Peptide-Mediated Disruption of NFκB/NRF Interaction Inhibits IL-8 Gene Activation by IL-1 or Helicobacter pylori

Abstract: Selective inhibition of proinflammatory chemokines such as IL-8 is an important approach to combat inflammatory and infection diseases. Previous studies suggested that interaction of transcription factors NFκB repressing factor (NRF) and NFκB play a crucial role in activation of IL-8 gene expression. In a search for a specific inhibitor of IL-8 expression, we applied tandem affinity purification to investigate interaction of NRF and NFκB p65 in cells. We identified a synthetic peptide corresponding to aa 223–2… Show more

“…Comparable results were obtained from three independent experiments. Important proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF␣ or IL-1␤, as well as LPS are known to induce IL-8 expression via NFBcontaining transcription factor complexes targeting the IL-8 promoter (25)(26)(27). To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that PPAR␦ agonists lead to a concentration-dependent phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of p65 in nonstimulated endothelial cells, thereby increasing NFB DNA binding.…”

“…Examples include a peptide 6 S. Sengupta, C. Yang, M. L. Hegde, and S. Mitra, unpublished observations. corresponding to the interaction domain of NFRF (NF-␤-repressing factor) that inhibits NFRF-NF-␤ p65 interaction and consequent IL-8 gene activation (45), and a STAT3-derived phosphopeptide that inhibits its dimerization and transcriptional activities (46,47). Our study providing the proof of concept of inhibiting in vivo BER by disrupting complex formation could be exploited to enhance tumor cell susceptibility to drugs.…”

“…We hypothesize a common intracellular target within the pruritic infiammatory cascade. Structure alignment analysis by NCBI-BLAST, a wellestablished technique to analyse sequence homologies, showed significant molecular resemblance between lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LPH) and NF-kappa B repressing factor (NRF) (27,28). Therefore, NRF might be a key mediator merging both pathways.…”
