugs. It is thought that RelA:p50 dimer, activated from IκBα-inhibited complex in response to TNF-induced canonical NFκB signal, mediates the pro-survival NFκB function in cancerous cells.

Nuclear factor (NF)-κB is a transcription factor that plays significant role in immunity, cellular survival and inhibition of apoptosis, through the induction of genetic networks. Depending on the stimulus and the cell type, the members of NF-κB related family (RelA, c-Rel, RelB, p50, and p52), forms different combinations of homo and hetero-dimers. The activated complexes (Es) translocate into the nucleus and bind to the 10bp κB site of promoter region of target genes in stimulus specific manner.

Besides myelination of neuronal axons by oligodendrocytes to facilitate propagation of action potentials, oligodendrocytes also support axon survival and function. A key transcription factor involved in these processes is nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), a hetero or homodimer of the Rel family of proteins, including p65, c-Rel, RelB, p50, and p52. Under unstimulated, NF-κB remains inactive in the cytoplasm through interaction with NF-κB inhibitors (IκBs).
