NF-kappaB Mediated Transcriptional Repression of Acid Modifying Hormone Gastrin

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori is a major pathogen associated with the development of gastroduodenal diseases. It has been reported that H. pylori induced pro-inflammatory cytokine IL1B is one of the various modulators of acid secretion in the gut. Earlier we reported that IL1B-activated NFkB down-regulates gastrin, the major hormonal regulator of acid secretion. In this study, the probable pathway by which IL1B induces NFkB and affects gastrin expression has been elucidated. IL1B-treated AGS cells showed nine-fold activation of MyD88 followed by phosphorylation of TAK1 within 15 min of IL1B treatment. Furthermore, it was observed that activated TAK1 significantly up-regulates the NFkB subunits p50 and p65. Ectopic expression of NFkB p65 in AGS cells resulted in about nine-fold transcriptional repression of gastrin both in the presence and absence of IL1B. The S536A mutant of NFkB p65 is significantly less effective in repressing gastrin. These observations show that a functional NFkB p65 is important for IL1B-mediated repression of gastrin. ChIP assays revealed the presence of HDAC1 and NFkB p65 along with NCoR on the gastrin promoter. Thus, the study provides mechanistic insight into the IL1B-mediated gastrin repression via NFkB.

RANKL coordinates multiple osteoclastogenic pathways by regulating expression of ubiquitin ligase RNF146

“…Our findings reveal an unrecognized function of RANKL, coordinating activation of SRC through induction of 3BP2 and repression of β-catenin together with the canonical RANK signaling pathways required for osteoclastogenesis. Specifically, we found a new role of NF-κB as a transcriptional repressor of RNF146 (25)(26)(27). A reduction of RNF146 expression by NF-κB attenuates ubiquitylation and degradation of its substrates, 3BP2 and AXIN1, leading to activation of SRC kinase and suppression of β-catenin, respectively ( Figure 8).…”

Microbiota promotes systemic T-cell survival through suppression of an apoptotic factor

“…Given the complexity and multiple pathways leading to activation of NF-κB, we did not evaluate this within this study. Future experiments should be aimed at addressing a role for NF-κB signaling, as NF-κB could be acting to induce an intermediate factor that represses Erdr1 or this could be an example of how NF-κB functions as a transcriptional repressor (35). TLR2 is able to pair with other receptors including TLR1 and -6 that increase the array of agonists that can bind to TLR2.…”

Neuroprotective Effects of Sulphated Agaran from Marine Alga Gracilaria cornea in Rat 6‐Hydroxydopamine Parkinson's Disease Model: Behavioural, Neurochemical and Transcriptional Alterations

“…p65 subunit (p65) is the main constituent protein and a marker for the nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB), which is considered the master transcriptional regulator of the inflammatory process and is associated with the neurodegenerative mechanism in animal models induced by 6‐OHDA and other neurotoxins such as rotenone and MPTP . Moreover, NFkB up‐regulates the transcription of several genes, including interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) . In addition, NFkB is associated with the down‐regulation of neurotrophic factors .…”
