NF-kappaB Inhibits Expression of the alpha1(I) Collagen Gene

Abstract: Fibrosis results from an increase in the synthesis and deposition of type I collagen. Fibrosis is frequently associated with inflammation, which is accompanied by increased levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) and activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB. However, several agents known to activate NF-kappaB, such as phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and TNFalpha, result in decreased expression of type I collagen. Therefore, we directly examined the effects of NF-kappaB on alpha1(I) colla… Show more

“…In addition, despite the fact that NF-B is commonly described as an activator transcription factor, our results strongly support its involvement in the inhibition of TGF␤RII expression. That NF-B could downregulate transcription is also consistent with studies reporting its inhibitory action through direct interaction with DNA at Sp-1-like sites (32) or by sequestration of CBP/p300 transcription coactivators (33,34). Therefore, we cannot exclude a similar mechanism in the IL-1␤ regulation of TGF␤RII.…”

“…We found that the major predentin structural component, type I collagen, was down-regulated by LTA. This finding is in agreement with the fact that NF-B pathway activation decreases expression of ␣1(I) and ␣2(I) collagen genes (44,45). It also indicates that our model of odontoblast stimulation by LTA is relevant to the in vivo situation of active carious lesions.…”

“…4B). These results suggest that even though IL-1␤ induces NF-B binding activity, the effect of this cytokine on COL2A1 gene expression is not mediated through an increase of p65 binding to a Sp1-responsive element found in COL2A1 promoter, as demonstrated for COL1A1 gene expression (32).…”
