IkappaB proteins control the subcellular localization and DNA binding activity of NF-kappaB transcription factors. BCL3 is a nuclear IkappaB that can inhibit or enhance the binding of NF-kappaB p50 or p52 homodimers to consensus DNA-binding (kappaB) sequences or form a kappaB-binding complex with homodimers. To study BCL3 function, we have used gel shift analysis and tagged protein and tagged DNA coprecipitation analyses. Our results show that at intermediate ratios of BCL3 to p52 all observed phosphoforms of BCL3 are able to form a kappaB-binding complex with p52 homodimers. At low BCL3/p52 ratios, BCL3 increases the rate of p52 homodimer binding to kappaB sites in the presence of nonconsensus DNA and dissociates from the complex. At high BCL3/p52 ratios, BCL3 forms a higher order inhibitory complex with p52 homodimers. All of these effects depend on BCL3 phosphorylation and relative concentration. These results indicate that BCL3 phosphorylation may affect its regulation of NF-kappaB-dependent transcription in vivo.

B cell lymphoma 3 (Bcl3), a member of the IκB family proteins, modulates transcription by primarily associating with NF-κB p50 and p52 homodimers. Bcl3 undergoes extensive phosphorylation, though the functions of many of these modifications remain unclear. We previously described that phosphorylation at Ser33, Ser114 and Ser446 partially switches Bcl3 from acting as an IκB-like inhibitor to a transcription regulator by associating with the (p52:p52):DNA binary complex.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: As a traditional Chinese medicine, Artemisia argyi has been used medicinally and eaten for more than 2000 years in China. It is widely reported in treating inflammatory diseases such as eczema, dermatitis, arthritis, allergic asthma and colitis. Although several studies claim that its volatile oil and organic reagent extracts have certain anti-inflammatory effects, the water-soluble fractions and molecular mechanisms have not been studied.

We have recently shown that IFNγ, produced during cancer therapy, induces expression of the Bcl3 proto-oncogene in ovarian cancer (OC) cells, resulting in their increased proliferation, migration, and invasion, but the mechanisms are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the IFNγ-induced Bcl3 expression is dependent on JAK1 and STAT1 signaling, and on p65 NFκB. Furthermore, the IFNγ-induced Bcl3 expression is associated with an increased occupancy of Ser-727 phosphorylated STAT1 and acetylated histone H3 at the Bcl3 promoter.

Background: Bone fracture healing is a postnatal regenerative process in which fibrocartilaginous callus formation and bony callus formation are important. Bony callus formation requires osteoblastic differentiation of MSCs.
Materials And Methods: The formation of callus was assessed by μCT, Safranin-O, H&E and Masson trichrome staining.
Activation of GSK3 Prevents Termination of TNF-Induced Signaling.

Background: Termination of TNF-induced signaling plays a key role in the resolution of inflammation with dysregulations leading to severe pathophysiological conditions (sepsis, chronic inflammatory disease, cancer). Since a recent phospho-proteome analysis in human monocytes suggested GSK3 as a relevant kinase during signal termination, we aimed at further elucidating its role in this context.
Materials And Methods: For the analyses, THP-1 monocytic cells and primary human monocytes were used.
